The Reoccuring Convict
Who is this man that Pip "helped" at the beginning of the book. He keeps being brought back into the and I am curious as to why. Do you think that he is going to get Pip into trouble, or possibly help him? I don't knw why but I have the image of the ghostly man from the Polar Express in my mind when I imagine him. What do you think this man's significance is? If you already read it don't spoil it (cough cough Shruthi).

I was really confused too (I already know why but I won't spoil it). The book kept going along and it took a really long time to explain the purpose of the beginning. I understand that Dickens probably didn't want to play all of his cards at once, but I don't know if it should have taken THAT long to show the meaning.
