"One black ox, with a white cravat on-who even had to my awakened conscience something of a clerical air-fixed me so obstinately with his eyes, and moved his blunt head round in such an accusatory manner as I moved round, that I blubbered out to him, 'I couldn't help it, sir! It wasn't for myself I took it!' Upon which he put down his head, blew a cloud of smoke out of his nose, and vanished with a kick-up of his hind-legs and a flourish of his tail." (page 15, Chapter 3)
This whole passage just kind of threw me off while I was reading. A couple questions I specifically had about it are...
1. Did this actually happen? I felt like the way it was written that Pip was dreaming or imagining.
2. Is this symbolism for something? I mean why would he just put that specific part in there? I felt it was a little odd.
Hopefully you can answer my questions!
Thanks!

Group Essay Collaboration
Kylie and Kelsey,
My body paragraph (on pursuit of pleasure) hasn't changed from what you saw on Friday. I made slight alterations in word choice so that it would be so repetitive, mainly synonyms for "deception". I have found that world coming up A LOT in our paper as a whole but also in my separate paragraph. KELSEY, Kylie and I have not seen your body paragraph! This would be super helpful for you to post so that we know how it ties in and what/who you are writing about.If you could post it or email it to me that would be great. Kylie, you said you weren't going to be in class on Monday so would it be possible for you to post/email me your body paragraph? So Kesley and I can put the paper together even though you won't be there.
If we have all of that we should be fine, we do have our introduction but we still haven't finished our conclusion!
We should try and finish it through the blog so that we at least have the majority of it complete!
Please comment and reply on this post!
If you need to email me anything my email is emm.jaqs@gmail.com
Thanks.
