Reading The Characters...

I am not a very strong reader at all, and find it so much easier to understand things when i can visualise it. So to get a better understanding of Charles Dickens 'Great Expectations' I chose to watch the film myself. This helped hugely with being able to connect with the characters involved and understand their meanings. 

This is Pip. 

He enters the film as a young orphan, living in the southest of England, Kent, with his sister and brother in law
