Making Connections and Posting a picture!!!

I can't really relate this book to anything else that I have read because I don't read stuff like this. The only book that I can kind of relate it to is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee because they're both about someone's childhood and growing up. In Great Expectations Pip is the boy growing up, and so is Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird.  But they're also very different books because while pip is brought up "by hand", Scout has more caring family members so they two characters are quit different.
    I think that both authors books have a complete different writing style, Dickens is confusing but Lee's is pretty simple to understand. While TKAM is based on a nice girl growing up with racism problems unlike GE where it's about class problems and what is was like being raised way back then.
    Both of these books do have a message about life. I think both messages kind of relate to how people act and what they believe is right and wrong. In G.E the people thought that it was right to be in the non working class and wrong to work for a living and be poor. In TKAM they thought it was wrong to be anything other than American or to help/stand up for anyone that is not American. I think that both books give off a really good example of human nature.
