Pip is referring you to stop and try to remember a moment of your life that has changed who you have become today. This experience that Pip has had has changed him in negative ways. Pip has become more mature in his thoughts and actions. He doesn’t make a game of describing his opinion of uncle Pumblechook and he starts to use more offensive words against Pumblechook. Uncle Pumblechook isn’t the only one who Pip thinks of differently (not that he ever liked Pumblechook). Pips opinions of himself and Joe also change. Pip used not care so much about what others think, but after being insulted by Estella, Pip begins to care about social status and class. He doesn’t like his “course hands and thick boots.” He cares to a point where he begins to get embarrassed by Joe and his low education. This is slowly separating him from Joe.
An important chain in my life started towards the end of seventh grade. I wasn’t chosen by my math teacher to skip pre-algebra, which didn’t bother me, until my imbecilic friend of mine was chosen to skip pre-algebra. This was one of lessons about how important grades are that stood out to me. After that year ended, I decided to change how I look at school and grades. In 8th grade, I did more than just what’s required to pass, I applied myself and did all I could to get the best grades I could and it worked. I’m pretty sure my lowest grade that year was a B. I now work harder, knowing that getting the future I want can be done with good grades.
