3. Pip, the protagonist in "Great Expectations" is a dynamic and round character. At the beginning of the novel is a small child about the age of seven and by the end he is  about twenty-three years old and has matured into a very respectable and matured gentlemen. When he begins, he is a misbehaved orphan living with his older sister constantly running off and getting into trouble. And when he inherits a large amount of money and moves to London he becomes cocky and ignores his good friends Joe and Biddy. But as time passes, and he experiences more of life he realizes that he mistreated his friends and has been really selfish. He makes a transformation and becomes an admirable young gentlemen. 
4. After reading this novel, I felt like I met Pip. It wasn't my favorite book to read so it was hard to really get into it, but since it was written in first person, the reader saw all of Pip's thoughts on everything he experience which really helped me to get to know him better. And since I did learn a lot about him, personally it felt like I was good friends with him, going through everything he went through, rather than just reading a character.
