In the quote, Pip is refering to his first visit with Miss Havisham. She shows him the finery and Estalla refuses to play with hhim "because he is commen". This permently changes him because after his experiance among Estella and Mrss Havisham, he starts to see himself as commen and residing in a commen society. He becomes ashamed of his home, his sister and Joe and doesn't want Estella to see him there under any curcumstances. Also, when he starts apprenticing Joe in the forage, he downcast and reluctent and only stays at the forage because he doesn't want to hurt Joe. Suddenly Pip doesn't want to live the dreams he had dreamed before his visit.
A similar experience I had was in 2004. I was eight years old and my family and I lived in Spokane. I was raised in a christion home, so every sunday we would go to church. One Sunday, the paster was telling us about how everyone needs Jesus. He said that we needed him because we are all sinners. Even if we live the best life and do all the good works in the world, we are still seperated from God because he can only be around prefection. However, he longed to be with us and to spend eternity with us. So God sent his one and only son to die for us to forgive us from our sins. After three days he rise his son up from the dead and conqured death once and for all. He showed that he was supreme, and that is when I gave my life to Christ. That moment changed my life forever. Now I was living for a whole new mission: to endwell Christ on this life and I could not go back to my old ways. Of corse, I am only human and I often make mistakes and don't often endwell Christ even though that is my goal and my disire.
