Connections
Chapters 27 and 28 in Great Expectations connects to both "The Judgement" and the "The Metamorphosis". First off, these two chapters as well as the rest of the book of Great Expectations relates to "The Metamorphosis" because in the short story Gregor remains isolated in his bedroom and doesn't really have any contact with his family when he is turned into a bug. This idea connects to Pip because in London, Pip is isolated from all his family back at home until Joe comes to give him a visit. Also, Great Expectations connects to "The Judgement" by both figures Georg and Pip having father figures looking over them. For Pip its Joe, who isn't his real father, and Georg's its his real father whom is really demanding. Even though Pip doesn't live with his father figure like Georg, he goes to visit Joe and his family and Joe comes to visit him.

I agree with the statement of isolation between gregor and pip. Pip doesn't get to see his family because they are back home and Gregor chooses to isolate due to the fact that was turned into a bug. I also for the most part agree with the father figures although i feel like Joe also a friend to Pip but for Gregor his father is just a father figure not a friend.
