The voice Pip heard scared the living daylights out of him. The voice certainly created tension as Pip was scared for his life, he had a great amount of fear at that point in time and his blood was rushing through his body. Pip pleaded for his life, what else could he do, he’s only about 10 years old and his life is at threat at such a young age, anyone at that age would be scared, even people older. Pip said “Oh! Don’t cut my throat, sir,” he was scared of death.
He could have thought his life was at a great amount of danger.
The man asked Pip “Where do you live” Pip answered down there, he pointed out were he lived, he was scared, he was not only scared of his life now but his sisters too. The man turned Pip upside down and took all of Pips belongings; he never had much as he was not at all wealthy. Tension is created by people’s lives being at threat. Pip is frightened; fear definitely is rising rapidly as well as tension. Tension is built up rapidly in the early chapters as life is at stake.
The man was asking him all sorts of questions and Pip new if he answered incorrectly he was in for trouble. He was with a greater sense of helplessness and danger.
The man told Pip that he wants a File and wittles in the early morning.
“You bring them both to me” he tilted me again “Or I’ll have your heart and liver out” he tilted me again. It is unbelievable what is going through his mind rite now as he must be scared of dying. Fear is at a peak point and tension is rising rapidly sentence by sentence. He is frightened for his life in a very weak manner. He is being threatened sentence by sentence. If he doesn’t get the files and wittles in the early morning his heart and liver shall be torn out, roasted and ate.
The lines above gives a big fright to the young boy scared, fighting for his life bravely. Tensions is rising as death is being mentioned in a terrible state and the little boy is within tremendous fear, but too give him some credit he is being very brave.
The man says “There’s a young man hid with me, in comparison with which young man I am an Angel”. Pip is shaking, what he can do now, he thought he was scared before but now fear Is as high as it gets, how can Pip think there is anything worse than what’s just happening to him. Tension is at its peak. Pip is dreading the man, even though Pip hasn’t seen the man, he is frightened that he could get a painful death. At this time Pip the young boy must have wet his pants with all the fear he has had to face.
A boy may lock his door, may be warm at night, may tuck himself up, may draw the cloths over his head, and may think himself as comfortable and safe, but that young man can softly creep and creep his way into him and tear him open.
How can someone not feel safe in there own house, there own room, there own bed. Pip that’s what’s happened to him, he’s scared at his own house.
Pip 10 years old has a big long task ahead of him, he has to be up to the task or boom sooner than you think someone else in his family could be dead. He has to get a file and broken bits of food he can find and go to the battery in the morning to give him a chance of staying alive. All it takes is one wrong move, and in a second flat something could happen. Tension and fear, both peaks high, not even that low higher that any peak you can imagine.
Pip says “I looked all around for the horrible young man, and could see no signs of him. But now I was frightened again, and ran home without stopping”
The lines above are scary, the way in which he says it gives a feeling how scared he really was. He from his own mouth mentioned he was frightened and that he ran home without stopping. This proves that tension was increasing dramatically and fear was all around him.
Mrs Joe Gargery, Pip’s sister, is strong. She is more dominant than Mr Joe Gargery, her husband. She has something inside her, which gives a feeling that fear is being sent to other people from her, therefore tension is being created.
I feel that she has an aim to achieve; I feel that she is always looking at having a go at someone, in a very scary approach.
Pip is scared of his own sister as he is even scared to eat. He is told to chew his food properly and if he doesn’t chew his food properly he would receive an unpleasant punishment. Fear is being created as Pip is scared of his sister. Tension is being kept at a steady level with Pip at home with his sister.
Pip says “If ever anybody’s hair stood on end with terror, mine must have done so then” Pip says that out of his own mouth, that is evidence on how scared he really is and how much fear is in him at that time. He must be scared, fearful, frightened, terrified, horrified and certainly panicky, so tension is at a very high level.
Pip the young boy was scared to go to sleep; he had fear rushing through him with many what ifs. What if I get caught, what if I don’t do everything rite. He is scared of stealing from his own family; tension is getting higher and higher.
The man Pip had to go to in the early morning was an unpleasant guy, the man ate like a dog, and it showed that he must have been very hungry.
Pip a young lad, very unfortunate he was, as he had to live his life in dreadfulness as his whole life was screwed up. His own sister beats him, his family insults him. When it was Pips birthday, Pip had the worst food, he should have had the best food but he didn’t. He had something called left overs. People look at him weirdly, like he was someone that was doing something wrong all day. Pip certainly lived with fear throughout his life and tension was sent as high as it can go. Charles Dickens created a lot of tension and fear in the early chapters of Great Expectations as he had sent fear and tension to the highest level.
