What Pip is referring to is that fateful first day at Miss Havisham's house. It was on this day that the wheel in his head started turning. That he first thought about his commonplace life, and how Miss Havisham and Estella are "better than him." He was so altered by this that he became ashamed of his home. He was fearful that Estella would see him working as a blacksmith and look down upon him (more so than she already did) Pip didn't want his life anymore. He started thinking about how he wanted to be a gentleman. He started thinking of how he was different.
A similar thing happen to me at the start of seventh grade. you see, I was homeschooled up until that day and I was a very socially awkward girl. I was weird and new. For the first part of seventh grade, I was very ashamed of who I was. I was also very naive, so I didn't realize what I was doing that repelled others. However, the first day this new girl came to my school, I thought how it could all be better. That this girl didn't know me, so I could try it again. It was because of her that I was able to except myself.

The Importance Of Being Earnest essay
So for my transition sentence, I have something like this; "Even though the different stages of dishonesty are important to the theme and the plot, the title is a vital contrast to the entire play.”
One of my concrete details is the last sentence when Jack says “I’ve now realized for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest.” then I will go on to talk about how that sums up the entire play by acting as a moral for it, proving the significance of the title.
The second one is how Miss Prism loses the baby. I am using this so I can talk about how is really is important to be honest and truthful because the baby could have died because Miss Prism wasn’t truthful.
And the last point I will hit in my paragraph is How Gwen and Cecily were fighting about who really is Ernest. If Jack and Algy were earnest in the first place, they could have avoided all of this and not have hurt the people they love.
