A book to read is Great Expectations. I read this book during summer school and actually enjoyed it. The book was written by Charles Dickens and tells an interesting story of child that has a great desire to be part of the upper class. His name is Pip and he is an Orphan that lives with his sister and her husband. His sister is scary and feared even by her husband, who is a strong man but quiet. One day Pip is confronted by an escaped convict who asked Pip to bring him food. Pip is terrified but brings the food and later the prisoner is found and Pip was questioned of taking part of assisting his escape, but the criminal rejects the theory. Later Pip is starting to train to become Joe Gargery’s apprentice (his brother in law) to become a blacksmith. At first he is very excited to become a blacksmith and work with Joe Gargery, until he gets an unexpected visitor.
His Uncle comes to the house one day and tells Pip’s guardians that Miss Havisham needs someone to play with his granddaughter, who is very cold to Pip as instructed by Miss Havisham. Pip believes that he is being taken into consideration to be Estelle’s (the granddaughter) husband. I forgot to mention that Miss Havisham is the wealthiest women in the town.
After that he stops going to the house to see Estelle and some lawyer goes to his house to tell him that he has inherited a large sum of money and that to receive the money he needs to leave with him to begin his training as a gentlemen. His dream seems to have come true but is the money from Miss Havisham or from someone else? Is he to be married to Estelle? Who else could have given him the money? Read the book it’s good.
