1. The book "Great Expectations" starts out with young Pip visiting a churchyard in order to look at his parent's graves. While he was there, Pip was confronted by a young man who is an escaped convict. Upon hearing that Pip is in contact with a blacksmith, he demands a file and "whittles" which he shall use to saw through his leg irons.

2.Pip has adopted the nickname of "Hercules in strength, and also in weakness" to say that Joe is very tough and strict if he needs to be, but has a kind heart and can sometimes be manipulated by people with bad intent.

3.In order to carry out the convict's demands, he needed to acquire some food, a file, and "whittles". However, he had no such items and could only get them by stealing from his sister. This posed a big problem for Pip because he did not want to get caught stealing from his own sister. She would get very mad is she found out and everybody in the community would think of him as a bad person.

4. In chapter 4, Pip commited a serious crime by stealing a pork pie from the soldiers in his community. Chapter 4 ends as several police officers barge in through his front door, making it seem as though Pip got caught and was about to be arrested.

5.Pip's convict manages to save Pip by taking all the blame, saying that he stole the food and file.

1. Pip was at the chruch yard because he was having a moment at looking at his parent's graves in the cementary and of all his other siblings that are no longer with him. The man he met there was an escaped convict who had nothing and was frightening Pip terribly to make him give him what he wanted. He told Pip that there would be a young man that would eat his liver and heart if he fails to give him food and a file to cut the iron on his leg.
2.Pip refers to his brother-in-law Joe, who is really like an uncle, because Pip is a child, whose sister, 'Mrs.Joe', is over twenty years older than him and is married to Joe Gargery, as a peer. Joe is like a peer to Pip because he is kind and very mild and considerate to Pip, he is a good man. On the other hand, he a coward, and is controlled by Georgiana (his wife, 'Mrs.Joe'), just like Pip is and refuses to stand up to her.
3.It was difficult for Pip to carry out the convict's wishes, because, while trying to take some bread from the dinner table to slip into his pants from where he lives, at his sister's who is extremely brutal and strict, he is caught. This is not exactly so, but he is confronted by Joe, who was only worrying about him choking down his food, says this out loud.Georgiana, who is very mean, first, pounds Joe's head and makes a remark about him being a pig. She then forcefully pours bitter Tar-water down Joe and Pip's throats.
4.The cliffhanger that happens at the end of chapter 4 is that throughout the chapter, Pip is having a miserable time at his family's Christmas dinner. He is still under the spell of the convict and still obeys him, fearful by his wrods, therefore, he is still trying to steal some food from the table. The tension rises each time Pip feels his sister will find it. Even more so, the tensions rises again, more so than ever, when his sister announces they will serve the pie for the occassion. Unfortunately, the pie they were supposed to serve was given away by Pip to the convict. Pip is completely terrified and runs in horror, only to bump into an officer.
5.Pip's convict shows Pip his feelings of knowing he does not blame Pip for the search party of police after him by doing him a good favor. While the situation of Pip temporarily not fearing the up-coming rage from his sister of learning he gave the pie away, Pip's convict speaks up for him. He tells the police officer that he stole some food from Pip's house, therefore saving Pip any blame, consequences or unimaginable results from Pip's Mrs.Joe.
