We addressed study guide questions for chapters 21-25 first focusing on locating examples of imagery and metaphor in Pip's first impressions of London which Matthew incorporated into his homework answers. I then discussed Matthew's research paper that will be tied to the novel. As Matthew has elected to research the Victorian class system, I addressed the many areas in these chapters that exemplify Dickens' criticism of the rigid Victorian class system. Specifically, I examined the character of Bentley Drummle , a future baron, who is arrogant, selfish and dumb. He contrasts starkly with Joe Gargary who is a lower class blacksmith but who is honest, authentic and compassionate. In this regard, we studied that due to Pip's new found wealth, he is no longer expected to work at a profession but to be educated so as to be able to fit into upper class society. During our second session, Matthew completed a written comprehension and analysis exercise on Chapters. 27-29. He did well interpreting the metaphorical quote from the novel which addressed the role of social class and values .HW r chapters 30-32/study guide
