The theme for my Carnival Band 2004 is "Grandma's Big Beautiful Safe House for Child Protection.". It is located in Mount Gommery, Bethel Village, Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago.
The overtone of this portrayal is adult child protection issues against kidnapping, child-trafficking and the courage to heal...the voice of survivors crying in the wilderness!

This author charts the progress of Pip (alias John-John 2003)from childhood through often painful experiences to adulthood, as he moves from the Kent marshes to busy, commercial London, encountering a variety of extraordinary characters ranging from Magwich, the main escaped convict, to Miss Havisham, a foster-mother living with beautiful Estella. Whose child was Estella?
Estella was brainwashed and "pre-programmed" for Pip by Ms. Havisham and a large sum of money was left for Pip by a benefactor, Magwich-Great Expectations! Estella is indeed the biological daughter of Magwich! Who is the biological mother of Estella? Is Mr. Jaggers the attorney(abogado) and law guardian of Pip?
Did Pip become a lawyer too...who is the best friend of Pip?
On his death bed in prison, Magwich was told that Estella was his daughter. Pip told him! Pip did his own investigation and used his critical-thinking skills to uncover secrets and find his "roots" or heritage. He has his own values and discovered his true self, his priorities and whether such values will allow one to prosper in the complex world of early Victorian England. This is the major question posed by Charles Dickens in this disturbing novel, intended to lead to a breech of international peace. Was Estella's biological mother the hired maid of the attorney Jaggers who acquitted her for murder of another woman? Jealousy caused that murder!
Did Estella know of this fact? Let's examine the relationship between the two convicts Magwich and Compeyson as the story unfolds. Did Mr. Jaggers, the lawyer practice his profession according to ethics of the career or did he seek his own interest? Can the same lawyer represent both sides or "cross the floor"?
Home-Lesson: Compare the autobiography of Pip and John-John (2004) focusing on the latter moving from Spain to France. He had to learn to speak two languages. The author of this web page is the mother of John-John and his father is a pain-management specialist.

documents specified seven counts alleging lewd or lascivious acts upon a child
under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent.
