Month: September 2016

The burnt smell of those who didn’t make it out takes over the air and makes you unable to breathe,the eternal smell of bodies rots away, none to be touched or moved.The loud explosions rings the ears of those nearby. The hundreds of people who shriek and weep unaware of what has happened, the loud sound of jets passes by, once again rings the ears of hundreds. The dark storm begins to take over the sky ,the  louder cry now more than ever.  The smell of petrol rips through the nostrils of those nearby. It was a cloudy, wet day expressed on the faces of those affected. Shocked and unable to put any words or phrases together to match what just occurred. Those who luckily made it out running to safety in the wake of another attack, the smell of the dead even stronger now, the path to safety all destroyed and filled with smoke.  The  vehicles that surround are ferociously on fire, limiting the oxygen in the air and replacing it with the toxic smoke.The loud bullets blister the area, leading to a rain of bullets to occur leaving you without help or any form of safety. The smell of tires hits you quicker than a bullet. You try running away but the safe way out is all destroyed, leaving no trace of the demolished road. How would you feel if you were in the position of those affected? BOOM, BOOM, shouting ensues, bullets are flying, you’re still unclear of what’s going on, but to your thankful aid , the UÇK fought back and to your amazement overpowered the serbian paratroopers. The scenery slightly starts to improve, you’re able to acknowledge what has happened and are beginning to see it all change. The weather is moving from a sad stormy day to a nice happy day. The crying and weeping stops. You now see a drastic change in your surroundings, the buildings are beginning to rebuild themselves, the destroyed tarmac is stating to be put back together. Instead of a burnt tire smell in the air it is replaced by a sweet smelling sensation. The heat scorching onto you, this time not from flamethrowers or recently fire klashnikovs, but from the sun as if summer was nearby. You try running but there is nothing to run away from, no tanks, no soldiers,nothing.You no longer see a path to safety, safety is all around you. The sound of bullets being fired and tank shells being fired is removed and replaced by the sound of kids playing the in the park, the people  talking on their phones, everyone seems happy, the local pizza shop’s open 24/7, you can see that it has become more revolutionized. The atrocities of war are for shadowed by the joy and happiness from the people. You see the sun appear, making it even warmer, it seems like a good day you think to yourself, it seems like all the people around have forgotten about the past and have decided to just move on and get on with their lives.

Although a safe haven for the victims was highly unlikely, their still was a fighting force for the Albanians. The Kosovan Liberation Army ( Ushtria Clirimtare e Kosoves) were a highly trained number of freedom fighters, fighting for the rights and freedom for the Ethnic Albanians living in the Republic Of Kosovo, unfortunately the Serbs didn’t agree and Serbian Prime Minister Slobodan Milosevic believed it was right to ethnically cleanse Kosovo of the 90% Albanians currently living there.

Chapter 50

The chapter begins with Pip dressing the wounds from the fire on his arm. He proceeds to meet up with Herbert but the two don’t mention anything about the boat they brought for Provis. The two talk about Magwitch and how he was staying with Herbert last. Herbert tells Pip the story about Magwitch’s past and the woman of his past. When Pip is told about the woman in Magwitch’s past he closely relates the woman to Molly due to the matching story Wemmick told Pip about Jaggers’ servant, because of his chat with Herbert Pip now believes that the father of Estella is magwitch.”I know I am quite myself. And the man we have in hiding down the river, is Estella’s Father.” This quote enforces Pip’s theory and refers to Magwitch as “the man we have hiding down the river”.

Chapter 51

With the information Pip has acquired about Estella’s father he visits Jaggers office to confront him and confront him and confirm that Estella’s father in truth is Abel Magwitch. Whilst at the office the two talk to each other about the  to which Jaggers

Chapter 40

At the beginning of the chapter Pip is moving around his house when he trips over a shadowy man who he later realises  is Abel Magwitch ( the convict), Pip then offers him to stay at his and realises that Magwitch or “Provis” (as he was called back in Australia) has a gun with him. At the dinner table Pip is disgusted and annoyed in the way in which Magwitch eats and his table manners,”He ate in a ravenous way that was very disagreeable, and all his actions were uncouth, noisy, and greedy”, this quote supports the overall fact that Magwitch was eating in a very greedily way. Pip secretly leaves the house while Magwitch is sleeping to go to Jaggers to see if Magwitch’s story about himself is true.

Chapter 41

Pip and Herbert both secretly discuss Magwitch leaving the premises after five days of staying there.Magwitch leaves. Herbert tells Pip that he must stop using Magwitch’s money “you feel convinced that you can take no further benefits from him”. Pip and Herbert discuss a plan for Pip to take Magwitch abroad where he will no longer be hunted by the police and will be much safer. “Then you must get him out of England”, this quote supports the fact that Pip is thinking of taking Magwitch out of the country, as Herbert is seen telling Pip to get him out of England.

Chapter 42

Magwitch begins the chapter by telling Pip his life story and how he was always “in and out, in and out” of jail. He was an orphan who began stealing at a very young age in order to feed himself. Magwitch then tells the two young men of how he met Compeyson , a criminal who would  forge money and pass stolen, the two worked together and were tasked to steal money from a rich women who Compeyson tricked. The two were caught, but while standing trial Compeyson blamed Magwitch of orchestrating the crime, Magwitch was handed a 14 year sentence while  Compeyson only got 7 years, this unfair sentence angered Magwitch. Magwitch reminded Pip of the time he saw to convicts fighting in the ditch and revealed to him that it was him and Compeyson. Herbert later reveals to Pip that Arthur was the half brother of Miss Havisham and the person that broke her heart was Compeyson.

Chapter 43

The chapter begins with Pip telling us how much his shrinking of  Provis may be traced to Estella. Pip believes that he must leave Estella due to the fact that the money is from a “lowborn” man. Pip then proceeds to encounter Bentley Drummle where the two to talk to each other in a very unpleasant and sarcastic manner, “Pretending to read a smeary newspaper long out of date”, this quote supports the fact that the two were talking to each other in a very sarcastic manner as Pip pretended to read a newspaper just so he can ignore Drummle. Pip expresses the way in which Drummle reminded him of the way Orlick looks “as Drummle leaned down from the saddle and lighted his cigar and laughed, with a jerk of his head towards the coffee-room windows, the slouching shoulders and ragged hair of this man, whose back was towards me, reminded me of Orlick.” This quote supports the fact that Drummle in Pip’s eyes reminded him of Orlick. Pip then visits Satis house at the end of the chapter.

Chapter 44

Whilst at Satis house Miss Havisham tells Pip that she let him believe that she was his benefactor. Miss Havisham and Estella get into an argument, the two argue in a very sarcastic manner where Miss Havisham is disliking the fact that Estella does not love, but she herself taught Estella not to love. Pip talks with Estella and tells her that he loves her but is coldly replied that Estella never deceived into thinking she shared his feelings, she admits that she is controlling Bentley Drummle and is playing with his feelings. She then informs Pip that she is due to marry Bentley Drummle. Pip then returns home but sees a note on his gate saying “DON’T GO HOME”

Chapter 45

Upon arriving at Wemmick’s house(castle) Pip is told by Wemmick that he has learned through Jaggers’s office that Compeyson is pursuing Magwitch. After staying the night there and having breakfeast, Wemmick informs Pip that Herbert Pocket is hiding Abel Magwitch at Clara’s house.

Chapter 46

Pip visits Herebert at Clara’s house. At Clara’s house, Herbert informs Pip that Clara’s dad is a drunken mischievous ogre, “I am afraid he is a sad old rascal,” this quote supports the fact that Herbert tells Pip that Clara’s dad is a rascal and the quote “Don’t you smell rum? He is always at it.” shows us that her father is always drunk and of an ogre type. Pip is glad that he has removed Herbert and Clara from Clara’s father due to the current state of her father. Pip then finds Magwitch who has hiding upstairs and instead of feeling no sympathy or anything toward Magwitch he felt worried of Magwitch. The two discuss of a plan of sneaking Magwitch out and Pip agrees to go out and get a boat for the three, “I set myself to get the boat” this quote supports the fact that Pip has gone to get a boat and is planning to get them out.

Chapter 47

Pip and Herbert await Wemmick to give the signal but see no sign of it “We waited for Wemmick, and he made no sign.” this quote tells us that Pip has awaited Wemmick but unfortunately have not received a sign. Pip then recounts the fact that Estella has been married fro some time to Drummle now but refuses to think about it “an impression settled heavily upon me that Estella was married.” Later on in the chapter Pip decides to visit the theatre to see Mr. Wopsle perform, once the play finished Wopsle confronts Pip to tell him that he saw him in the stands but also recounts of seeing another person behind Pip “Saw you, Mr. Pip!” he returned. “Yes, of course I saw you. But who else was there?” This quote reinforces the fact that Wopsle asked Pip who that was behind him and asked who else had accompanied him , but in truth only Pip visited the play. Pip believes that the person behind him was Magwitch but knows that he is safe and somewhere else “Of course, I was perfectly sure and safe that Provis had not been there.” This quote supports Pip’s self-questioning. Pip then believes that the man behinds him was Compeyson  “or the special and peculiar terror I felt at Compeyson’s having been behind me “like a ghost.” This quote supports the fact that Pip is scared and terrified that Compeyson was breathing over his shoulders “like a ghost”. The chapter ends with Pip rushing in fear back to Wemmick and Herbert to inform them of what Wopsle has just told him.

Chapter 48

Pip is invited by Jaggers to have dinner, While at dinner Jaggers informs Pip that he has received a letter from Miss Havisham. Molly, Jaggers assistant walks in on them having dinner and Pip sees a strange resemblance of Estella on the face of Molly. Pip then believes that Molly is the mother of Estella due to the strange resemblance between the two. Pip walks back home with Wemmick and cannot resist the urge to question Wemmick about Molly, he asks Wemmick who she was and how she ended up being a part of Jaggers life,”The same. How did Mr. Jaggers tame her, Wemmick?” the quote supports the questioning of Pip towards Wemmick and instead of Pip asking how she went to Jaggers he asked how Jaggers tamed her. Wemmick proceeds to tell Pip that Molly was accused of the killing of a woman and the killing of her daughter. Pip then questions the sex of the girl “Do you remember the sex of the child?”, to which Wemmick replies with “Said to have been a girl.” This quote supports Pip’s questioning and proceeds to believe that the daughter is Estella.

Chapter 49

The chapter begins with Pip visiting Miss Havisham at Satis house, in response to the letter. Once he arrives Miss Havisham expresses her guilt of bringing up Estella in that way and leaving Pip without a person to love., Miss Havisham begins to question if Pip hates her due to what she had done  “because you hate me too much to bear to speak to me?” the quote supports Miss Havisham’s questioning and her fear of losing Pip. The quote “O!” she cried, despairingly. “What have I done! What have I done!” enforces Miss Havisham’s guilt and her sorrow for what she has done to Pip. Pip then begins to question Miss Havisham of Estella, who here mother was? and how she was brought to her? To which Miss Havisham answers. After having his questions answered Pip proceeds to leave the Satis house and on his way out he looks back at Miss Havisham and sees her too close to the fire to which then she proceeds to fall and go on fire.”I looked into the room where I had left her, and I saw her seated in the ragged chair upon the hearth close to the fire, with her back towards me. In the moment when I was withdrawing my head to go quietly away, I saw a great flaming light spring up. In the same moment.” This quote supports the fact that Miss Havisham was on fire and also tells us that Pip rushed in to save her and burnt himself in the process in doing so. The chapter ends in telling us that Miss Havisham has suffered serious injuries and is seriously ill.
