Theme :)

The recurrence of the main themes throughout Great Expectations creates a different atmosphere where it’s not all about the plot. However; it also mirrors sometimes our own experiences.  The one that I picked out was "it’s not all about materialism" i.e. money, parties, etc. It’s about the people in our lives that ultimately matter the most.  How we live our lives is our choice, but we will always want more than what we have.  You could want the newest ipod touch, or to be the most popular person on Facebook; but what happens after that?  What I think about is countries around the world.  Here in America it’s all about I want...can I get?... and I got to have!.  Each one of us thinks more about our possession and ourselves than sometimes the people around us.  We are all very guilty, sadly to say.  However, in places like the third world countries, there are people who are less fortinute.  They stick together and try to service every day. ( I am not saying it doesn’t happen here to.  It was just an example.)  What they value the most is family.  Beside for their basic need of survival sometimes or in most cases they are happier with less than we are with more because they have each other!  Money can't buy you happiness; materials can't make you happy; but the people around you can!
