Here are the three scenes that I would like to see get acted out in a skit:

1. When Pip goes to the graveyard and the convict first confronts him for food and the file. I think this would be good material because it would be interesting to see what people portray how the convict and Pip reacted in the situation.

2. When Pip gets in the fight with the large pale boy (Herbert) at the Satis House. This would be good material because it's a major part of the story and people could act it out creatively.

3. WHen the convict goes to Pip and Herbert's and frightens Pip and later tells Pip (in a way) that he is the secret benefactor. This would be good material because it is a major part of the book and it is one of my favorite parts of the book.

On page 347 there is a quote that says, "I went to Compeyson next night, same place, and Compeyson took me on to be his man and pardner". The question that I have is why would the convict tell Pip and Herbert about his past and Compeyson?

In Chapter 29 of Great Expectations there is a quote on page 241 that I don't understand.
The quote is " "Jaggers," interposed Miss Havisham, much to my relief, " leave my Pip alone, and go with him to your dinner." What I don't understand in the quote is why Miss Havisham calls Pip "my Pip".

I chose a picture of a bow tie as something that comes up in chapters 17-25. The bow tie represents being more formal and finally getting to become a gentleman which Pip wanted to become. He didnt want to be average so he became determined to move up in social class to not be as common.
