GreatExpectations was written by British writer Charles Dickens. The name of the hero is Pip, and the story begins with Pip meeting a fugitive in the churchyard of a small village. The fugitive, Abel Magwech, had just escaped from the prison boat. He was very hungry, so he forced Pip to bring him food. Pip felt very scared and gave the escaped prisoner food. No one expected that this fugitive had changed Pip's life. Pip fell in love with a girl from the upper class. Since then, he has been no longer at ease. He was ashamed to keep company with his partner - his sister's husband, his good friend, a blacksmith; There are other people in the village. When he knew that someone had offered him a large sum of money to receive higher education, Pip was very happy. He felt that he was finally worthy of that young lady. He left the village and his friends. He forgot the fugitive in his childhood and went to London to study. Later, when he found out that the large amount of money for his study was the money for the escaped prisoner to work hard after he broke out of prison again, his whole body trembled with disgust, and he regretted leaving his old good friend to associate with the escaped prisoner. A series of things happened later, so I won't go into details always want to compare with their friends around us. If they have money, we certainly want to have money. On the contrary, if they are poor, we don't care about being poor as well. This is probably human nature. We will not be ashamed of our own stupidity, but only because we are more stupid than our friends around us. It was because Pip felt ashamed after communicating with the upper class girls that he hated his friends who had been with him before. If we do not expect to have, we will not be frustrated by the loss. Since we did not expect to be rich, we will not be disappointed because of is the man who knows enough. The pursuit of material things has no end. At this time, we need to have a clear mind to recognize what we need and what we don't has heard of the British writer Dickens! He is a famous writer! I admire him very much, so I have read several of his books. Not long ago, I bought another copy of Great Expectations. After reading it, I felt very Expectations mainly tells that Pip, an orphan, was raised by his sister and brother-in-law and lived a poor but warm life. In order to win the love of beautiful and arrogant rich woman Estella, he decided to be a rich upper class gentleman. Coincidentally, one of the fugitives he once helped made a fortune, secretly aided him to study in London, and entered the upper class. Pip seemed to have a broad road ahead of him, and his "great future" was waiting for him. So he began to despise his family background and his relatives who lived in difficulty. After the refusal of courtship with Estella, the fugitive who funded him was arrested and all his property was confiscated. Pip was abandoned by the upper class again. He learned from his mistakes, reconsidered his life, and finally realized what a real life is. After many years, Pip returned to his hometown and gained his hard won affection and whole novel is true and profound, with dramatic ups and downs, and is full of appeal. Especially, I can't forget the flash of the "bright future", and the image of middle-aged Pip who has experienced a lot of coldness and warmth since then. I also learned a truth in life: When we achieve our goals in life, we must not be proud. Maybe one day, you will be like Pip, and your bright future will disappear., From Pip, I can see what kind of life is and what kind of future is the real "great future". Our life is the same, you must remember!
