I can say that there aren't enough time for reading, for looking every new word through the dictionary (and I really don't like it). But by degrees I read the book and now I'm ready to depict the characters.
The main character of the book is Pip, whose real name is Philip Pirrip. His is a little boy, an orphan who never said his parent. His Father Philip and mother - Georgiana were dead and their other children - Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger died too. 

Now poor child lives with his sister and her husband. His sister has got black hair and eyes.She is tall and bony. She is more than twenty years ilder then her young brother. Pip tells that his sister is somewhat plein and he doesn't understand how Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, a handsome man, "Joe was a fair man, with curls of flaxen hair on each side of his smooth face, and with eyes of such a very undecided blue that they seemed to have somehow got mixed with their own whites" could marry her. 

Very often Pip converse with Joe, the little boy helps him with good words and advices. 

In the first chapter of the "Great Expextation" Pip meets in the graveyard a strange man. 

The author tells us that he is a fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. Pip is afraid of this man. This man is indefferent towards little orphan and is rude with him.

I will read more and more and will try to ubderstand who ia who in this book!
