Great Expectations: Photo Post

This picture exhibits Pip's feelings of leaving home to become something better. As a child Pip wanted to become a blacksmith like Joe. However, as he is introduced to new people, a new idea sprouts in his mind. He begins to think of himself and those around him as poor. As this thought develops, Pip feels that he can do better. Even he can become a gentleman. The boy in this picture is similar to Pip as he looks out of his dark house and into a bright and prosperous future.
