Great Expectations

Pip's experience at Ms. Havishams change his life. It was the first link. She changed his life by bringing Estella into Pip's life. Estella made him feel like crud for being who he was. It is not his fault that he is of lower class than her, but she sure makes him feel bad for it. It may have also given Pip reason to try to be of a higher class so that he can impress Estella to win her over. Also, even if Pip does not realize it, Ms. Havisham showed him that he has more than just Joe, Ms. Havisham cares about him. This day changed his life because he found an interest in Estella and he refuses to forget her. It is easy to understand that just one day can change your life forever.

The day that changed my life was when I started at Holy Family. I went in there with a lazy attitude. I didn't care about school at all. But as soon as I walked in the classroom door everyone was busy with work. Everyone cared. It made me feel pressured to care, as if it was weird not to care. Peer pressure won me over and from that day since I have been pressured to get good grades and do the best work I can.
