Great Expectations 2

Great Expectations. A book about the boy called Pip. In this week's reading, he was to become Joe's, his sister's husband, apprentice in becoming a blacksmith. One day, however, at a bar, he meets the supposed to be executed prisoner. However, the prisoner gives Pip 2 pounds. And Pip began to struggle about getting the money, where the prisoner might have gotten them from... Another day at Ms. Havisham's, when his day there was almost over, he meets a young man, near his age who asks Pip to fight with him. Pip manages to beat him up, but doesn't feel good here either. From these episodes Pip has, I think he's very conscious(?), because he feels a kind of pressure after doing bad deeds.

2nd Book; "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens

As we do have to read every week, I took the opportunity to read a lot of the books I need to read, but haven't read. And a lot of them being classical literature, I began to read Charles Dickens. This story, I think has more story and plot to it than "A Tale of Two Cities" does. It's about a boy named Pip. I think some people may be able to relate to him as he does in the beginning of the story, sometimes when he steals food, lies, or sometimes even feel inferior to Estella in the story. But, as I have just started this book, I can see more will come as I go forward into the story

2nd Edition of InkBlotz!

This week, I forgot to lend a book from the library;;; so I will be reviewing(?) the 2nd Edition of InkBlotz! The 1st Edition was quite good from what I thought. Last edition was focusing more on negative and gloomy parts, thus sin, but this edition is showing, I think, more of a cheerful choice of topics. And a religious view to God, on how to live, although there were a bit more of the last edition's topic. But once again, I like the way how the writers expressed the way they write about their topics and how some of the stories are easily understood because they relate to us.
