Answer 1

From chapter 19 (the page number will differ with various editions of the book): "I was to leave our village at five in the morning, carrying my little hand-portmanteau, and I had told Joe that I wished to walk away all alone. I am afraid - sore afraid - that this purpose originated in my sense of the contrast there would be between me and Joe, if we went to the coach together. I had pretended with myself that there was nothing of this taint in the arrangement; but when I went up to my little room on this last night, I felt compelled to admit that it might be so, and had an impulse upon me to go down again and entreat Joe to walk with me in the morning. I did not." This takes place when Pip is to go to London to begin learning to be an educated gentleman of means. Here he is showing he has already started to be embarrassed and ashamed of poor, low class, uneducated but excellent Joe. This is significant because you see the beginnings of the change in Pip due to his "expectations." The very beginning came with Estella, who obviously thought of Pip as coarse and beneath her; the potential for a new and higher class life solidified the change in Pip.

I've spotted you one quote. This site http://www.online-literature.com/dickens... - if you search through it, will give you the second (it will allow you to search for words or phrases in the story, as well as read the entire book).

I don't know of a site that will explain each and every quote. Yahoo Education http://education.yahoo.com/homework_help... may help you understand certain things better.

I hope this helps.
