Great Expectations

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is one of the few story's that depict Charles Dickens actual life he loved when he was growing up. He grew up as a young boy who fought poverty often. The story begins in England where a boy named Philip Pirrip (Pip) is described as a poor orphan boy, much like Charles Dickens childhood. Pip is looking at his parents gravestones in the graveyard when suddenly a man in chains grabs him and forces Pip to bring him food and something to cut through his chains. All of these thigs that happen in the beginning of this story make you think what kind of life Charles Dickens actually led. This makes you also think what parts of his life did he also include into his other novels because he lived such a different life that maybe there are other parts of his life he includes in his other great novels.
