My personal homage to the world of literature and the effects it has had on my life. I have a passion and obsession with British Literature, among other genres. My first dose of British Literature occured during my trip to the United Kingdom while I was in junior high. That trip and that book, Pride and Prejudice, guided my decision to become an English teacher. I want to use this space as book reviews and how I may/may not use them in the classroom.

Great Expectations
Not the ending I was expecting. The end of the book gets really confusing and has a lot of stuff going on in different directions. I was curious through the whole book who the benefactor would be and was surprised by who it ended up being. I think Pip was an interesting character. Overview this is an interesting website to go along with reading the book.

I found this website and it was helpful. It has the book Great Expectations broken down into about 1 page summaries per chapter. Thought it was helpful.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit confused with the end as well. It was kinda crazy. But then If I recall Tale of Two Cities correctly that ending was a bit crazy as well. It's like Dickens creates immense numbers of characters and then has to give them all an ending.
