"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens

So basically what is happening in the beginning of the book, from what I have understood, has been that it takes place in England, and the main character of this book is a little boy named Pip. He is a very sweet, nice and humble boy who got to live a very sad life where basically all his family has died and the only one left to take care of him is his sister whom he lives with. The author describes Pip in a really sensitive way, he thinks of him as a vulnerable person who depends on other people in order for him to be someone in life. Reading through Charles Dickens descriptions of how Pip lived made me feel very appreciative of what I had at home. Pip lived very poor in a little town and never had anything that belonged to him. He was always very honest about everything he did, he never lied until he met a dirty scary looking guy in the churchyard in front of where his families tombstones were. He was very frightened so when the man told him to steal food for him, he did whatever he said. And this was the first time he had ever done such a thing.
