CONNECTION

        A connection that I made while I was connecting Great Expectations to another book was the Harry Potter series. First of all, they are both told from the same perspective. Yes, the Harry Potter books are written in the third person and Great Expectations in first person but both of the stories revolve around two young boys and their lives. Neither of the boys have very good childhoods, Pip not having his parents and having to grow up with his sister that detests him, and Harry not having parents either and having to live with his awful relatives who treat him like crap.
        Another connection that I made between the two different books were that after their awful childhoods, something great happened to them. They both came into money and got to live a totally different life than before. Pip was able to move to London, get educated, get money and learn to be a gentlemen. Harry came into money as well, moved into Hogwarts away from his awful relatives, became educated, and learns to be a wizard. Both of the boys had their hard times that they had to get through but weren't they worth it all in the end?
