Common Versus Uncommon

Last week ended with Pip having the startling revelation that he was common. Of course it was brought to light by the cold and heartless Estella. Ultimately, Pip finds that he is ashamed of his background, his upbringing, Joe and himself. So how can this be fixed?

In an effort to become less common, Pip is smart enough to know he needs an education. One that will be provided by a traditional school with some extra help from his friend, Biddy. While his classmates completely waste their school time, you'll see that Pip is going to buckle down and learn all he can. 

Then the question is this...why is he making this transformation? Is it for himself or for Estella?

Be on the look out for Vocab Quizzes this week! : -)
