We first studied Joe as a static but simple and noble character who gives Pip some sound advice about the dangers of social climbing by immoral means. From there, we studied a metaphorical passage wherein the narrator looking back entreats the reader to choose a path of truth or irony rather than a path of gold , a false idol. I then provided instruction on how to draft a quote interpretation paragraph which we completed in class. Kaitlin offered some very interesting (if not very modern) ideas to our discussion about class ,wealth ,and moral values.
