Pip's Quote

Pip's attitude has changed for being an apprentice to Joe; he now realizes that he can take bigger steps than Joe and he no longer desires to be a blacksmith. Pip begins to build his chain that will help him discover his true character. His new character is revealed when he says, "I am afraid I was ashamed of the dear fellow-I know I was ashamed of him...." Pip no longer looks to Joe as a remodel, but rather sees him as a motivation to go further in life. 

The most defining moment was when I realized that I could be seen as an independent person. I not longer defined myself by how I was seen by others, but how I how I was able to see myself. The links began to fit together once I was able to set and stick to my goals; not letting anyone or anything get in the way. Just as Pip doesn't let the negative thoughts of others influence his pursuing of goals; I have and will do the same. My chain wont break.
