The story begins with the interaction between Pip and a convict. As the convict intimidated him to bring food and a file, Pip was so horrified and obeyed on everything. The next morning, he gave the convict what he wanted and went back to his home. Then, Joe and Pip went to Christmas dinner and encountered a group of policemen. Pip got terrified and believed that they were going to arrest him. However, his anticipation was wrong and everything went on smoothly. Later on, Pumblechook, his uncle, took him to Miss Havisham’s place, Satis House. There, Pip met Estella and fell in love although Estella’s attitude toward Pip was not good. With the assist of Biddy, his friend, Pip got interested in education and showed strong desires to learn. Then, he met a stranger stirring his drink with the same file as the convict’s. The stranger gave him money and he hoped people won’t find out his relationship with the convict.
Throughout the story, matching his age, Pip’s attitude was so innocent and cute. If I were Pip at that age, I would have done the same thing as what he has done: obeying to a stranger, getting terrified easily, and so on. The one thing I disliked about the story was that the author, Charles Dickens, used a lot of long descriptions that often made me bored and sleepy. Even though the story itself was funny and interesting, the way he portrayed stuff and his styles did not fit. Because the descriptions were often very long, I had hard times understanding what he meant and got confused easily. On the other hand, those descriptions sort of made me imagine things better sometimes. Since he used a lot of description-related adjectives and phrases, the imagery the novel portrayed was more vivid than any other novels.
