How would I write a letter as Pip, apologizing for leaving Joe behind and for getting caught up in a world that is unworthy of Joe's values?By the...

We can't write a letter for you. Our service is to offer
advice as to how to complete your work, not to do it for
you.


If you have to write a letter to Joe, I think it would
certainly have a tone in it that notes that Joe is right and Pip has been wrong. I think
Pip would focus on the facts that he got carried away with the idea that he could have
been destined for Estella and a finer, more luxurious lifestyle. He might have thought
this because Miss Havisham kept inviting him over as a kid, and even as he got older,
they had opportunities to get together that didn't reveal she
wasn't his benefactor.


Pip might also
write about how his choice to often stay at the Blue Boar instead of Joe's house was
really arrogant. Pip would probably use many words similar to arrogant to express the
way he has treated Joe.


Pip would likely also note that in
spite of his failure to be kind to Joe, Joe has remained kind as evidenced by him taking
care of Pip when Pip grew sick. Pip should be grateful for Joe not holding anything
against him.
