Most Memorable Moment - Akshave Arulparan

The most memorable moment for me was the moment where Pip meets the escaped convict. Pip first meets Magwitch in the marshes as a young boy. This was the most memorable because Pip didn't have to do anything in that situation. He could of just ignored the convict and kept going, But he was terrified at the sight of a man with a leg iron. "A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been soaked in water, and smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped, and shivered, and glared and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin" (Dickens 2). The convict threatens Pip and demands that he brings him food and etc. "You bring me, to-morrow morning early, that file and them wittles. You bring the lot to me, at that old Battery over yonder. You do it, and you never dare to say a word or dare to make a sign concerning your having seen such a person as me, or any person sumever, and you shall be let to live. You fail, or you go from my words in any partickler, no matter how small it is, and your heart and your liver shall be tore out, roasted and ate" (Dickens 3). Pip, who is frightened by the Convict, believing that he will kill him if he does not listen to him, steals food from Mrs. Joe's pantry. It is important to note, that Pip also feels great compassion for the hungry man in the marshes. Pip's suffering begins immediately, because as he tries to save his food portion for Magwitch, his sister thinks that he is gulping his food and therefore administers a dose of tar-water, as well as a stern beating.  It's an important moment as well because this shows that Pip is demanding and there are many qualities and characteristics that are portrayed in this very specific part in the book. We learn more about Pips behaviour and how he acts towards others, but even though he was doing wrong by stealing he had a good heart for thinking for the people who were less fortunate and didn't have as much as him, he wanted to give back to them and help them out In there times of needs even though it was a difficult task for him to help since he didn't even have enough to help, he still did all he could to help the man. No matter if he got in trouble or not he didn't care which made him very bold and courageous.
