The Female, the Children, the Poor, and the Ignored speak.
The society in Great Expectations favors the male and the moneyed. This situation is not exclusive to only Great Expectations as the society in the 19th century is of patriarchal in politics and capitalist in economics. As a result, more than half of the populations were mere puppets in the show directed by these privileged.
On the 25th August 2010, you were given the opportunity to lend a helping hand to these people, whom over the many centuries, have remained silent against the maltreatment.
Whom have you chosen to help and what would they say to their oppressors?
* Reminder: On 1 September 2010 we will hear these Silents speak. Show your support for these people by bringing 1 candle each. Any candle will do: the aromatic ones, colored or a low quality ones as the organizer for this gathering does not discriminate.
My group members are Ahmad Zahri - 150168, Mohd Faiz Yusof - 150180, Ahmad Tajuddin - 150167 and me myself, Saw Hua JI - 150187.
ReplyDeleteThe character that we have chosen to help is Pip as we could not stand the way Estella treated him. So below is the conversation where he will speaks up.
E is Estella
P is Pip
E: Here is your food. (with an insolent look) you filthy animal.
P: Miss, can you give it more properly?
E: Properly? Isn't this proper enough for a commoner like you?!
P: Commoner?!Yes, I am just a common boy! Does that bother you?
E: Yes!it bothers me a lot. I am rich and you are not.
P: It is the rich people like you who brings suffering to people like me. You ungrateful girl!
E: What did you say? It is you, common people who give us hard time!
P: Hard time? For a little girl like you, you just talk big and nonsense.
E: I am not like that. Its the truth.
P: What truth? I am human being just like you I breath the same air and live on the same earth, just like you!
E: Wow! Now i am the one who's guilty hah?!
P: Yes, you are! You heartless guttersnipe.
E: Guttersnipe! OMG! I am sooo freaking mad!
P: You don't know the word "mad"! You moron! I am the one who should be mad!
E: Why you.....
P: Stop, you have the right to remain silent, just shut up. I had enough. Goodbye! Va-mos!

C: I'm sorry Sham...Actually our marriage plan isn't my utmost priority. I have other things to care about
Mr. Magwitch, I have a deal with them, And I just realize that you are not as beautiful as before. I dont want to live in denial for the rest of my life. I love you, but I don't think I could love you forever. You deserve someone else's love, eternity love.
H : What do you mean by that? What do you mean that I'm not your utmost priority? You know Compeyson, I'm so deep in love with you. I sacrifice everything to ensure our wedding day will become the most precious memory for us. But look at you! you have destroyed my dream to be together with for the rest of my life...It's a shame! Everyone knows about the wedding, the cards had been distributed, everything prepared! It was a waste..a total waste! Damn you Compey! Where should I hide my face?! People were talking, laughing at me, insulting...Oh! It hurt a lot!
C: You shall not simply judge me! You have no idea what happened! Well, no use to explain now i suppose. You shall not listen and I bet, you gonna believe on what you want to for the rest of your life!
H : Yes, Too late for anything. What is done cannot be undone! One more thing. Beautiful?? You love me because I'm beautifuly??What on earth if I'm getting old? You are such a crap!
It's Ok. Now I have Stella with me. I'll share me love with her.. I shall live on my own life, alone, without any love from a man in return. What goes around comes around! Mind you, wait for yours to come.
Assalamualaikum and a very good morning..

B - the sun is so pretty today, isn't it Pip?
P - Yes Bid. I feel so hot but someone warm me.
B - Who's that lucky girl?
P - It is Estella, my one and only beauty in the sun.

P - She's more beautiful than anybody ever was and I admire her dreadfully and I want to be a gentleman on her account.
B - You want to know something? It's about Orlick. I think he is in love with me. I don't like him. Please don't let him come to me.
P - I don't like it when Orlick did that.
B - Stay away from Estella, just be with me.
P - No! My heart belongs only to Estella.
B - So can Orlick have me if you don't want me?
P - No!
Great Expectations
ReplyDeleteScene: Pip and Mrs. Joe
Mrs. Joe: You! You! Where did you go?
Pip: None of your business!
Mrs. Joe: How dare you to answer to me like that? You know I raised you by hands! Show some respects!
Pip: I need my own space. I have my own things to do!
Mrs. Joe: Sit you down! You see this Tickler? You want this on your butt?
Pip: Who do you think you are? You think you are so good? You asked me to go to the church but you yourself sitting home doing nothing, just lay your ass on the floor!
Mrs. Joe: I do nothing? Who cooked you all this while? If I know you would behave like this, I'll drown you in the boiling water!
Pip: That's your responsibility! It's you who should take care of me, and not me who should wipe your ass off!!!
Mrs. Joe: You think I don't know you stole the foods? I saw you in the kitchen. You want me to report to the police?
Pip: No use in threatening me! You think the police will believe I stole the food in my own house?
Mrs. Joe: You! You! You're such a disgrace! I'll tell Joe!
Pip: Just so you know, Joe hates you so much! He's gonna leave you and we'll live just both of us! Poor! you! Hahahahahahaha!!!!

ReplyDeleteGreetings all,
ReplyDeleteI had to remove the previous posting. Has second thoughts about what I said before.
Read on please...
Many candles were burning bright this morning. It would have been brighter if we had gotten many more people to join us in our morning gathering.
For those who came and fought back any fashion of oppressions, could you please explain to us in what manner you have fought back and what it is that you fought against.

Chapter 3 (scene pip give food to the convict)
Pip : Hellooo…anyone here…?
Convict : Shush…come here you little bastard. Did you bring it?
Pip : Yes, here your food
Grab the food instantly and eat it all at once.
Convict : (mouth full) Now sit there and watch me eat kiddo. Hahaha
Pip : So, is it delicious?
Convict : Yeah…yeah…yeah…now would you please shut your fucking mouth up?
Pip : I am sorry sir. Anyway sir, why do you eat like my dog?
Convict : Huh, what did you just said?
Pip : Yes…yes…just like my dog, snapped up, every mouthful, too soon and too fast; and he looked sideways here and there while he ate, as if he thought there was danger in every direction, of somebody's coming to take the pie away.
Convict : (while snatching pip’s collar angrily)I think you would mind if I cut your throat and make you a dog food?
Pip : No I am sorry sir, please spare me a life.
Convict : now shut up and just keep quiet will you?(continue eating the food)
Pip : Okay. Aren’t you wanna some food for your friends?
Convict : What friends? I don’t have any friends.
Pip : But just now I saw him wandering alone and runaway when he saw me.
Convict : Oh really, where is he now?
Pip : There, look.
Suddenly a man comes by running with cuffs in both his hands and feet.
Hi,

Dear Madam, I'm sorry for two things. First is because I didn't post a comment on this blog post and second because I didn't go to class when this gathering was held. Actually I was in Faiz, Harith, Najat, Hasif and Ikram's group but as I didn't go to the gathering, my name was not listed. So I'm hoping that you could consider me as of the group's member. Sorry and thank you for everything..
