Third novel response

After the incident with the mysterious man in the bar the book has began to pick up and get more interesting. Pip stops going to visit Miss Havisham and she pays for Pip's apprenticeship with Joe. After a while without visiting Miss Havisham, Pip decides he wants to go visit (mostly for Estella) and asks Joe for a holiday from the forge. A problem with the other worker under Joe named Orlick aroused because he wanted a holiday too. He and Joe ended up getting in a fist fight because Orlick began quarreling with Mrs. Joe as well.

Pip and Orlick both got their holidays and Pip went to Miss Havisham's only to find out that Estella was sent away to become educated. She was rude to him and sent him away very quickly. As Pip and Mr. Wopsle were entering town, Orlick caught up with them and walked home with them, much to their dislike. Upon arriving at the house, Pip found lots of people in the house and his sister had been terribly attacked. Someone had entered and whacked her in the back of the head with a hammer. This left her kind of mentally challenged and she was never the same.

Later is where everything starts to fall together. Biddy comes to stay with Pip and Joe to help do what Mrs. Joe could not do. A man named Mr. Jaggers came to speak with Pip and Joe because Pip had "great expectations" and had come into great fortune. Mr. Jaggers told Pip that he was to learn to become a gentleman. One condition was that upon acceptance of the fortune, Pip was to keep his name and was not to try to seek out his benefactor. Pip agreed. At this point I was still unsure if his benefactor was the convict or Miss Havisham. Pip got new clothes and left to London. Some time later, Pip received a letter requesting his presence at the funeral of his sister.
Pip went home and attended her funeral. Biddy told him his sister's last words being "Joe" then pausing, then "Pardon" then "Pip", and laying her head on Joe' shoulder and passing away.

The point where I stopped to write my next response was where the convict came to Pip's place of residence at the age of twenty three and told Pip "Yes, Pip, dear boy, I' made a gentleman on you! It's me wot has done it!" So after all of this time of Pip believing that Miss Havisham was his benefactor so that he may become a gentleman to be with Estelle, it was after all the convict that he helped in the marshes those many years ago. Pip has bad feelings about who his benefactor is and in a sense kind of freaks out. He thought all this time that Miss Havisham was doing this so that she could set him up with Estella. I feel bad for Pip because he has had such a painful life when he really did not deserve it. He wanted to be e gentleman so badly and now he is suffering because he feels bad for accepting a convicts money.
