Read this excerpt from a literary analysis essay:

Dickens's characterization of Pip in Great Expectations shows the negative effects of pride and greed. Pip, after living in the "big city" for some time, returns to his village to visit his friend Biddy. At one point, she tells him that she doubts he actually will return to visit them. Pip is upset: "Don't say any more, if you please, Biddy. This shocks me very much." Unfortunately, Pip cannot see the truth about himself.Is the underlined commentary in the excerpt effective?

A. No, because it does not adequately describe the characterization of Pip.

B. Yes, because it refers to the fact that Pip has a negative view of himself.

C. No, because it does not mention how pride has affected Pip.

D. Yes, because it shows how Pip's relationship with his friend Biddy has changed.

Respuesta :

A. No, because it does not adequately describe the characterization of Pip.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. No, because it does not adequately describe the characterization of Pip.

Explanation:

Great Expectations is a novel written by English author Charles Dickens. It is about Pip, who is an orphan, and his education through different stages. The novel is set in different places, such as Kent and London. Biddy is a former Pip's schoolmate.

In the excerpt, the quote is not very accurate. Even though readers can understand that Pip is upset about something, it is not strictly related to his pride and greed, but it could be something else. In that part of the novel, Pip has come back to see Joe and argues with Biddy about her attitude during that episode; so, this description does not describe the characterization of Pip.
