Great Expectations - Question about a Passage

For Mrs. Gilman, thanks again for allowing me to post the blog late!

While reading Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens I've been filled with confusion throughout the book. So any guidance would be appreciated!

My questions are: Why is Pip referring to one of the convicts as his own? Is the author trying to convey some underlying message or even foreshadow things later to come? Also, of the two which is actually his own convict? Are there any distinctive traits between them?

This quote mostly refers to the first question: "... men went down into the ditch to help the sergeant and dragged out, separated, my convict and the other one..." p.34

Group Essay Collaboration

Dear Kayla and Catherine,
First I'd like to ask how your weekend has been? I hope your enjoying and spending your time wisely. To start off with, there isn't anything new with my paragraph since I haven't touched it since Friday. I plan on fine tuning everything for Monday and also added the conclusion and the transition between paragrph which I think I will need lots of help! I have an idea of what my transtion between paragragh should be, still a little sketchy though. Good Luck, and I'll see you on Monday!!! From reading Catherine's I need to know if anyone has an aphorism, since I have an epigram? Any ideas on how to wrap up the paragraph? Kayla I need you to email/facebook your pragraph to me! Thanks:)
