Reading Assignment 6

Pip or Handel, as Herbert calls him, is on the streets and is convinced to come to a dinner party. The dinner party was at Wemmick's house and Pip feels that Wemmick is a nice person to have as a friend. After the dinner Pip receives a letter from Biddy, telling him that Joe and Mr. Wopsle are coming to London. Pip is then preparing himself for Joe's arrival. When Joe gets there, he tells Pip things about at home, and about how Estella is home now, in which she wants to see Pip. Even though I already knew that Joe acts like a good friend towards Pip, this shows that he is a very good friend, because he is telling Pip everything back at home. Pip then finds out that Mr. Pumblechook is Pip's earliest patron and founder of his fortunes. Pip then finds out that Orlick is at Miss Havisham's. I also think that Pip doesn't like Orlick being there just because of how he got into a fight with Mr. and Mrs Joe. Pip then felt that Estella was not acting that nice to Pip with how she was showing her manners. Pip was then feeling that he could have been happier and felt better towards himself if he have never met Miss Havisham. Then making Pip feeling worse, he receives a letter that said Mrs. Joe Gargery had past away and he had to attend the funeral.
