Great Expectations pg 292, Nov. 29th

In this reading Pip is asking Mr. Jaggers who his sponsor is. Mr. Jaggers will not and does not tell Pip who it is. I suspected it was Miss Havisham, but I was wrong again. It turns out to be the convict that Pip had helped in the marshes. The convict says that whoever helps him shall become rich. What if the whole world lived by that? We would be in a lot better shape than we are now. When the convict told Pip it was him he did not believe him and frankly I did not believe hime either. I was, once again, wrong. The convict was telling the truth. He had done a very surprisingly and non- greedy thing at this point in the book. I believe that this marks a major turning point in our readings and I think and hope that this will change the way Pip thinks of money and uses it more wisely and also that he will use it not just for him but for other people’s benefits. I think it rather strange that towards the end of this reading Pip thinks of Estella and how much different it will soon be with her. He almost seems to be obsessing over her and what she will do next. Pip seems to make Estella a very large part in his life. It seems to be believable that Estella is making Pip's mind very stressful and overcome with thought of her. She causes so much pain and stress for Pip and she does not seem to care at all. He thinks of her all the time like a puppy - waiting - for- its- owner - to -come -back - from - the store.
