Photo comparison

For my photo, I chose a picture of a small plant in some soil.

The connection is fairly obvious. Pip was like a small seed in the beginning of the novel, but he wanted to grow into something larger. He wanted to become a huge tree like one of the Redwoods. The problem was that he couldn't grow without a base, without soil to sustain him. When he got his inheritance, thats what he got, a base that would let him have the potential to grow over time and become strong. The money he recieved let him become part of the upper class like he had always wanted, and due to that he became "strong" and grew.

Of course, you must also consider what becomes of a plant if the soil runs out of nutrients and the rain stops falling to replenish it as it wilts.
