Great Expectations

“Great expectations” is one of Dicken’s most maturest works.After Dicken had experienced large part of meaningful life, he had a deeper cognition for people, environment, as well as the life which he had gone through.And all the mature cognitions are included in this writing---Great expectations.Pip was brought up by his sister who was unpleasant as well as crude and her friendly blacksmith husband—Joe.Joe himself had arranged a common hard but satisfied path for Pip to go through, and on the other hand, Pip beheld this as his highest goal to achieve.But the two things which he had experienced later had changed his pursue and his fate as well.Met Abel Magwith(an escaped convict)in the swamp, and unwillingly helped him out of danger by stealing food from his own home.If say that had changed his attitude for material life, then, his introduction to Miss Havisham, an aging woman who had been jilted at the alter and Estella who had been brought up by Havisham only to revenge for her own pain had brought vast shock for his world of spirit.Aspiring to be a gentleman despite his humble born, Pip fortunately or unfortunately received a fund of wealth from an unknown source and being sent to London with a lawyer.From then on, he became a gentleman without question at the price of losing everything.The title of this book is ‘Great expectations” which make an impression on us that the character would have great expectations just as the title goes.But in fact this title has a tone of sarcastic on the other way around.This story full of quirkiness from the very beginning to the end, the relations among characters are anfractuous as well which actually attracted me a lot.One of the paragraphs, which I appreciate most implicatively as well as beautifully expresses the feeling between Pip and Estella.“We are friends,” said I, rising and bending over her, as she rose from the bench.‘And will continue friends apart.” Said Estella.I took his hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place;and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first let the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.At the view of language, this works had achieved a step o f highest, Dicken had made this writing plain and fluent as well, which surely can attract lots of readers and high comments.To be frank, I really impressed by this art of beauty.So I like Dicken’s works very much.

Impression of the book“Great Expectations”

With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist, it is really a pretty hard job to choose one to read first.After much hesitation and deeply thought, I finally decided to borrow Great Expectations from the small library.Great Expectations is about love, family, and rejection as Pip and Miss Havisham have both been rejected in certain ways.Pip is a boy around 13 years old, easy to fright, and goes through his life suffering lots of sadness.He is in love with a girl named Estella and wants her to find his love, but for him being shy and not showing himself to her, it makes it very hard for him.Great Expectations was the penultimate novel completed by the most popular novelist of Victorian England, Charles Dickens.Born in Kent, England, in 1812 to a family of modest means but great pretensions, Dickens’s early life was marked by both humiliation and ambition.Dickens never forgot the period of financial crisis during his childhood, when following his father’s bankruptcy, he was taken out of school and forced to work in a shoepolish warehouse.Pip meets an escaped convict, Magwitch, and gives him food, in an encounter that is to haunt both their lives.When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishly abandons his friends for London society and his“great expectations”.I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read a brief introduction of this masterpiece in my high school English textbook before.In addition, a Tale of Two Cities which is also written by Charles Dickens, the outstanding and special English writer, left me a wonderful and deep impression, when I finished reading the marvelous story.Of course, Great Expectations didn’t let me down, either.What’s more, the whole structure of the novel is well and elaborately designed.The plot is extremely attractive and full of unexpected twists.Quite a few characters have a distinguishable personality.Moreover, those words and sentences are so beautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully in my notebook.By reading them no less than three times, I have learned not only some new phrases and sentences, but also a philosophy of life.Among the characters, which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella who should be regarded as the leading roles, but Joe and Magwitch.I feel awfully sorry that I was not brave enough to read the original edition that is as thick as a brick.Otherwise, I may appreciate Joe and Magwitch more.Yes, they are not the main characters in the novel.However, what they said and what they did deeply touched me.It’s interesting, isn’t it? They are quite the opposite guys.One is a totally good man without the least bit of wickedness while the other is a prisoner who is believed to have committed every evil.I believe that everyone who reads the book is to like Joe.When he talked about his heavy drinking father who hit him a lot, he said he had a lot of love.Faced with his rude wife, he would rather seem a bit weak or foolish than stand up to her and fight for himself.Knowing peacockish Pip was ashamed of his uneducated manners, he left sadly and quietly.The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness.But when he was informed of Pip’s illness, he immediately came to take good care of Pip.He is always contributing everything and requiring nothing.Such a man is Joe, kind, tolerant and selfless.“Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice,” says a wise author.However, why do I appreciate Magwitch, the bad guy? You may wonder.Indeed, Magwitch did a lot of evil things when he was young.But how can you be unmoved when you get to know that the old man kept himself going just by thinking of the boy who once did him a small favor？ He lost his only daughter and Pip had no parents, so he considered himself as the boy’s second father, making up his mind to help his dear boy became a gentleman.He did every kind of job and led a hard life in Australia.At last he made a big fortune and promised himself that all the money would go to Pip.He could have led a better life in Australia ,but Ihe chose to go back to London.with the simple intention of seeing Pip, he went back at the risk of being hanged!“whatever the fault he had from the start, remember, reader, he had a good heart.” Joe used these words to describe his father.But I think these words can better describe Magwitch.He lived with the fear of death all his life.Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut out from love.However, thankfully, because Pip finally realized his good heart, his ending was peaceful.Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this account of his life's experiences, and the entire story is understood to have been written as a retrospective, rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary or journal.Still, though Pip “knows” how all the events in the story will turn out, he uses only very subtle foreshadowing so that we learn of events only when the Pip in the story does.Pip does, however, use the perspective of the bitter lessons he's learned to comment acidly on various actions and attitudes in his earlier life.I know how to fully understand this novel, twice is far from enough.Pip, Estella, Miss Havisham, Biddy even Mr Wemmick, every single character has a story that is well worth my attention.I love this novel so much that I am determined to read the original edition one day.Believe me.But before that day comes, I will see the movie Great Expectations first.Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs.5

After reading the whole book of “Great Expectations” written by Charles Dickens, I can’t find suitable words to express my thoughts completely.First of all, I am attracted by the excellent literary talent of Charles Dickens.The descriptions of the details are just right for the foundation of the background.The design of the story also brings me shock.To me, it is not only a good story, but also a lesson of the life that I am experiencing.But, what I have learnt from the book is not the main idea that Charles Dickens wanted to show.What impresses me deeply is only a supporting role —Joe.Compared with the life of pip, what Joe has experienced is so ordinary.He is an ordinary blacksmith, an ordinary husband, an ordinary brother, an ordinary friend, even an ordinary person!However, just such an ordinary person brings me a great special feeling.In his world, life is so simple.He is far away from the complex world which is polluted by the ugly soul of people.May be, “kind-hearted” is the biggest advantage of him, which is also the biggest shortage of him in his daily life.Different from all the other figures in the book, Joe’s life is so simple and his thoughts also stay pure after he experiences whatever sufferings that life gives him.In my opinion, his childhood is miserable.What he has experienced must be unhappy and sorrowful.He grows up in such a family, meets so much violence（May be, in that period, it is common）。To say it exaggeratedly, there must be bad influences on his young heart.But, what he does surprises me one more time.He treats his sufferings in another way—to be sincere.I can’t really understand what he is thinking about, but I am deeply touched by his behavior.His tolerant with his wife—pip’s sister, his friendly affection with pip, even his sympathy with a prisoner that all express one thing — sincerity.He is the harbor of soul for pip.There is such a great difference between Joe and pip’s ambition.What he tells us is that to be simple is the key to your happy life.Optimism is another spirit in his soul.He never gives in to the difficulties that he meets.Maybe, in his dictionary of life, there is no word with the meaning of shrinking back.He never worries about his lower grade life ,but faces up to it.For example, he only can read ”J” and ”O” before, because he has no chance to study in his childhood.But finally, he sets his mind to study and can write letters by himself.Although Joe is a person with only a little knowledge, what he owns is far more precious than many learned men.His pure heart will bring him great expectations.What he teaches us is that never to be taken away your pure heart and optimistic attitude towards life.There will be nothing difficult or miserable when you treat them with a sincere heart.To be simple, what you will gain is far beyond your imagination and you will find that life is just a game which is always filled with happiness and bliss!

Reflection on Great Expectation

-----My Reading Report of Great Expectation

Class one

Student No.10

Name: Anna Wang

Great Expectation was written by Charles Dickens(1812-1870), one of the most popular writers of all the time, who created some of the best-known characters in English literature.Great Expectation is similar to David Copperfield in that it is the story of a boy growing up.Pip has lost his parents when he was fifteen years old.He was brought up by his sister and her husband--Joe Gargery, a blacksmith who takes Pip on as an apprentice, teaches him his trade and makes friends with him.One day before Christmas, when Pip went to the churchyard where his parents were buried, he met an escaping convict--Abel Magwitch.Pip brought cakes for the hungry man, which touched Abel deeply, although he was caught by police.After the Christmas, Pip was invited to play with Estella, a beautiful girl adopted by Miss Havisham.Miss Havisham was the richest man in the village.But she was very strange.She was dressed a bridal veil all the whole life after her fiancé left her at the wedding day, taking her a large amount of property.So she lived in the revenge and hated all the men.She treated Estella as a tool to take revenge on all man.When Pip met Estella, he loved her, so did Estella.But Estella knew she was just a tool to carry out the revenge plan of Miss Havisham, so she pretended to be proud, indifferent and look down upon Pip-a relative of a poor blacksmith, which broke Pip’s heart.As a consequence, Pip was determined to become a real gentleman who is in possession of money, good manners, luxurious life and a great expectation for Estella’s sake.Under the help of a stranger who donated a lot of money to him, Pip left Joe and the village, and went to London to live a luxurious life to learn to how to become a real gentleman.Pip started to waste money, look down upon other poor people, even including Joe, his brother-in-law and best friend!Gradually, Pip lost himself in the whirlpool of money, although he has had a large number of debts.As the same time, Estella has become more and more beautiful, graceful and brilliant.She walked in the crowd of men and married one of them as the Miss Havisham’s wish, which really tore Pip into pieces.And, as the same time, the mysterious benefactor of Pip came out.He is Abel-the escaping convict whom Pip has helped.When he escaped from the prison again, he earned much money and wanted to pay back Pip in that way.But Abel soon was caught by police and died.The properties he gave to Pip also were confiscated by police.Pip fell from the heaven to hell.He couldn’t stand it.As a result, he had a serious ill.After receiving a letter describing the bad situation of Pip, Joe came to London to look after Pip in spite of the bad attitude Pip ever towards him.After recovering, Pip realized his wrong.He decided to be a gentleman by his own endeavor.So he came back to the small village and spared no efforts to make business with his friend--Herbert.Several years later, Pip met Estella again at the old house of Miss Havisham.After knowing her husband has died and the real reason why Estella didn’t choose him before, Pip made a proposal to her.At last, the two lovers were in together and Pip found his real great expectation at the end.When I finished reading the novel, I also take consideration to the question “what a real great expectation is?” In my opinion, great expectation not means money, luxurious life provided by others, even the benefactors are your parents.It is our own dreams that we want to realize by our own efforts.Great expectation may be the further study, a respectable degree, a good job, a warm family or something else.But we must know that our future and great expectation must be mastered by our own.We should working for them, fighting for them, even dying for them, whatever.Only when we got what we want by our own endeavor, can we say we have had a great expectation.
