I read some chapters of the book. To be honestly, it didn`t bring me so much pleasure I expected. That is because there are a lot of difficult words, which I even couldn`t find in the dictionary. But , in spite of this, I understood the contents of these chapters. And at first I found out who are the characters.
The main character is a boy Philip Pirrip, who names himself Pip. He is an orphan. He never saw his parents. He can only imagine how were they, looking at their tombstones:.(The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, "Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly. )
Pip lives with his elder sister and her husband. She is not a good-looking woman. She is very strict with her brother , and by the way, with her husband as well. The latter is a like a friend for Philip. He differs much from his wife. Even Pip says that he doesn`t understand how could he marry his sister :(She was not a good-looking woman, my sister; and I had a general impression that she must have made Joe Gargery marry her by hand).
There appears one more character, already in the 1st chapter. This is a strange man whom Pip meets once in the graveyard. He is very fearful, with the iron on his leg. He looked like a wild man. Probably he is the criminal, who escaped .
So far this is all. Next I expect to find out more about the characters. Then I think that soon there will begin many actions, adventures. I haven`t read enough to understand what is this story about. Therefore this week I hope the reading will be more successfull!)
