Chapter 9 Quote Response

          On this day Pip had his first visit to Miss Havisham's house. He met this odd character, along with Estella. Estella criticized him and made him ashamed of where he came from. I think that this day bound him to what he wanted his future to be like. He had new ideas on life and wanted to be more than just the twon blacksmith. In a way, going to see Miss Havisham was a negative thing for Pip, whether he knew it or not. This was the turning point for Pip growing up. He is no longer innocent and oblivios because he has seen better things than what he has. His sweet manner is becoming more mature and it makes you lose love for Pip. Early in the story Pip wrote Joe loving letters on how excited he was to be apprenticed to him, now Pip wants to be a scholar and wants nothing to do with Joe. Pip took a turn for the worse in this chapter.
          The day I was rejected my friend who was 3 years older than me in 3rd grade definietly changed me. He didn't want to talk to me at school and said we could only play at home. This hurt me and made me want to be "cooler". I changed how I looked at things that day and loss my innocence. I think Pip is going through the same thing.
