supporting examples or quotes from the book to aid in the summation please.

Pip's personality, like all of us, is formed from the many experiences and people he encounters in his life. Obviously, Joe contributes to Pip's caring and kindness. Even when Pip has been unkind to him, Joe takes care of Pip and pays his debts. Miss Havisham contributes to his expectations, She taunts him with Estella who contributes to both his sense of love and also abandonment. In addition, Magwitch makes it possible for Pip to have more "expectations" when he decides to make Pip a gentleman. This causes Pip to become more of a snob than a true gentleman. In the end, because of all of his experiences, he realizes who his true friends are when all of his "expectations" and money are gone. But that is the point of the book, which is really a coming=of-age novel.
