The character, Pip, in Great Expectations was very lovable when he was younger. He was more interesting when he was naive and childish; we liked Pip because we could relate to his feelings more than we can now. He is older and making decisions that he is not completely liking afterward. As we read the book we see him getting older and having relationships with different types of people like Wemmick. I compared Pip to a flower because he was a daisy in spring, healthy and full. As time goes on flower petals fall off, the events happening to Pip makes indecisive. The flower cannot restore it's petal in one day, the daisy will come back in spring and repeat the process. Pip is loosing all his petals, he isn't becoming his true self. In chapter 40 he learns that his benefactor is someone who was even lower class than he originally was. Pip is learning the true facts about people and society and is uncovering the lies. When pip becomes happy again with his life, he will bloom next spring once more.
Pretty good Giselle. Mi gusta your daisy metephor. it brought me great happiness. But it also made me sad that he was losing his ptals. But also hopeful for spring.
