We first reviewed Kaitlin's exam from yesterday and her study guide homework. I addressed how to modify her homework responses to better conform to the novel's plot. We then studied Dickens' social criticism of the education system available to the lower classes, and Dickens' caricature of middle/upper class conventions that serve no discernible purposes other than ostentation. We looked at various narrative techniques where Pip the narrator interposes his mature perspective on his early years and discussed how the novel's structure helps provide a foundation to analyze Pip's character development as the narrator clearly knows how his story ends and can highlight where and how his path diverted his original values.
