Reports on the reader

These are some of your reports on our reader for the second term Great Expectations. They are quite good!

I am going to talk about one story: Pip’s story. It is a drama story. The story takes place in London, United Kingdom. The story happens in the 19th century.

The story is about a boy that wants to be a gentleman because he loves a lady called Estella. But he is poor and one day one person gives money to him.

The characters of the book are Pip, a poor and kind boy, Estella, Biddy, Miss Havisham, Joe, Bentley Drummle, Mr. Jaggers, Wemmick, Abel Magwitch and Herbert.

The vocabulary of the book was very easy for me but the story was a little boring.

My favourite character was Estella because she is a fine lady, but I like the other characters too.

In the book there are ten chapters and one story. The genre of the book is narrative. The story takes place in London in the 19th century. The story is about a man that is poor and he falls in love with a woman, but she doesn’t love him because he is poor. When he is rich he wants to marry her but she is in love with another man.

The characters in the story are Joe, Biddy, Pip, Estella, Miss Havisham, Mr. Drummle, etc. The relationships between the main characters are: friends, fathers, mothers, enemies and boyfriends.

I find the language of the book medium. I like the story because it is an interesting book. The character I liked is Joe, because he helps Pip though he behaves badly with Joe. The character I didn’t like is Estella, because she is very capricious and conceited and she has no heart.

In the book there is one story. It is a novel. The story happens in the marshes near the great River Thames. This story is about a boy. He has a sister and a brother-in-law. He is very poor but he has a benefactor, and he turns into a fine gentleman and he wants to marry a girl.

In the story there are ten characters. Pip hasn’t got mother or father. Estella is very beautiful, she hasn’t father or mother, so she lives with Miss Havisham. Biddy lives in the same village as Pip. Joe is a blacksmith, his wife is Pip’s sister, so he looks after Pip. Miss Havisham is an old lady, she hates men. Bentley Drummle is rich and handsome. Mr. Jaggers is a lawyer, he works for rich people. Wemmick helps Mr. Jaggers. Abel Magwitch is a prisoner. Herbert is Pip’s friend.

Bentley Drummle is rich and handsome. Mr. Jaggers is a lawyer, he works for rich people. Wemmick helps Mr. Jaggers. Herbert is a student, he is Pip’s friend. Abel Magwitch is a prisoner.

The book is interesting and I have learned vocabulary. My favourite character is Pip because he likes friendship. I don’t like Miss Havisham because she is a bad person.

By Lorena López Gómez

Great Expectations is a novel that happened in England a long time ago. It is about a blacksmith boy called Pip. He looks for a beautiful girl, Estella. He wants to marry her. But she doesn’t like him because he is poor. She remembers his dirty boots.

The characters are Pip (he hasn’t got father or mother, so she lives with her sister), Estella (she lives with Miss Havisham), Biddy (she lives in the same village as Pip), Miss Havisham (she hates men), Joe (Pip’s sister’s husband), Bentley Drummle (he is handsome and rich), Mr. Jaggers (he is a lawyer), Mr. Wemmick (he helps Mr. Jaggers), Abel Magwitch (he is a prisoner) and Herbert (he is Pip’s friend).

The book is very good because there are words explained at the end of the pages and you don’t know what the characters are going to do. I like Pip because he is a good person. I don’t like Miss Havisham because she is selfish.
