GE: Choice or Chance?

I'm fairly sure the context of this assignment that Pip had just been made Joe's apprentice
Pip is in kind of a tough spot. He's doing what he wanted long ago, but he was forced into it, and he's seen "the light" of reality. Because now between twelve and fourteen, and if people our age [at the time this was written] haven't changed over the last two hundred years or so, if adults "strongly suggest" something, they [the young people] won't wnat to do it; even if it means changin past dreams. Because Pumblechook "strongly suggested" Pip ge Joe's apprentice, and Pip "strongly disliking" Pumblechook, naturally he's going to resent everything he [Pumblechook] suggests.
Generally things that determine a person's class is income and occupation. It depends on a person's situation if they can change these or not. If a person is really determined to, they could possibly change some aspect of their life. But you would need lots of time, patience, and sometimes lots of money to change their entire life. And sometimes a stroke of luck.
In life, it's a combination of both decisions and some luck. If I relied heavilly on luck, if anyone did, I wouldn't do anything. Nothing good would happen, nothing that lasted anyway. But someluck with decisions is good from time to time.
The conflict between fate and free will is universal. Through Pip, Dickens shows that he believes in free will. Based on personal experiance, I agree with Dickens. For most people, what they become in life is a matter of individual choice with a small bit of luck.
