Great Expectations: First Stage

In the quote posted from the end of chapter 9, Pip is referring to his first day with Miss. Havisham and Estella. He is Also talking about a chain of memories. His chain started with this particular day. He says how these memories are special because they have changed or altered him in some way. This day altered Pip because it was his first up close encounter of the upper class. A place where the things he thought as something anyone would do like sit at the dinner table was seen as something common folk would do. He developed by coming to understand his surroundings and different kinds of places and people.

My memorable day or chain are the days when I have a realization. Some are big moments in the day or a small second out of it. For me it was a time when I learned something about life or myself. On those days I would start or add to my chain and try to change to fit those lessons. A person can have an altering day when they make the connection between something and themselves. Like how Pip saw the connection between classes and how they acted compared to each other. They are the days that make you think or instantly change your mood when you think of them.

The Importance of Being Earnest Group Essay

For my group essay we are doing dishonest. Our thesis is about how tolerance in different classes is different for the levels of dishonesty in the play. My first quote was when Algernon lies to his aunt about Lane not making her cucumber sandwiches. The second example is when Lane lies over Algernon's lie saying there were not any cucumbers at the market. The last one is when Algernon lies to his aunt about how he is bothered that there were no cucumbers when he in fact ate the sandwiches. For these three points I wrote about how they were white lies and how they were tolerated differently according to the different social classes. For both of Algernon's quotes I wrote how the lying was brushed off like it didn't happen. While when Lane lied he was yelled at by Algernon. I think my commentary works because it gives examples of the thesis.
