PROBLEM: Misunderstanding of Great Expectations.
DETAILS: I am greatly confused with Pip and "his convict’s" relationship. The convict always is very hostile and says things like "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!" (Chapter 1, p.2) Then later in chapter three he questions him to make sure that he did not slip any word about his escape to the authorities. What I am trying to refer to is later when the troops are marching through the mash how does the convict not assume that he led the Sargent to find him? He was essentially with the attacking party that was coming after him. In chapter 5, p.36 Pip says, “I looked at him eagerly when he looked at me, and slightly moved my hands and shook my head. I had been waiting for him to see me that I might try to assure him of my innocence. It was not at all expressed to me that he even comprehended my intention, for he gave me a look that I did not understand, and it passed in a moment." If you could provide some explanation for this that would be great!
REWARD FOR EXPLANATION: Pride :)
PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ASAP!!!!
Thanks

Changes and Lots of Questions
Whats new:
So I made a pretty big jump in my paragraph. I changed it so that it was the development of white lies. In other words, I talked about how it went from showing that the characters were superficial and how those lies developed into being necessary for everyday life. (Plus the ideas you both game me about being un-recognizable and how everyone uses it in society.) Does that sound ok?
Questions: Ok, so I started to write my beginning thesis, but I was wondering.. 1. Do I need to include the title and the author because right before my paragraph it already says it? I didn't want to be repetitive, but I wasn't sure if it needed to be included. 2. When we say our quote how are we going to reference it to the book? For example: (Algernon, P.8) or just (P.8) 3. Is my topic to broad? I wasn't sure? Now that I read it I am not sure if it is ok or not? Last question :)
4. How do I make this commentary instead of plot summary? "Instead, lane does the same maneuver and comes up with his own excuse. No guilt is passed between the two, but the event is quickly forgotten and the subject forgotten and the subject never touched upon." I am talking the sandwiches and how there lies are un-noticed..
Thanks.. Sorry for all the questions :) See you Monday
