Great Expectations

In the quote Pip is referring to the first day he went to visit Miss Havisham's house and met Estella. Estella altered Pip from a carefree young boy into someone that is self conscious about his social wealth and body appearance, making Pip ashamed of being poor with coarse hands and thick boots. Pip's character changed a lot after his first encounter with Estella as he became more and more ashamed of him, his family and his apprenticeship with Joe, even after being ridiculed by Estella Pip still manages to find feelings for her, Pip became more mature than he was in the beginning, not only physically but mentally as well.

This gave me a vivid memory of the times back in China, when i was in first grade. My first day at school I met this little boy in my class, and he was often bullied by other kids because his parents were poor, it was lunch and he brought some soggy Chinese buns that looked a few days over dated, when the kids saw that they went over to him and started talking trash towards him, it got so bad that a fat boy grabbed the buns and stepped on it and made him eat it, he didn't to but they forced him, and the teachers just stood there watching as it wasn't their 'business'. When the kids finally walked away feeling accomplished I went over to the kid and shared my lunch with him, we became best friends throughout that year, and he often came over to play with me because his dad did business with my dad.

MY PARAGRAPH

However, dishonesty, no matter how small or how big it is still hidden deep inside the dark side of everyone's hearts. During the play all of the characters each had their little secrets that they lied to others only for their personal gain or for the reasons that they thought fit, the lies were small, so small it didn't seem of much importance, for instance, Algernon was able to deceive not only Jack but Lady Bracknell as well when he told Jack "Please don't touch the cucumber sandwiches. They are ordered specially for Aunt Augusta" (30) only to keep the sandwiches for himself, and when Lady Bracknell arrived Algernon was able to shift the cucumber sandwiches to Lane saying "There were no cucumbers in the market" (38)when all along the sandwiches were eaten by him alone. But Algernon isn't the only one having fun lying, instead all the characters each have their own little black book. Jack for one, he despised the idea of Algernon having interest in Cecily and his response was "Well if you want to know, Cecily happens to be my Aunt" (32) and he continues "Yes. Charming old lady she is too. lives at Tunbridge Wells" (32) it seems like a tiny lie, which it is, but he only told that because he thought it was better off with Algernon not knowing Cecily. And how can we forget little Cecily, I mean she is only 18 right? Well that is her age at home, and at clubs she is 21, she has everyone fooled only to seem more mature for her own gains of fitting in with others that are older, but that is not all, she even uses fake letters from Earnest to fake their love ever since she found out about Earnest.
Though the lies are simple, they still hold a much larger role in the play, as all the characters each lie and deceive each other.


That might be my paragraph, im gonna edit it abit at home tonight

For my transition sent i am going to say " However, dishonesty, no matter how big or small it is still hidden within the dark sides of everyone"
i am going to use more than three concrete details in my paragraph, but these three i am certain i will include, the first one is when Lady Bracknell was going over to see Algernon he told Jack he couldn't eat any of the sandwiches because they were made for Lady Bracknell, but instead he ate them all.
The second transition is when Jack tries to trick Algernon to think that Cecily was his aunt so that he wouldn't be interested.
and finally the third transition will be when Algernon uses the "Bunbury" excuse to try to get out of going out with Lady Bracknell with her friends

Do you think I should change the Transition sentence, i am not sure yet still cause im still trying to make a new one
