Question

Read this excerpt from a literary analysis essay:

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. No, because it does not adequately describe the characterization of Pip.

Explanation:

Great Expectations is a novel written by English author Charles Dickens. It is about Pip, who is an orphan, and his education through different stages. The novel is set in different places, such as Kent and London. Biddy is a former Pip's schoolmate.

In the excerpt, the quote is not very accurate. Even though readers can understand that Pip is upset about something, it is not strictly related to his pride and greed, but it could be something else. In that part of the novel, Pip has come back to see Joe and argues with Biddy about her attitude during that episode; so, this description does not describe the characterization of Pip.

Answer 2

A. No, because it does not adequately describe the characterization of Pip.
