After reading the chapter, does it end the way you wanted it to? Does it end the way you think Pip wanted it to? Read the alternate ending. Which do you prefer and why? Spend some time and write down another alternate ending that you think would better conclude the story. Pick up where Pip and Estella meet in the garden. Original Ending (Excerpt in packet) Compare and contrast the endings. What does Pip mean when he says Estellas suffering had been stronger than Miss Havisham's teaching? How does the original ending affect the plot of the novel?
