This is a summary of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens Chapter 5 , 6 & 7

Chapter 5 : Chapter 5 starts with the soldiers at the door because they want the Joe to fix the handcuffs . This stops the dinner party which is good for Pip because they was just about to get the pork pot pie that he stole . Mr. Hubble , Joe and Pip go with the soldiers to get the escaped convicts . Pip’s prisoner lies for him when he’s caught saying that he stole the tools and food so Pip won’t get in trouble .

Chapter 6 : Chapter 6 is about Pip , Mr . Hubble and Joe on their way back and Pip thinking about if Joe knew what he did and what he’d think of him.

Chapter 7 : In Chapter 7 they return home and we learn about Joe’s childhood and how he can’t read . We learn that Joe still thinks his father is a good man at heart and defends him after all the bad he did. And at the end of the chapter we learn that a Mrs. Havisham (who’s very wealthy) wants Pip to come and ride a chaise car with her.
