So far, all I know is what Dr. Preston lectured us on yesterday. It was interesting and I liked how the story evolved and showed Pip making decisions based on who he wanted to be, not just to achieve success. But then maybe the way he chooses will lead him to success but not in the way society coins it. He might choose Joe's way, a loving and kind life that isn't based on monetary gains to create happiness. I can't imagine he would choose Jaggers' way of life after he saw how dull it would be once he learned of the way both men treated the mother and her child.
Thinking about that, I hope my life is more like Joe's. First of all I like the name Joe, it seems like a trustworthy name, that Joe in the book upholds. Second, I 'd like to be a person people can turn to in a time of need. Sometimes I am in a situation where I wish I could turn to someone but I don't always have someone who I feel comfortable talking to. However, I always want to be there for someone to cling on to when times are rough and confusing. I feel like that is how the mother felt when she reached out to Joe and I hope to react like him.
