Great Expectations: The First Stage

When Pip says, "the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns and flowers, that would never have bound you" (70), he is talking about a certain day in his life that changed who he was as a human. This day was when Pip first went to Mrs. Havisham's. Pip never really went out from the house until he met Mrs. Havisham and Estella. Pip never really met with the upper class, and it was a first for him. This day was when Pips "chain" that bound him because in that day he realized he wanted to become a gentlemen rather than just a blacksmith.

I would have to say, the one day that changed me was when I was really little. I cant quite remember what age i was, but probably aboub 3-ish. The day was when I first got to sew with my grandma. She let me sit of her lap, and taught me all the basics to sewing. From then on, I always wanted to go to my grand,as house just to sew with her 24/7. Now that I am older, and i'm high school, I am taking textile design for one of my electives. Now, I am a very artistic person, ho is really into fashion and design. And i believe i owe that to my grandma, teaching me everything I know now.
