For chapter 7 I chose the couplet "...whatsume'er the failings on his part, remember reader he were that good in his hart." (pg. 42) This couplet was very clever thing to come up with on Joe's part, especially since he never went to much school and came up with it all by himself.
For chapter 8 I liked the quote "Her contempt for me was so strong that it became infectious, and I caught it." (pg. 55) because that was a main role with one of the characters in the book and it can be a true fact in real life as well.
For chapter 9 I liked the quote "If you can't get to be oncommon through going straight, you'll never get to it through going crooked." (pg. 65) because it is great advice and very thoughtful of a quote, once again, from Joe.
For chapter 10 I enjoyed the quote "...and then he made his shot, and a most extraordinary shot it was." (pg. 71) because it showed the impact it made on Pip at that one moment. The action of the stranger caught Pip quite hard by surprise and this is able to show that in one sentence.
For chapter 11 I chose the quote "The mice have gnawed at it, and sharper teeth than teeth of mice have gnawed at me." (pg. 81) because it was an interesting comparison the old lady made between mice teeth and life. You can see from this statement that life had not been good to her at one time or another.
