Great Expectations (sequel)
by Alex Andy Phuong

Pip was a common laboring boy.  He met a haughty named Estella.  After the events of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations, years have passed, and Pip changed this first name to Finn because he thought that “Pip” became outdated.  He abandoned Estella because she really was not that “hot” as time went by, and then he hooked up with a blonde chick named “Viola” from Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare.  Nevertheless, Pip was still a humble common laboring boy, except now he was a man instead of the child that Estella tortured when they were young.  Pip still works hard at home and at any profession that he tried to do his best, and he reminded himself that working at home and in life meant that he fulfilled his own “Great Expectations.”
