R/V 400 :Great Expectations Name ______________________________
Chapters Ten & Eleven
1. Pip tells Herbert, “…You may think me lucky. I have great
expectations, I know. But all that depends on one person. And I still
don’t really know how much I’ll receive, or when. Nothing is certain.”
Pip is probably talking about receiving
a. money from Miss Havisham
b. love from Estella
c. friendship and advice from Joe
d. an education from Herbert’s father
2. Herbert tells Pip, “Think of Estella, and her education, and how
unhappy you may be with her. Couldn’t you possibly forget about
her?” Do you think Pip should “forget” about Estella? Why or why
not?
