i noticed that, in khianna’s response, she believes that douglass’s “hope” was the possibility of a better life. khianna points out that, not having the ties to home that a normal child would, douglass is excited to see whether he can find a better world in baltimore. like khianna, i also picked up on the sadness that is a part of douglass’s “hope.” even though he is excited to move to baltimore, he tells himself that, no matter what, it won’t be any worse than what he already has.

post your responses to the following questions. make sure you support your ideas with textual evidence.

as douglass reflects on his life, what does he think is the significance of the move to baltimore?

Explanation:

Charles Dickens' Great Expectations tells the story of a young orphan named Pip and his rise to being a gentleman. But more importantly, his childhood days, the education and knowledge that he learned along the way during his various encounters with different sorts of people and the theme of belonging, loss of innocence, and society are all dealt with in the story.

In the given excerpt from Chapter VIII of the text, the scene shows Pip's first encounter with Miss Havisham and also Estella. Pip admits he had never questioned his childhood until that day when after meeting with Miss Havisham, was led to the courtyard under the bright sunlight. As though everything hidden in the dark is illuminated by the sun, Pip also feels ashamed of his appearance and even regrets not being taught properly by Joe. He admits his shame in realizing his "coarse hands and my common boots" were seen by Miss Havisham, admits that "they had never troubled me before, but they troubled me now as vulgar appendages". He even expressed his "wish [that] Joe had been rather more genteely brought up, and then I should have been so too", which shows his feeling of inferiority in the face of Miss Havisham, or in general, in front of someone richer or 'classier' than them.
