Charles ogre is best known as a writer of novels, many of which ar read today and regularly used in stage productions, on television and in the cinema. He was also a journalist, he used his stories to get across what he felt were important messages.Although he tried to get his message across he wanted his defecate to be entertaining. In so doing, he created some of the most well remembered characters of English literature, such as Mr Pickwick, Oliver Twist and Ebenezer Scrooge. Dickens wrote about Victorian life and particularly Victorian life in London.Dickens campaigned for things he believed in like the welfare and education of children. He addressed the commonplace in public speakings and through his writings.Great ExpectationsChapter oneAt the start of Great Expectations Charles Dickens introduces us to a son called fritter away. This name is explained in the novels very first sentence and stated that this is the name he is commonly called by in the second.My perplexs fam ily name being Pirrip and my Christian name Philip, my infant spiel could make both names nonhing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.Pip goes onto explain that he never saw his mother or buzz off and so the earreach straight away feels very sorry for this young boy. As I never saw my father or my mother,The setting in the first chapter is a graveyard with Pip looking at his father and mothers tombstones. Pip must be sort of imaginative as he uses the cultivate of the letters on his fathers tombstone to create a mental picture of what he and his mother was like. The shape of the letters on my fathers, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, Acherontic man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, Also Georgina Wife of the Above , I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly.We go on to learn that he also had basketball team brothers that must of all died at an earl y age.To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the storage of five little brothers of tap-who gave up trying to get a living exceedingly early in that universal struggleThroughout this novel the narrator is a young Pip and this is to make the proofreader feel empathy for the character for the whole of the novel. It also means there is a childish view on things and a lack of experienceing. For example in the graveyard he cant really understand why his father, mother and five brothers were dead and he was still alive. Although the reader feels sad because of this Pip is not that sad as he cant understand the situation fully.When the focus switches to the scenery and Pip starts to describe the performyard and its view. Pip begins to cry and almost out of nowhere Hold your noise Cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at he side of the church porch. Keep still , you little devil, or Ill cut your throatThis is the introduction of Magwitch an escaped convict from a nearby jail. In Charles Dickens days capital punishment was enforced in the United nation and conditions in jails were very poor an so Magwitch would have been n a terrible condition. First impressions of Magwitch are that he is an evil man for the obvious reason of him being a convict. He has no savvy for others.A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great urge on his leg. The iron is the giveaway that he is an escaped convict. The iron is like a clamp that will have perchance been connected to a ball and chain.A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, with an old rag buttoned round his head. This shows the terrible condition that he is in.A man who had been soaked in water, and smothered in mud and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and stung by nettles, and torn by briars who limped, and shivered, and glared and growled and those teeth chattered in his head as he seiz ed me by the chin.These things are what make me think he has escaped.Magwitch is also quite a violent man, Pip is only a young boy and he feels it necessary to enamour him by the throat and threaten him. He bullies a young child into getting things for him.After in darkness looking at his leg and at me several times, he came closer to my tombstone, took me both arms, tilted me rear end as far as he could hold me so that his eyes looked most powerfully into mine, and mine looked most helplessly up into his.You know what a file is?And you know what wittles is?
