More Questions about Great Expectations

As with last week, write about something from this week's reading that you don't understand. Try to focus on plot and characters rather than merely confusing sentences this time. In this week's reading there are lots of small details and coincidences that reflect back on previous chapters. With having already read nearly 300 pages prior to this week, there are bound to be things you missed or didn't understand earlier which may impede your ability to understand things in chapters 36-44.

Describe a specific incident or character in this week's reading that you don't fully comprehend and ask a question to be answered by your classmates through comments. Make sure your question is clear and reference the chapter and page number so that your classmates can comment an appropriate answer in response.

Make sure that your question is significant to character development and plot. It can either be literal (something that can be answered by deciphering the text) or interpretive (related to motive of author or character.) You will be evaluated on the depth and thought you put into the question - show that you do understand most of what you read by the type of question you pose. Your questions should cover something from this week's reading: chapters 36-44.

Post and comment a response on a classmate's blog, including an attempt to answer the question, by Friday, March 19.
