"Pause you who read this, and consider the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day."
After Pip's first day at Miss Havisham's house, his life is changed completely. We've talked a lot about fate and coincidence in class. Consider your life as a chain of your experiences - what was that first link for you? You could consider it your fate or merely a string of coincidences that brought you here to this moment in your life and made you the person you are today.
Whatever the circumstances, write about your "chain." What was the first link? What were some of the links to follow? Which parts of your chain are thorns or flowers? Iron or gold?
Write at least two paragraphs in response. Due Monday, May 1.
