Brothers From Different Mothers




When Pip moves to London, he meets the boy he beat up un his childhood, previously known as "the pale young gentleman."  He and Herbert Pocket become good friends as they live together and expirince their first time on their own together. Pip and Herbert meet members of the other's family, share secrets and ideas and even financially support eachother.  Herbert is an aspiring business man and confides his dreams to Pip.  After living together for a few years,  the two young men are very close and Pip feels the need to help fuel Herbert's wishes.  Pip works with Wemmick to secretly give Herbert the money so he can build his business.  When Herbert receives this money, he is extremely happy and Pip has a hard time not expressing his deep joy to see his friend's dream come true.  They have a special bond that only some outside of an immediate family have.  Pip also says that if he and Herbert weren't so attached to eachother, they would be sick of eachother which means they have a strong connection and respect eachother.  When I Googled "brothers" one of the things that came up were the Super Mario Brothers.  I thought this was a good choice because these brothers have gone through a lot together such as crazy turtles, mushroom men and animated venus fly traps.  They have to have a lot of trust and compassion to go through all of that together which is similar to Pip and Herbert's relationship.
