Great Expectations. From pages 60-61 the history shows us that what they wore sort of reflected on what they were selling like when Pip describes the corduroys that the shop keeper is wearing to the seeds in one of his draws because he sells seeds it says about this " I hardly knew which was which". Also the shop people have longer hours of work they run from 7:00am to 8:00pm. What Pip also found strange is that all the shop owners used to look at each through there shop windows apart from the watch maker who is always getting on with his work because of all his customers he had. Also everyone's attitude towards children used to be so different back then you used to be able to hit them but now a days you can be put away in jail …show more content…
But when she is there he is all nice to Pip. He is also asking Pip to do sums all the time. When Pip escapes Pumblechook he is very pleased but still nervous that he might come back. Mr Pumblechook is shown as a greedy selfish person this is shown by him always eating. The language and the writer's techniques from pages 60-61 is quite complicated because he uses words like "peppercorny" which means spicy and "farinaceous" which means dusty (floury) these are not easily found in most dictionaries. Also he uses the description of Sati's house to get the atmosphere of whether Pip will go or not. The history from page 62 shows us that this was normally always dark in a house because there was little light, it only came from one or two candles. In Sati's house, Stella only had one candle and the room where Miss Havesham was there was only the fire, all the curtains were drawn so it must have been very, very dark. Your eyes would have …show more content…
The way beer is referred to is 'sour' this means that it is not drinkable because it is meant to be left and it is sour because Miss Haversham's heart is sour. In page 64 the society shows us that Pip is poor compared to the other people in the village, this is also reflected by his furniture, he doesn't have much and his house isn't always clean. The character is shown in page 64 as Pip is very shy and he is trying so hard not to displease Stella because he likes her. Pip tried to be more polite than shy when Stella met him at the door, but Stella just turned her nose up and said 'don't be ridiculous boy'. The way Stella says her first line on page 64 shows her rudeness which is 'go in'. The language on page 64 reflects Miss Haversham's wealth like the wax candles. Her environment does and doesn't reflect on her wealth. It does because it's big and lots of extras, it doesn't because the state the house is in for example bars over the windows, darkness and rats from the decaying food. The way the writer describes what Miss Haversham

somehow absorbed by Pip as Pip portrays a typical childlike quality in which he is easily influenced by those around him. Joe’s influence on Pip can come across as a positive outlook on Pip as well. Pip learns to respect others and their wishes as well as himself, but also not to retaliate and lower himself to someone else’s level if they provoked him to do so. “She says many hard things of you, yet you say nothing of hers to do. What do you think of her?

Pip’s attitude begins to change after he visits Miss Havisham’s for the first time. This of course is where Pip first meets Estella, his love interest throughout the remainder of the novel. Pip begins to no longer feel proud of where he comes from but instead shameful. Pip decides that he wants to become a gentleman.
Charles Dickens utilizes his life for inspiration for the protagonist Pip in his novel Great Expectations. They both struggle with their social standing. Dickens loved plays and theatre and therefore incorporated them into Pip’s life. Dickens died happy in the middle class and Pip died happy in the middle class. The connection Dickens makes with his life to Pip’s life is undeniable. If readers understand Dickens and his upbringing then readers can understand how and why he created Pip’s upbringing. Charles Dickens’ life, full of highs and lows, mirrors that of Pip’s life. Their lives began the same and ended the same. To understand the difficulty of Dickens’ childhood is to understand why his writing focuses on the English social structure. Dickens’ life revolved around social standing. He was born in the lower class but wasn’t miserable. After his father fell into tremendous debt he was forced into work at a young age. He had to work his way to a higher social standing. Because of Dicken’s constant fighting of class the English social structure is buried beneath the surface in nearly all of his writings. In Great Expectations Pip’s life mirrors Dickens’ in the start of low class and the rise to a comfortable life. Fortunately for Dickens, he does not fall again as Pip does. However, Pip and Dickens both end up in a stable social standing.
Factors such as institutional authority, people’s attitude change after the experiment, participants’ interaction with the experimenters or the confederates may play an important role in the results of Milgram’s experiment. People or even social psychologists can also be vulnerable to the situational factors and thus conform or obey.
In Bleak House, by Charles Dickens, Mr. Vholes is Richard Carstone’s legal advisor. Introduced to Richard by Mr. Skimpole, Vholes encourages and assists Richard as he attempts to unravel the mysteries of the Jarndyce and Jarndyce case in Chancery. Vholes, however, may not have the best intentions. Through descriptions of his gloomy physical appearance, suspicious actions, and unfortunate connections to English law, Dickens paints a vivid image of Mr. Vholes—a man who cannot be trusted. Vholes, therefore, is made up of multiple layers; as each layer peels away, the reader understands a little bit more of this secretive man. Surprisingly, Mr. Vholes is seen as more and more evil as readers journey to the center of his being.
Living in a world where much about a person’s character is measured by wealth, it has become increasingly important to maintain a separation between material characteristics and intangible moral values. Pip, in Dickens’ Great Expectations, must learn from his series of disappointments and realize the importance of self-reliance over acceptance to social norms. Through his unwavering faith in wealthy “ideals,” such as Miss Havisham and Estella, Pip develops both emotionally and morally, learning that surface appearances never reveal the truth in a person’s heart.
. . 'A'." This shows how we cave to conformity pressures, and there are multiple factors that encourage conformity in a group of people. Unanimity of the majority is a major factor. If everyone in a group agrees, that leads to extreme social pressure, however if even one person defects from the rest, then amount of social pressure drops drastically. This is the power of an ally. If one person is willing to challenge the group, they also encourage those who are unsure to also join the rebellion. If there are one or two people in a group, there is little pressure. However, when there are three people in a group, then the pressure dramatically increases. Self-esteem, unsurprisingly plays a large role in conforming in the Asch experiment. More conformity is present when the group has a high social status, too. Although the components that allow us to agree with others in a group are many, there will always be individuals who are independents. Despite the powerful pressures in their atmosphere, some can resist it, and stand their ground, even when the group gives a correct answer, and they give the wrong

Pip’s first and only love is Estella. Estella is very mean and nasty to Pip. Although he receives verbal abuse from Estella, he continues to like her and will not stop liking her, he sees the good inside of her and will not stop until the good comes out. In contrast to her treatment of Pip as a child when she had called him a common laboratory boy with coarse hands and thick boots, she tries to explain to him that emotion is something that she is incapable of feeling. The fact of that is evidence of his illusion, not her cruelty.
