Great Expectations
Journal Entry Options through Chapter X

1)     At the end of Chapter IX, Dickens directly addresses the reader, saying “Pause, you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day."     Begin by paraphrase his statement, identifying the key motif, then recount a memorable day that formed the first link on of your own experience of being bound.


2)     One of the ways that Dickens links disparate story lines is to employ linking motifs.  Identify one linking motif, cite its appearance in two seemingly separate story lines, and comment on its significance.
