Shawshak Redemption- main character analysis

The title of the movie means that it is a prison where salvation for sin through Jesus’ sacrifice. One of the examples that describe the title is- Andy was sent to the prison thinking that he had his wife and her lover, while he was innocent and when he found out he was innocent he finds his way for freedom and goes to the bank and takes the amount of money Warden Norton obtained illegally (financial corruption).

In the movie there a quite a lot main character but the main once are:-

Warden Norton- he was the director of the prison. He used to say to his prisoners that he only believed in two things and they were Bible and discipline. He also killed a young man called Tommy because Tommy knew Andy was innocent and he was ready to do anything in order to save Andy, while Warden didn’t want Andy to get out. The reason behind this was because Andy had laundered his dirty money and had managed to create a bank account where he kept all the money. When Andy came to know that Tommy was killed, he escapes from the prison and he also takes revenge on Warden by taking all Norton’s money. Warden Norton kills himself when police came to arrest him after Andy had escaped. Norton also used his prisoners in cheap prison labor, out of that he made a lot of money. At times he also over used his power.

Andy Dufresne- (Primary character) - He was accused of killing his wife and her lover. Andy was innocent unlike other friends of his. He was quite close to this guy named Red when he spent 19 years in the prison. Andy used the rock hammer to shape himself the pieces of chess set. While carving his name on the wall he realizes that the cell walls aren’t strong. During the 19 years he cuts a tunnel through the cell, to get out of the prison and start a new life in the world outside. Andy takes the entire Norton’s money to start a new life for him, with his new identity he settles in Mexico.

I thought this was a very interesting movie. I really like the movies.

Valentines Day!

Are you one of those who get nervous if you are going to get a rose from someone or not? You may also be daydreaming thinking if have any secret admirer isn’t?

Well, Valentines Day is not only about couples… it is a very important day where you can express you love towards anyone. Lets say maybe towards any of your family member and in order to make them happy you go and buy gifts for them and treat them in more special way than you used to treat them and make them feel loved and let them also release that there is someone out there who cares about them and love them like no matter what happens.

You can also make friends with your enemies. There is no reason why you want to have someone the only reason that you might hate them is because you are jealous of them.

Valentines Day is one of the days that you make the most out of it. You can have as much fun as you want… what I mean is that even though you don’t love someone but he/ she is your friend and you want to have some fun with them than you can just send some flowers along with a note with reads “ FROM ANONYMOUS”.

It is a day whose memories can be treasured. It will be really great to look at it or remember it in the future. I would really say you don’t need a boyfriend in order to celebrate this day. You can celebrate it with your loved ones…with those people who are your rather than the person who you are not even sure if he/she is your. You will make the most of it if you specially celebrate this day with you family.

New Student and new school

Do you know the feeling of being the new student in a place where you don’t know anyone, everything around you is new? Are you one of them so doesn’t like changes in your life? Well, you know changes are good and you experience new things but I am some one who doesn’t like moving from one school to another though I like to travel from one country to another.

One of the things that I hate the most in my life is being a new student in a new school where there are unknown people….. You know how scary that is. Once I get used to the place and settle down I still some times have trouble making friends though surprisingly in ISOI I have managed to make some good friends in a short time. I think the hardest part of changing schools is you have to start everything all over again….get used to the system, make friends and get to know your teachers.

I was really amazed with myself because I have managed to settle down properly, managed to make new friends and I am getting used to the place….. The reason why I am saying this is because I always have trouble settling down in a new place and I always get homesick.

What I have learned from all the experience I had I guess I can say you change as the time passes, and you also have to change as time changes otherwise you will be left behind while others will move on. That’s the reason why I managed to change myself.
