Random information on the term “Great Expectations”:
Philip Pirrip, called Pip, is the protagonist and narrator in Charles Dickens’s novel Great Expectations (1861). He is amongst the most popular characters in English literature.Pip narrates his story many years after the events of the novel take place. The novel follows Pip’s process from childhood innocence to adulthood. The financial and social rise of the protagonist is accompanied by an emotional and moral deterioration, which forces Pip to recognize his negative expectations in a new self-awareness.
When the novel begins in the early 1800s, Philip is a seven-year-old orphan raised by his uncaring sister, “Mrs. Joe”, who beats him regularly, and her husband Joe Gargery, a blacksmith and Pip’s best friend. He lives in the marsh area of Kent, England, twenty miles from the sea.
Pip has no recollection of either of his parents; he is more than twenty years younger than his sister. Five brothers died in infancy between them: Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias and Roger. He is known to himself and to the world as Pip, because his “infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip”. The opening scene of the novel shows Pip in a graveyard paying his respects to the graves of his parents and brothers. He says he is small for his age when he encounters the convicts at age seven, but when he is apprenticed to Joe, he is taller and becomes very strong to master the work of a blacksmith.

Random information on the term “PIP”:
Pips are small but easily countable items, such as the dots on dominoes and dice, or the symbols on a playing card that denote its suit and value.
In playing cards, pips are small symbols on the front side of the cards that determine the suit of the card and its rank. For example, a standard 52-card deck consists of four suits of thirteen cards each: spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds. Each suit contains three face cards – the jack, queen, and king. The remaining ten cards are called pip cards and are numbered from one to ten. (The “one” is almost always changed to “ace” and often is the highest card in many games, followed by the face cards.) Each pip card consists of an encoding in the top left-hand corner (and, because the card is also inverted upon itself, the lower right-hand corner) which tells the card-holder the value of the card. In Europe, it is more common to have corner indices on all four corners which lets left-handed players fan their cards more comfortably. The center of the card contains pips representing the suit. The number of pips corresponds with the number of the card, and the arrangement of the pips is generally the same from deck to deck.
