"Great Expectations" is about a boy named Pip who is in search of finding his great expectation. In this time, during the Industrial Revolution, it is hard for a boy with his status in society to get very far in life. Being that his parents are dead, and having an abussive sister that raises him up by hand, life for Pip isn't very "peachie". The only good thing he has is Mr. Joe, his sister's husband. They get along great, being good friends, but Pip still isn't happy.
So, in the next few blogs, you, dear reader, will go through and witness events in Philip Pirrip's life, seeing how he reaches his "Great Expectation".
In my opinion, I think we could all relate to this book in some ways. By this, I mean we all have great expectations for ourselves, such as being a doctor or the next President one day. Of course we're not living in time like Pip, but we all want our dreams to come true, no matter how much hard work we put into it, just like Pip.
