Great Expectations

Since visiting Miss Havisham, Pip felt bad about his 'common' life. Upon apprenticing to become a blacksmith, he wanted to be wealthy more and more. At one point when Pip was feeling down, Biddy discouraged Pip from despising his way of life. Pip's outlook on life seemed more optimistic. Soon after this, Pip was to have great expectations because an unknown person was to bestow wealth upon him. At this point in the story, I hoped that Pip would not accept the wealth because his 'common' life seemed enjoyable to him. But then I realized that if he declined the wealth, the book would not have been called Great Expectations.
