Read the passage and then answer the questions below:
Great Expectations was written in 1860 and is one of the most famous books by the great English novelist, Charles
Dickens. The main character in this novel is Pip
One dark evening, a small boy called Pip met a frightening man, a convict called Magwitch. Magwitch had
escaped from a prison ship on its way to Australia, and he terrified Pip into stealing some food for him. Magwitch
was caught (though he did not tell the police that Pip had stolen food for him) and continued to his exile in
Australia.
Pip’s parents were dead, and he lived with his older sister and her husband, a blacksmith called Joe.
They were poor, and Pip’s only opportunity in life was to become a blacksmith like Joe. But one day,
while Pip was learning his new job, a lawyer from London visited him. The lawyer told Pip that he had
inherited a lot of money from an anonymous benefactor. The only rich person Pip had ever known was an old
lady called Miss Havisham, who had been friendly to him when he was a child.
The lawyer told Pip that he must go to London immediately where he would have enough money to study and
become a gentleman. Sometime later, Pip discovered the true identity of his benefactor – it was not Miss
Havisham, but Magwitch, the convict he had helped all those years ago and who had just arrived back in
London. In Australia, Magwitch had become a rich farmer and had decided to help the boy he had terrified so
