Reading Assignment 7

After all the bad news about Mrs. Joe's passing, Pip had a feeling that Orlick was involved with this incident. The author wants the reader to think that it was Orlick, because of how Orlick got into a fight with Mr. and Mrs Joe earlier. The reader then finds out that Mrs. Joe's last words involved Pip and Joe. I know after reading that, I feel that Mrs. Joe always did care for both of them, but it might of just felt that she didn't sometimes. Since Pip needed help with his debts, Mr. Jaggers then gives Pip some money to help. Mr. Jaggers definitely seems to be a good friend towards Pip, because he helps him in many ways. Then Pip's feelings toward Estella grew more, because the reader finds out that Pip always felt jealous when people were near her. Pip also feels that Estella is favoring Drummle over him. Pip then meets his convict and after they are done talking Pip feels that the convict is a great benefit. In this story Dickens chose the convicts first name, which is Abel, because he is a good person towards Pip, and that name represents a name from a good person from another story. Then Pip and Herbert persuade Magwitch to leave England, because he could be in great danger.
