Skit

1.The first part of the book I would like to see preformed is when Pip meets Mrs. Havisham. Pip walks into the room full of clock with her sitting there alone in her old wedding dress. It would be good to see because its a little comical, and Mrs. Havisham seems overly dramatic.
2.The second part I would like to see is when Mrs. Havishams hair catches on fire and Pip tried to save her. This would be funny to see in class, watching someone freak out while on fire.
3. And the last one is dinner at Jaggers house with All of Pips friends, (Drummie, Herbert, Startop, etc...) This would be good to see because each acter would have to act out their version of big characters. Also it can include a lot of people in one skit.

“Pip, dear old chap, life is made of ever so many partings welded together, as I may say, and one man’s a blacksmith, and one’s a whitesmith, and one’s a goldsmith, and one’s a coppersmith. Diwisions among such must come, and must be met as they come.”(223) Joe says this to Pip after their uncomfortable meeting in London at the end of Chapter 27. I don't quite understand what this was meant to mean. Also, mentioning blacksmith's, whitesmith's, goldsmith's, and coppersmith's didn't quite make sence to me. I was wondering if it was saying how he didn't mean for their meeting in London to be akward, and then add a goodbye. So my question is, what does Joe mean by say this to Pip?
