The story starts off with the background of Pip living with his older sister, Mrs. Joe, and her husband, Joe Gargery. Pip is sitting in the cemetery when he suddenly hears threatening remarks made toward him. He finds out that he is an escaped criminal, so he listens to what he says in order to be safe. The guy tells Pip to bring him food and some files. So he goes back to the house and secretly takes some food and brings it back to the criminal.
By applying my lecture notes, I researched about Charles Dickens' life to see if I could make any connections to the book. I found out that CD's father was in prison for having a lot of debt. So the name of the book meant that someone died and left you inheritance hence the Great Expectations.
