In this chapter, the elder Pip is narrating about experiences of the past. This chapter is very interesting because we had a little bit of drama and action and the story has taken a different, more relaxed, approache in this chapter. He remembers working as Joe’s apprentice and how he could see Estella’s face in the fire. This chapter has put a different perspective of the rest of the story and if this happens constantly then the story should flow more and more. He also remembers singing Old Clem and that would remind him of the time that he spent at Miss Havisham’s house.

Chapter 11:

Pip goes back to Miss Havisham’s house and Estella greets him at the from gate and takes into a room where Camilla, Miss Sarah Pocket and Raymond are all waiting. Once Pip enters the room these people all start talking about him as if he isn’t there. Estella calls them all up to greet Miss Havisham and they all start talking nicely to Miss Havisham because they want to inherit all of her riches once she dies. Pip is forced to walk Miss Havisham round the room where her wedding banquet was supposed to be held with all the rotten food. Estella lets Pip into the garden where he is confronted by this pale young gentleman who asks for a fight. Pip hits the man first and punches him straight in the nose and the man is on the floor.

Chapter 12:

Pip is constantly thinking about this young man that he punched and went to Miss Havisham’s again the next time after Mr Pumblechook and Mrs. Joe are having a conversation about Pip. This time on his return he tells Mrs. Joe and Joe himself that Joe is invited to Miss Havisham’s house.

Chapter 13:

Joe is dressed all smartly for the occasion of meeting Miss Havisham. Due to the fact that Joe gets nervous when Miss Havisham asks Joe a question instead of responding directly to Miss Havisham, he addresses Pip. Miss Havisham had offered Pip a premium bag for his visits to her house with 25 guineas in a bag and asks Pip to give it to his master. As they leave Pip asks if he is to come to her house again and she replies “no because Gargary is your master now”. When they return to the house Mrs. Joe is astonished by the fact that Miss Havisham has given them all this money. They go to the town hall and was put into an apprenticeship with Joe. They have a dinner in the Blue Boar.
