If I could pick one song that sums up exactly what Estella is like, it would probabaly be this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CPrzNr1b14
This song is so perfect to describe her because well, she's mean!
One line that sticks out would be the second verse, which says:
You, with your switching sides and your wildfire lies and your
humiliation, You, have pointed out my flaws again, as if I don't already see them.
I walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you, I just wanna feel okay again.
This relates to the pain Pip feels in that Estella is always making him feel awful about himself no matter what he does, such as when Estella points out his dirty hands and how he'll never be a gentleman.

I feel that Ms. Havisham expressed her sense of revenge against men in Estella. She raised her to take men's hearts and break them, just like the man who left her at the alter did to her. As soon as I found that out, this was the first song that came to my mind.

Pip is greatley like many other characters in literture. One such character is Frodo from Lord of the Rings. Pip is greatly influenced by the people around him and the society he is in. He is so influenced by Estella and Miss Hacisham that the Pip that was in the begging proud of Joe and becoming a blacksmih, becomes ashamed and humiliated. Frodo is greatly influenced by the ring and gollum during the story. Gollum gains histrust and causes Frodo to turn against Sam. The ring causes Frodo to try and kill Sam at one point, and almost got himkilled on multiple occasions. Also Pip is infatuated with Estella, even though he knows hw should give up. Pip knows that he will be harmed because of this infatuation but he can't help it. Frodo has a burning need for the Ring. He knows that it is evil and can do him great harm, and has been the reason for his troubles, yet he can't leet it go. He can't make himself get rid of it, no matter what he knows he should do. Pip also hrts some of the people who care about him the most, and that he loves the most. He hurts Joe and Biddy even though he doesn't originally intend for that to happen. Frodo does the same wih Sam, who is willing to give his life for Frodo. Frodo, like Pip, takes the people who love him for granted and they get hurt. Lastly, Pip mentions that he is getting what he wants but he feels more lone than he ever has. Frodo also has that feeling. He is getting what he wants but he is more alone than he has ever been in his entire life, even with people surrounding him. These two characters are so very similar, yet one is from England, and the other Middleearth.

http://www.halloweenishere.com/hhmaze.gif
I chose this picture because it goes with the concept of the Satis House and how it is almost symbolizes a maze and Pip's life. The house is symbolizing Ms. Havisham and her mood. She isn't happy so the house is gloomy and dark. The house also seems to be playing with Pip in the picture and in the story. Pip is constantly faced with choices and those choices will influence where his life will take him. If he wants to have a happy life, he has to make all of the right choices and make it out of the maze and get out of the game that Estella and Ms. Havisham are playing with him. The maze also shows that Pip’s life is going to have a bunch of twists and turns. This is shown in the book when Estella leads him to Ms. Havisham. Pip talks about how it isn’t a straight path and implies that there are many ways to get lost. Ms. Havisham always has someone lead him to her and someone lead him out. It shows that Pip is going to need help to get out of the maze and that he has to make all the right choices. The witch in the picture shows that Ms. Havisham is watching and that she can manipulate him.

.
Jagged
On edge
Ear splitting
I chose the word mighty because Mrs. Joe wears the pants in her marriage with Joe, she keeps up the house, she makes sure Pip gets everything he needs, and overall, basically runs the family. Rampage is a word that’s meaning is obvious, even though she wasn’t the nicest person all the time, I think she tried her best, and everybody gets stressed out sometimes, and going on rampage is Mrs. Joe’s way of dealing with it. Stressful means that when you around her you will probably get stressed with all of her demands. Jagged represents how I think truly deep down she is a nice, kind person, but her responsibilities and stresses gets to the best of her and that’s why her personality comes across as jagged. On edge is because of the accident, and even though we don’t see her in the book as much since Pip has moved to London; she appears to be on edge. Because of Mrs. Joe’s needs, Joe and Biddy must think of her demands and needs to be ear splitting because after the accident she can’t really do anything for herself.

In Great Expectations, the exclusive Miss Havisham is like the Pigeon Lady from the movie Home Alone 2. The Pigeon Lady is like Miss Havisham because they both fell in love, and then they both were used for other people’s purposes. Unlike Miss Havisham, the lady from Home Alone 2 shut out everyone who tried to have trust in her because she was afraid of falling in love again; she was afraid of having her trust broken. This is basically the situation that Miss Havisham is in; however, Miss Havisham still trusts some people, and keeps in contact with her family, even though that she knows they just want her money. Their situations are a little bit different than each other, but their reasons for not wanting to trust people as much as they did, or at all, is the same.

This is a song by Taylor Swift called "Mean".
It really describes how Estella always just brings down Pip with her words.
Here some of the lyrics:
"You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me,You, have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like I’m nothing. You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard calling me out when I’m wounded. You, pickin’ on the weaker man."...This describes how Estella's words cut Pip like knives and they always bring him down and make him feel ashamed.
"Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city"...Pip is going to be living in London and he's going to be a gentleman.
"You, have pointed out my flaws again, as if I don’t already see them. I walk with my head down, trying to block you out cause I’ll never impress you"...Estella always points out how common Pip is, and he already knows that, so it just makes him even more ashamed. Deep in his heart he kind of knows that he won't ever impress her, but he wants to keep trying.
"I bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold"...Miss Havisham is the one that is making her do these mean things to Pip.

Work life is contrary from my life at home.
Engaged in the caretaking of an "aged parent."
My dwelling place, you may call a "gothic castle."
My lifestyle, you may ponder.
I behave sarcastically, harshly, and cynically on the job to fulfill the expectations my boss holds for me.
Clerk of Jagger, I am.
Know and understand the concept of A Time for Everything, yes, I do.

I chose to use the words great expectations because the book revolves around Pip's unspoken expectations. Aside from the title of the book, Pip experiences expectations after being changed by Estella and believes that he must impress her by becoming a gentlemen.

Extra Credit
These are song lyrics from "Your Heart Is An Empty Room" by Death Cab For Cutie. This song represents how Estella is a cold-hearted, soulless girl.
Burn it down
Until the embers smoke on the ground
And start new when your heart is an empty room
With walls of the deepest blue
Home's face, how it ages when you're away
The spring blooms
Then you find the love that's true
But you don't know what now to do
Because the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago
And all you see
Is where else you could be
When you're at home
And out on the street
Are so many possibilities
To not be alone
Flames and smoke
Climbed out of every window
And disappeared
With everything that you held dear
But you shed not a single tear
For the things that you didn't need
Because you knew you were finally free
And all you see
Is where else you could be
When you're at home
And out on the street
Are so many possibilities
To not be alone
And all you see
Is where else you could be
When you're at home
And out on the street
Are so many possibilities
To not be alone
And there on the street
Are so many possibilities
To not be alone
"But you shed not a single tear
For the things that you didn't need"
represent the motif of the concept of home. Estella's personality reflects the meaning of her name, "star". Stars are distant and far away just like her feelings. Her physical presence remains but her consciousness. remains somewhere else.
"Flames and smoke
Climbed out of every window
And disappeared"
The coldness and emotionless feelings in the Satis house can be felt by looking at the house. Dickens uses detail description of the house and how dark and eerie it is. Flames and smoke represent the soulless emotions in the house just disappearing because the emotions are 'not' there. Both Estella and Miss Havisham have dismal attitudes.

This poem is about Pip and Biddy. After Pip realizes that he is rich, he gets cocky and tells Biddy that she's just jealous of Estella and his wealth. So this poeam talks about how wealth, though it was seem good, can ruin you.

This poem is about Pip and how he's kind of in a messed up place right now as hes still trying to figure out his new life and the expectations that come with it. I chose the word file because I feel like stealing the file was kind of what first introduced us to Pip's character

ReplyDeleteLife as Pip wishes his were, but
Only in his dreams.
Not what he imagined, and his
Dreams are coming to an end.
Once a beautiful fantasy,
Now the truth is clear.
