Great Expectations: Photo Post

I chose this photo of a bridge because it represents Pip's journey throughout his life. Pip is given the opportunity to step out of (what he thinks of as) the shadows of his old life as a blacksmith and into the sunlight of his new life as a gentleman. Pip boldly takes this leap, although there might be hardships on the path ahead. Part of his "great expectations" will require always traveling forward on the path, and never looking back. This might be hard for Pip in the future, and he might find that he should have cherished those younger days more. Pip will soon discover what the path laid out before him by his great expectations will really mean for his life.
