I chose a picture of a wooden signpost because the signpost in the story is the object that Pip touches as he leaves his home and all that he's ever known. He never cried before about his coming trip to London or his leaving of Joe and Biddy, but as he's walking alone and he finally realizes all that he's giving up he stops by a wooden signpost and finally cries and feels his emotions about going somewhere new with a possibility of never returning. He may have always wanted to leave but he realizes the good things about his life just as he loses it all. The signpost represents his leaving and his accepting of that fact. The signpost is the place and the thing to which he reveals his true emotions.
