From the Paper:

Great literature reaches out and touches us in ways that more pedestrian material cannot; it also teaches us things that we might not learn otherwise. For me, one of the most powerful works I have ever read was Charles Dickens' classic, Great Expectations; it is, without a doubt, one of the most insightful books about human beings and about the messy process of coming-of-age that one will ever encounter. What makes the book great is that it reveals so much about so many things. In Pip, we see a mal-treated boy who has ambitious dreams but who often wonders if he can ever achieve the social status and prominence necessary
