A Great And Horrible Beauty Essay

I picked the book called “Find Me” by Romily Bernard, because my favorite genre of books are mystery. I liked how the cover had a face in the background of it, you could tell it was a girl face because of the hair. The cover also had “Find Me” written all over it, so it made the book stand out a lot. My first impression on the book was that it was going to be a good mystery book just by the cover of it.

Using vivid imagery, Charles Dickens provides an in depth setting and mindset of Pip to describe his feelings for Estella and his longing to be in the higher class alongside her. “ … and that Estella was walking away from me even then.
