The interaction between Pip and Jaggers

Next
adapted from Great Expectations
by Charles Dickens
"My name," he said, "Is Jaggers, and I am a lawyer in
London. I have unusual business to conduct with you. Now,
Joseph Gargery, I am the bearer of an offer to relieve you of
this young fellow, Pip, your apprentice."
Joe and I gasped and looked at one another.
"I am instructed to communicate to him," said Mr.
Jaggers, throwing his finger at me sideways, "that he will
come into a fine piece of property. Further, that it is the
desire of the present possessor of that property, that he be
immediately removed from his present sphere of life, and
from this place, and be brought up as a gentleman-ina
word, as a young fellow of great expectations."
My dream was out Miss Havisham was going to make my
fortune on a grand scale.
"Now, Mr. Pip," pursued the lawyer, address the rest of
what I have to say, to you. You are to understand, first, that
it is the request of the person from whom I take my
Instructions that you always bear the name of Pip. You will
have no objection, I dare say, to your great expectations
being weighed down with that easy condition. But if you
have any objection, this is the time to mention it."

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
