Book Review - Great Expectation


Pip's parents died when he was a baby. He was very poor when he was young. One day he met an escaped convict who was very hungry, and he stole some foods from his sister's house and delivered the food to the convict. He forgot all of this afterwards. At that time, he had no expectation at all when he stayed together with his sister who brought him up since their parents died. Until one day he went to visit Ms. Havinsham, a rich lady in the village, where he met a pretty girl named Estella who was very proud and looked down upon him. Ms. Havinsham was so nice to him that he anxiously expected he would get some of her fortune. The lucky day finally came to him when he received a message from the lawyer, Mr. Joggers, who imformed him that somebody had sponsored him to have a good education in London. He thought it was Ms. Havinsham who supported him to have the education because he had been expecting the fortune from her. But finally he realized it was the escaped convict who Pip gave food a long time ago. He also expected to marry Estella, but unfortunitely she married another stupid and rude guy.
