Pip and Joe They are the most important characters in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I find them both intereting because they are both humane and good-natured. Pip, who is the main character and the narrator, is ambitious and lived his life as a dreamer, the fact that gripped me because I am a dreamer myself. Joe, Pip's brother-in-law, is honest, kind and generous. His function in the story is to love Pip and be a father to him. So it was just another story about unconditional love,true friendship and other values that I still cherish in my life.

Hi, Noor.

There isn't really anything to correct here except maybe the typo in "interesting". I think that I would have said "a fact", because there are other facts in the book, but the fact that Pip was a dreamer was the one that gripped you.

Regarding content, I could argue about the last statement, because the book was more than just another story about unconditional love, as I remember. There were points made about society's views of convicts (Pip's Dad, and I'm not even that sure about what crime he had committed in the past), madness following being jilted at the altar.... And the protégé of Miss Havisham was a very odd individual, I think - sorry, it's been ages since I read the book!!

Anyway, Noor your post was still excellent in my opinion. Kudos!!
