photo post


I couldn't decide which of these two pictures to choose for my favorite part of the book so far, when pip is leaving and he is regretting his decision to leave his life behind. They capture the idea in different ways, the carriage is showing that he is moving forward and the skeleton with the human shadow because he is looking back at what he had. I decided that even though we were only supposed to put one picture up I'd put two to tie the views of the same moment together. The moment being a point where pip shows us once again that he isn't a jerk all the time but only most of the time, by feeling genuine emotion and showing it through crying and his thoughts of getting out of the vehicle and walking back to his family. I think he feels the worst about not having Joe walk with him to leave. Even though in the moment he seamed very confident he was just overcompensating for the extreme feelings of separation he is going to have later.
