Great Expectations Photo

The picture that I chose for chapters 17-22 is a waterfall, and it symbolizes two things. One, it shows how Pip just lets his emotions pour out on Biddy, like water pouring over a cliff. He doesn't stop for anything, and lets Biddy know all his feelings, and in the same way the waterfall doesn't stop falling. (until it hits the water below). Another thing the waterfall symbolizes is Miss Havisham's life. She starts off really well, being an heiress with a ton of money and about to be married, but then she just falls and falls... eventually she just hit the water below and became stagnant, having the clocks stopped and nothing in the house changing.

  1. Very nice... nice picture! I love waterfalls. Once we went to Tumwater Falls and it had been raing a lot. So it was splashing up onto the sidewalk.
