=Welcome to The Great Expectations of The Great Period E Class=

"She was dressed in rich materials - satins, and lace, and silks - all of white. Her shoes were white. And she had a long white vail dependent from her hair, and she had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white." (56) Mary Usher. I chose this quote because my topic was clothing and this description helped me picture Mrs. Havisham's clothing.

"At that time, jails were much neglected, and the period of exaggerated reaction censequent on all public wrong-doing – and which is always its heaviest and longest punishment – was still far off." (257) Frankie Morin, and this quote describes prisons in Great Expectations.

"By the light of the torches, we saw the black Hulk lying out a little way from the mud of the shore, like a wicked Noah's ark." (40) Katie Piner. This quote describes the prion Hulk in //Great Expectations.//

"...Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape." -Jasmin Elhindi. I chose this quote because i liked the message it sent and the meaning of it. :)

"Take nothing on its looks; take everything on its evidence. There's no better rule." -Fiona Rowan. I decided on this quote of Mr. Jaggers from Great Expectations because I like its message: you can't take everything for granted, and you must question everything.

"You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then." (page 360) - Lauren Athans - I chose this passage because I like the meaning and how Pip describes his love for Estella.

"Pip, dear old chap, life is made of ever so many parting welded together, as I may say, and one man's a blacksmith...and must be met as they come." Jiho Park, and this quotation describes the difference between social classes.

"We were at a loss to find a suitable attendant for her, until a circumstance happened conveniently to relieve us. Mr. Wopsle's great-aunt conquered a confirmed habit of living into which she had fallen, and Biddy became a part of our establishment." Jack Marlowe - I find this part funny. Dickens uses a lot of humor in this story and this is a good example of it.

"In a word, I as too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I know to be wrong." Amira Taha - I like this quote because it shows what was going on in Pip's head when he was a little boy.

" I believe that in Great Expectations everything happens for a reason which leads a door to another idea" Omar Chaouh- I chose this idea because in Great expectations everything is tied together.

"She concluded by throwing me-- I often served her as a connubial missile--- at Joe, who, glad to get hold of me on any terms, passed me on into the chimney and quietly fenced me up there with his great leg." Kayla Matkowski- I like this sentence at the beginning of the book because it shows how rude and degrading Mrs. Joe is towards Pip and how Mr. Joe is still there for Pip.
