At first, I didn't know which classic book to read so I went to Alejandra. She brought a couple of books and I decided to pick Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. The reason I chose this book was because as Alejandra was talking about it and telling me an overview of the book, she was very excited. She said it is her all-time favorite book and that she thinks everyone should read it at some point in their life. As she talked about it, it made me very interested in it and I decided to borrow it from her and read it.
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens is "considered by many to be Dickens' finest novel..." It is a story about an orphan called Pip. Pip lives with his sister and her husband, Pip's sister is very mean to him causing him to have a quite miserable life. Pip has a desire to become a gentlemen. He is asked to be a tutor for a very rich child. He has great expectations to be a wealthy and well-educated man, but usually great expectations lead to disappointment. This is a book that I am very excited to read because it seems like a great book because I consider myself having great expectations for myself sometimes.
