Great Expectations #2.

In the first book of Great Expectations, we come across many characters with interesting names. One of these characters that particularly stands out to me is Estella. Her name is abrupt sounding, it does not roll off the tongue. It also sounds harsh and tempered.  "With this boy! Why, he is a common laboring-boy!" (Page 60) Estella said disdainfully. In this quote, she is being rude to Pip and not respecting him. Estella is calling him a poor, lower class boy. The real meaning of the name Estella, means Star. When I hear this, I first think of something pretty and twinkling in the sky. Then, when I think about it more, a burning gas pops into my mind. I do not think that that sounds too elegant and nice. Just like Estella, she is pretty and nice on the outside, but on the inside, she is just a bunch of mean comments, ready to spill out.
