Reading Assignment 5

Pip finally arrives in London, in which he meets Mr. Jaggers. The reader should think that Pip is feeling relieved, because he is with someone that he has already met back at home. When Pip is walking through London, he had some doubts and he was not sure of what he thought of London. Pip then finds out that he will be staying at Mr. Pocket's for a while. Pip then meets Herbert Pocket, the boy Pip got into a fight with at Miss Havisham's. The reader should think that Pip and Herbert are starting to become friends, even though they had that fight. Herbert also calls Pip Handel instead of Pip. Pip feels that Herbert is calling him Handel, because he is a gentleman now. You can determine that they are becoming friends, because Herbert is teaching Pip things, and also telling him things about Miss Havisham. Pip finds out that Estella was brought up by Miss Havisham, to have revenge on all men. Pip also hears about how Miss Havisham was going to get married, but her husband never showed up for the wedding. Pip also realizes that with her husband not showing up for the wedding, is the reason why she acts the way she does. You could also figure out that Mr. Jaggers is a friend to Pip by the way he acts toward Pip. An example of Mr. Jaggers being a friendly person to Pip is that Mr. Jaggers gave Pip money for him to have.
