GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Although written more than a century ago, the short opening chapter of 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens resonates loudly with all its new readers because it combines themes of lonliness and isolation with the raw emotion of fear.
As 'Great Expectations' develops, it's easy for the reader to understand the metaphor of Philip Pirrip being unable to say his own name and, like a seed that will grow and blossom into a mighty oak, he calls himself Pip at the start of his infant life.
