We read to know we’re not alone

[Soojin]

Mr. Joe, who was Pip’s older sister’s husband, helped him when he got into trouble with Mrs. Joe, and he soothed him when Pip was in grief. This has helped me remember that we are never alone.

I think all of Dicken's books help us remember that in one way or another. It's why he appeals to so many for such a long time.

Joe is one of my favorite literary characters. Everyone needs someone like Joe in their lives.

Joe, a great man, gentleman and friend. When Pip was in the big house and Joe cleared him, it reminded me about true friendship.
