Question

In chapter 12 of Great Expectations, what happens to Pip because of the fight he had experienced?

1) He gets expelled from school
2) He gets a black eye
3) He wins the fight
4) He becomes friends with the person he fought

Answer 1

The story is told through first-person narration, with the narrator being the central character. The opening paragraph provides insight into the narrator's family background and sets the stage for the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of first-person narration. The story is told by a character who is also a protagonist in the narrative. In Great Expectations, as in most first person narratives, the narrator is also the central character. The opening paragraph, with its emphasis on the narrator's family background, and the repetitions of his name - "So I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip" – are an immediate suggestion that the character telling us the story is likely to be at the heart of it. This is further reinforced as we are then given more information about his family and his circumstances.
