Making Connections in Great Expectations

Great Expectations weirdly relates to Mean Girls.  Pip like Cady Heron, used to be a kind, innocent character.  However, as the story goes on both characters take a turn for the worse.  Pip and Cady both become greedy and ignore the things and people that used to be important to them.  As both the reader of Great Expectations and the people watching Mean Girls are forced to sit through several chapters or minutes of watching these characters be horrible people, we are forced to think about what is really important, as it is easy to see just how terrible we can really be when we watch someone else who has quickly changed.  Both Cady and Pip end up getting a much needed wake up call in the end, and learn what is truly important.
