Real paragraph:
"my father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name being "Philip", my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more expicit than Pip. So, i called myself Pip and came to be called Pip."
The same could be said for this paragraph, but in a much less discriptive way:
"When i was a baby, it was hard for me to say my first or last name. I could only say "Pip" in refference to myself. So i called myself that, and people called me that."
that's more descriptive than the one i posted first, and a less dramatic way of making my point. Which of the two paragraphs do you prefer?
