HEY PIP

Well this is sort of an informal post for todays class period, I will add another post with some of the vocab words and the stuff I usually overlook when I get on the keyboard.

A few thoughts on Pip. Love him hate him, he is still Pip.... He must always keep the name Pip, and so he shall. Pip was fixated with upward mobility, aspiring to be great, to be a soft handed white collar gentleman. Pip was alone in the world, yes there were people near him but he was still alone. Estella, sweet Estella how Pip longed for her...

Here is a poem by Charles Bukowski I believe Pip could have benefited from its message.

Oh Yes
there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than too late.
