In the book call Great Expectations there is this convict [a.k.a scary guy]. Before you find out what the convict looks like he says ≥Hold your noise!≤ while he came around the graves from the side of the church porch then threatens the boy [pip] that he better stay still or else heπll cut his throat. The convict is in all coarse grey with a great iron leg. He has no hat, broken shoes, and an old rag tied around his head. It looks like he has been soaking in water, all in mud, and lamed by stones, flints have cut him, and nettles have stung him, and torn by briars. Instead of walking he limps, heπs shivering like crazy, has a glare and growled, and his teeth chattered inside his head as he grabbed pipπs chin. The scary guy seems very rushed and always seems to threaten! The man even picked up pip and put him upside down to get things from him when all the got was bread which he ravished. The convict is very nosey like asking where pips lives and where is his mother and what his name was. Scary guy seems like he has not ate in forever! The convict has now asked pip if he knows what a file is and what wittles are. Each question he asked he tipped pip backward more and more. [He was holding pip by the shoulders.] The more pip went backward the more he felt in danger and helpless again the convict and made it so the convict seemed to be more powerful over him. After finding out that pip knew about files and wittles the convict told pip to get him a file, wittles, and food by early morning and to meet at the battery over the yonder. Then convict limped away and pip ran home scared after looking back. )313)

The convict is that a fearful man that came to Pip at the graveyard, threatened him. The first words that came out of the mans mouth was that Pip should keep still or he'll slit his throat. The man takes what Pip has in his pockets, a piece of bread, and eats it. He then puts Pip on top of a tombstone. The man asks Pip about his parents, and Pip shows him their gravestone. The man tells Pip that he doesn't know if he should be let live. He asks Pip if he knows what a file and whittles are, Pip says yes. The man starts tilting Pip on the tombstone and tells him to get him a file and whittles and bring them back to him the next morning. If Pip does not, the man basically says that he will come and kill him in his sleep. Pip is very scared. The man leaves, and Pip runs home.(160)

the conflict in chapter one is that pip, whose real name is Pirrip, has lost his parents a long time ago, before he was an infant. he doesnt know who they are or what they looked like, all he knows is their names. he is visiting their gravesites and tries to picture what they would have looked like. he pictured his mom being "freckled and sickly" and his father being "a stout, stout, dark man with curly black hair". the other conflict is when a thief comes and tries to steal from pip. he empties his pockets and only has a piece of bread. the man eats it and finds out that pip's parents died. he realizes pip is very poor and has almost nothing while pip is trying to hold back tears.

  The convict, a man with a terrible voice of which emerged from the graves at the side of the church. He was a very fearful man dressed all in coarse gray with a great iron tied to his leg. He had no hat, ruined shoes and an old rag tied around his head. It looked as hough he were soaked in water smothered in mud and attacked by stones, cut by flints and stung by nettles. He limped shivered, glared and growled with teeth chattering in his head. He was a desperate man and emptied Pip's pockets by lifting him up and turning him upside down and then shaking him violently. From this action you can deciphered that he was obviously a strong man. He was intimidating using verbal abuse like threatening to kill and maim this poor young child. He had power in his eyes that overwhelmed that of the child's. He was convincing in his talk with the boy in creating an illusion of a sort of boogie-man like character, so convincing that he got the boy to promise he would steal and bring him a file and food. The file was to remove his iron and the food was to fill his empty stomach. He was to meet him at the battery early in the morning with these items. The mans body was shaking in such a way that he had to hug it almost as if to hold himself together. Before he left he gave a look to the child which gave a feeling almost as if he were avoiding the hands of the dead people stretching them out to pull him underneath. As he climbed over the low church wall you could see that his legs were numbed, almost stiff. That was the least seen of him on this day. The man was a true stickler and the boy ran all the way home.
