Why did Charles Dickens write the novel you're reading/reviewing? What in your analysis of literary techniques led you to this conclusion? (Make sure to include textual support illustrating Dickens' use of at least three techniques we've studied/discussed this year.)
I think Charles Dickens wrote the novel I'm reading to show the cruelty and discrimination brought upon people because of materialistic point of views such as rich and poor. Likewise, Great Expectations (I also read Tale of Two Cities and Catch-22), hence the title, depicts a story about morals about the expectations of a persons class that has been brought upon them. What led to my conclusion was how Pip, one of the main characters, uses stream of consciousness a lot, especially when he comes into situations where he can get in serious trouble. A term we also just learned is foil, which is depicted through Pip and Estella. Estella is almost completely different than Pip in a sense of social class and the way she acts. Estella is brought up on the richer side of life and Pip is very respectful and polite.
I also wanted to talk about Catch-22. Catch-22 is basically a non chronological novel about a war that is very satirical too. The arguments can be very circumlocution too because they argue but its just a random mess of words being together. Like how they say " you can't be crazy to fly, but you must be crazy to fly." In what reality does that make sense????
