Original Aspiration

This book，Great Expectations， has profound significance and has been adapted into films, TV plays and stage plays for many times. It describes Pip's story of changing from poor to rich and poor, and shows the impact of the environment on people. At first, PIP lived with his sister and brother-in-law. As a blacksmith, Pip's family conditions were not good. But PIP was kind-hearted and even saved a escaped prisoner. Later, he met Miss. Havisham and began to despise everything around him, even his relatives. Later, because of the opportunity, he would go to London to inherit the property of his benefactor. And then he looked down on everything around him, and he became selfish and hypocritical. Although PIP returns to nature at last, we can find that money or environment has a great influence on people through Pip's changes. However, in sharp contrast with Pip, Joe shows his concern and love for PIP from the beginning to the end no matter when. Although the two words "great expectations" are ironic, for ourselves, in our future, no matter how we become, I hope that we could not forget our original heart, that we can keep our inner goodness and that we will not lose ourselves in the abyss of money.
