He based the character Pip in remembrance of himself as

War is thrilling; war is drudgery. War makes you a man; war makes you dead.” (80) This passage is very significant to the reality of the soldiers in the Vietnam War and brings to life the setting of the entire novel.

It seems as though she almost feels obligated to feel discriminated because of her ethnic background
