I'm thinking of ideas for my Mr Pip ideas and a theme I came across was lies and lying in the book. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some more examples of lies in the book that I can review. Thanks!
What I have so far (Spoilers):
-Mr Watts says that he is Pip
-Mr Watts says that he is Mr Dickens
-Mr Watts says that he will Tell Dolores about leaving
Others would be great.
You're reading "Great Expectations?"
Sorry, no, Mr Pip, a book based upon the reading of Great Expectations.
OH! I haven't read it, so can't help. I know "Great Expectations," but not this one.
Oh aha thanks anyway!
To find more examples of lies and lying in the book "Mr. Pip" by Lloyd Jones, you can go through the text and analyze the actions and dialogues of the characters. Here are a few additional examples of lies from the book to help you with your review (spoilers ahead):
1. Dolores' lies: Dolores, the mother of the protagonist Matilda, often lies to her daughter. For instance, she lies about seeing an islander among the villagers, which leads to the villagers' belief that the islanders are hiding in the village.
2. The villagers' lies: In an attempt to protect themselves, the villagers lie about their knowledge of Great Expectations and Mr. Watts. They hide their copies of the book and pretend to be unfamiliar with Mr. Watts, which ultimately puts Mr. Watts in danger.
3. The redskins' lies: The redskins, a group of rebels who terrorize the village, spread lies about Mr. Watts and the white villagers. They suggest that Mr. Watts is a spy and that he and the villagers have hidden valuables.
4. Mr. Watts' lie about Daniel Defoe: Mr. Watts initially claims that Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe, is a religious fellow, but later confesses that he made it up just to keep the villagers engaged in the story. This lie temporarily erodes the villagers' faith in Mr. Watts.
5. The lie about Pip's fate: In the later part of the book, the redskins tell the villagers that Pip dies in the end of Great Expectations. This lie is meant to discourage the villagers and make them lose hope.
Remember to refer to the book to gather specific details about these lies and how they impact the story. Analyzing the lies and their consequences will provide a deeper understanding of the theme of lies and lying in "Mr. Pip."
