Great Expectations: Skit Prep

1. I think that it would be good to do a skit of the scene where Orlick kidnaps Pip. This is an important part in the book that explains Orlick's feelings and that he killed Mrs. Joe. It would also be fun to watch because it is one of the only parts in the book with a little action behind it.
2. Another scene that would be important to act out is when Pip finds out Magwitch is his benefactor. Magwitch gives hints to Pip until he finally believes Magwitch is his secret benefactor. This scene is important because it marks a major turning point in Pip's life and expectations.
3. The final scene that I would enjoy watching is when Pip gets the money from the Weird Guy in the Bar. It would be funny to see people acting really strangely and overemphasizing the leg rubbing. This scene is also important to the story as we eventually find out that this was one of the first payments given to Pip by Mr. Abel Magwitch.
