It shows in the movie other characters losing hope and seeing where that gets them vs. other characters that have hope and believe in it that make it further than the rest of them. For example Crooks is one of the characters that had lost hope or he just wasn’t meant to go any further not everybody is meant to go further. He loses hope after being in a situation he isn’t familiar with at all a whole new world he had to try and adapt to but just wasn’t capable of doing so. A character that has hope is Andy because he eventually found purpose in the prison aka escaping the prison and making it to the pacific where there is no memory. Andy finds hope and purpose while making the chess p\ieces not to mention the library and getting money for the library. Helping people get their gpa. Made the warden of the prison a millionaire all while planning to escape. How insane. I think him being in the hole for two months definitely helped him think it all out for sure. Red finds hope by helping fellow inmates get things they want Andy, his posters and his rocks so he can carve his chess pieces with the hammer so he can carve his chess piece not to mention that hole in the wall. The promise he made to Andy gave Red hope reading the letter gave him even more purpose and willingness to go furhter. Andy gave himself hope for escaping by the fake name and knowing the cracks in money and law which gave him plenty of purpose to escape and get the money away from the warden. Talk about Karma. It’s insane how he was able to keep it to himself but he knows better by that point to just tell anyone. I think he knew Red would think it was a bad idea. Hope gave Andy the capability to escape and climb through three football fields worth of feces gross. Andy getting the warden to trust him completely I think the hole and the warden killed Tommy gave Andy another reason to escape and leave. Giving someone purpose gives them hope that's how Red and Andy got so far was because of that. They felt they had purpose. Andy knew he had purpose outside the prison and he got there with his boat and waited and hoped Red would join him and keep his promise. Neither of them knew if they were telling the truth or not but they just believed in one another so they could be together again. People can give others purpose and hope to imagine that. Andy and Red gave each other hope. Zody
at first, we have no hope for andy and think he is the killer. he goes to jail, he doesn't talk to anyone or really does anything. all he wanted as his rocks at. and the sisters go after him, we still don't really get any hope for him till they get the chance to go work outside then andy hears about the guards' money problems and wants to help. well, that didn't work so well in the bringing because the guards didn't believe him and thought he just wanted to mess with him. but not long after andy is helping all the guards and we finally get some hope that he isn't going to get raped and killed someday. he even helps the warrant. we finally see him and his friendship with red grow. he starts being friends with others and gets better. then Tim or whatever his name came he wanted to get better and learn more. and he was not to bad, he was actually pretty good for his state. we get more and more hope then Tim starts talking about his last roommate who was the one who actually killed andys wife and lover. then andy has so so so much hope and he goes to start the warrant. but the warrant wants him to stay here so he can get more money. he ends up putting andy in the hole for 2 months. then we think it is the breaking point and that he gives up. but nope he gets to go and so does red. and in the end, they meet again.
‘The Shawshank Redemption’ directed by Frank Darabont and written by Stephen King is a movie that uses the concept of hope as one of its main themes. We first see hope in our protagonist, Andy, as he is one of the only people to not shed a tear on his first day of being there and the subsequent days after as he holds hope that they will eventually find him not guilty. There also seems to be a clashing between hope itself and Shawshank, with Red, the narrator, and deuteragonist, claiming that Shawshank has the tendency to crush a man’s hope. His words are especially apparent when he is approved for parole, for years he’s treated the parole hearing as a sort of performance, saying a scripted line with the hopes of winning the guards. It is only until he drops this facade and shows his loss of hope and frustration with his somewhat monotonous routine hearing that he is given parole. Hope is a driving force for most of the prisoners and it's through the interactions and punishments that they realize although hope might feel positive, it’s a feeling that can also have negative consequences. The prisoners react to Brooks’s, a fellow prisoner, death in a state between awe and sadness. Andy and Red have a back and forth about hope and it’s futility and institutionalization and Andy brings up Brooks as an example of hope’s dangerous nature which makes Red angry as he becomes mute and returns to eating his food. Next, we meet Tommy, a youngin who was in and out of the prison system, with hopes of getting a GED and taking the relationship with his significant other seriously. He is a hopeful young man, and that puts a smile on the face of the main crew as they openly welcome him into their inner circle. It’s through their friendly and positive demeanor towards Tommy that we see that hopefulness is a trait that is still gratefully appreciated within this prison. Again, we also see a similar situation to Red’s loss of hope as we do with Tommy. Tommy takes his board of education test and it’s through his frustration and loss of hope of ever amounting to anything that he believes he has failed. Of course, he hasn’t failed and has passed with a C average, re-igniting his hope. He returns the favor to his teacher by sharing an anecdote about a conversation between himself and an inmate in a previous prison. The inmate boasts about getting away with murder, with the details accurately matching the crime that Andy was unrightfully locked up for. Andy with his new sense of hope goes to the warden to try to possibly work out a re-trial. The warden, of course, denies this offer in order to keep Andy as he is an important asset and puts him into a few months of solitary confinement in order to crush any hope Andy has of getting out. The warden takes this a step further and kills Tommy, a hopeful man who’s flame was put out prematurely in order to eliminate the optimism of another prisoner and punish them for what the warden saw as a transgression. In the end, Andy and Red leave the prison by different means. Red was right, he himself had become institutionalized like the late Brooks but in his state of confusion, loss, and hopelessness, he realizes he has one more purpose to keep him going. That purpose is to fulfill the promise he left to Andy. With this realization, he travels to Zihuatanejo and they reunite.
The narrative about hope in this movie is about finding other ways and not giving up when things do not go as they plan they do. Hope not only gives you a chance to succeed but leads to other options that still help you succeed. In the movie Andy had been making a plan to escape all along. When Tommy arrived and told a story about an inmate who murdered the type of people that Andy was accused of and found guilty of. That was the moment of chance for Andy, but the Warden took it away from him and it made the audience believe that there is no hope after all. When the audience discovered that Andy escaped they changed their mind and realized that there’s always hope when other hope and chances are lost. Not only did Andy give hope to himself he made prisoners including Red have no loss in hope. After Red felt like there’s hope, he gained courage to the board and got himself out and rejoined Andy where they didn't have to worry about a thing. I will always remember that there’s another chance of hope even if you think you’ve lost it all. The people who watched The Shawshank Redemption for the first time will believe everything about the concept of hope just like me when I first watched it. This will not only make people believe it might possibly change their life and make it good for themselves. It has already changed my life and my hope is to become a screenwriter and possibly director if I get as far as I can. Steven Spielberg made a ton of crappy short films and thought about not having hop but he didn’t want to give up on it. He listened to the criticism and got a little better at the short films and he got a big opportunity to direct tv movies that became a success and then he did Jaws and that was the beginning of his big career and it worked. Not only do you have to think about hope all the time, you have to worry about doing things instead of thinking about that and is what I’m doing not thinking/dreaming about becoming part of Hollywood, I’m just doing the things that I’m doing with some hope. I also hope that’s happening with my classmates who’ve seen it or have now just seen it for the first time. Now that is the entire concept of hope for the movie and possibly for people’s lives as well and this movie made it even more believable.
How is this movie about hope? There are multiple ways that this narrative is about hope. At the beginning of the movie Andy had hope that he would win to make sure that he won't be put in prison. There are also parts of the movie when there wasn’t a lot of hope. The part when the old guy killed himself. The reason why I think this is because he doesn't think that he can live in the “outside world.” He had no hope that he would survive in the “outside world.” Another time when there wasn’t much hope was when Red was talking to Andy when Red said that hope is a bad thing and that it would get you killed. Another time when I think that there is little or no hope is in prison because they think that they are going to be there the rest of their lives. More parts with hope is when Andy gets beers for his other “co-workers” when he makes a deal with the leading guard to do his taxes returns. Another time when I see hope is when Andy gets out of the 500 yard pipeline and ends up in a small river. He is free again and there is hope that he can live the way that he wants to and be with his friend, Red. Another time when there is hope is when Red finds the rock and the money. There is hope when Red sees Andy on a boat at the shore line.
How is this narrative about hope? It is about hope because it showed that hope was a real thing many times in the narrative. The director wanted to see that Andy had hope and you could see it. Andy had a lot of hope because when that new prisoner Tommy told him that someone else killed his wife and the professional golf player, you could see that he had hope about getting out of the prison but the warden didn’t care because he wanted Andy to stay so he could make him millions. But Andy ticked off the warden by calling him obtuse and got a month in the hole. After he spent a month in the hole, Andy got another month because he still wouldn’t make the warden money, after two months Andy had hoped that he would get out no matter what he had to do. Red is another person who had hope in the narrative. Red’s hope was a little different from Andy’s, what I mean by that is that he had parole. Andy gave Red hope and a new start to life. He asked if he wanted to help him with his hotel and boat down in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. He kept talking about Zihuatanejo to Red. During the beginning of the narrative Red said hope is a dangerous/ evil thing. He basically means that hope can get you killed. Many characters in the narrative had hope and most of them died like Tommy hoped that he got the chance to get Andy out by testifying that Andy didn’t kill his wife and the pro golf player. Brooks also hoped that he would commit a crime and stay with his friends.
Hope, in itself. A very simple but powerful thing for many people all over the world. Some may either lose or gain hope from others or something else. Some may earn hope by listening or witnessing a motivational speech by someone or find hope in life and other things by the small things that make sure we don't truly lose it all. Some people may see hope as a truly good thing in all of humanity, many conflicts of a massive scale were won by those who hold onto their hope. I believe that this is the main theme of Shawshank Redemption.
I believe that Hope in itself is the main theme and message in Shawshank Redemption. A film about the Hope of finding redemption for your actions and redeeming others who had done some bad things in their lives. We see the concept of redemption and hope in Andy and Red throughout the entire movie about their struggles and efforts to eventually find redemption and leave the jail and re-enter the real world once again. Andy seems to be the one who had the most hope of finding redemption and hope to escape the prison. While Red is more pessimistic about hope and fears that he would never again be able to re-enter society after being in prison for so long now, he held some shreds of hope one day, to be reunited with Andy once again. Outside of the jail, no longer be afraid of the guards punishing them, getting assaulted by other inmates, and many more themes.
How is the neartive about this whole time andy knows that hes innocent he s dosnt let the tings that happen to him run his life andy is a really smart man who seems to know the ends and outs of everything he makes a plans with out anyone knowing he works hard on the things any builds friends right way he builds trust with them then andy helps the guards with there money problems witch also puts them on his side almost like having the guards whelp with any problems in the prison andy start digging his tunnel with in the first year of living there i think that tunel gave him hope it was his way out he took gravel and cement out in little portions every day i feel like very time he pulls some dirt out he gets more and more hope you can just see it in andys eyes that hes not a guy who gives up to easy after being put in the pit for 2 months andy knows its time to go so he makes hes full plan before he left he talked to red he told red he had a dream beyond theses wall that he was gunna live by the ocean that the ocean wall were big like prison walls and he would feel like home when andy was at the prison he made lots of money for the warden but the money was all put under a fake name andy had a really goo plan he left the prison and used that fake name he draind all the money out of all the bank acounts and used it to get away he was able to live the life that he wanted to live the thing about hope is it wont just happen on its own you gotta push for it if you want it meier
I believe this narrative shows hope as something like desire and restlessness. When the film first starts it almost seems as if everyone has lost hope entirely but as the film progresses you can see that motivation to become better people sets in. This comes in even harder when Tommy is killed, giving Andy no hope to escape and for others to see his innocence. When the film shows how he gets a rope we instantly think the worst as he is now more trapped than ever. However, it is shown that he planned out the perfect great escape as a backup in the end. All of the picking and torcher both physically and mentally motivates him to push even harder and plan his escape while everyone else thinks he broke and was going to kill himself. He had hoped to carry on through the whole film shown in small ways such as the book in the library to the rocks to make his chess pieces. Andy no hopes to escape and for others to see his innocence. When the film shows how he gets a rope we instantly think the worst as he is now more trapped than ever. However, it is shown that he planned out the perfect great escape as a backup in the end. All the picking and torcher both physically and mentally. Other people such as the guards are thought to also have lost hope and are now taking it out on the prisoners. I believe that these were the very first people to lose hope and suffer and now take it out on to others.
Another reason that hope is lost or gained is just by the little things such as stated by Red at the beginning of the film that for a very long time he couldn't piss or do anything without asking first of all. As well as room checks and working for free not to mention they can't stand up for themselves or others. These small things like going to the bathroom talking, walking and sleeping when you want as some of the things taken away from these men and start to break them as well as the whole that is shown so many times in the film. Yet the little things such as the cafeteria, woodshop, and the library are where these men connect and somehow just get put back together and have some hope with what's going on in their lives in the prison.
In the beginning of the movie all of andy's hope disappeared, he was convicted of murder killing his wife and the man that she was cheating on him with. He got sentenced to life behind bars. At that point Andy said he did not commit the crime but he was convicted of it so he lost all hope. The first day he got put in there all the other inmates were betting on who would cry first. Red voted on Andy crying first which cost him 10 cigarettes the next day. After a little while the sister started raping Andy which most likely made Andy loose even more hope. After that Andy got a rock hammer and he started carving pieces of a chess game out of rocks. That was something Andy had to keep his mind occupied, that gave Andy little hope. A little while later the warden needed a group of inmates to do some outside work Andy, Red and a couple of other inmates were selected to work on the roof. The main guard was talking about some tax thing and Andy walked over to him and told him he could help him out but only if he gave him and his friends some beer for helping. Andy got his friends there beer which gave Andy alot of hope because he is helping them out. After that Andy was moved down to work in the library, he started doing all the guards and also the warden's financial importances. Andy sent a letter to get money for the library for years and he finally got some money which gave him hope but it was not enough so he kept sending more and more letters until they agreed to give him money all the time for the library. Soon after Andy was able to deck out the library with tons of books, desks and chairs. That gave him a lot of hope. A new inmate arrived and Andy was helping him get his high school diploma or his ged. He then told everyone about a story of his old cell mate that shocked everybody and gave Andy the most hope he has ever had. They found out Andy was actually innocent. The guards got rid of the young man by shooting him in the yard and said he was trying to escape. Andy got put in the whole for a very long time which is when he knew he had no chance of going to court to fight the case which made him lose all hope. Andy after that was able to finish digging his tunnel out of the prison he escaped and got out. He was standing in the river outside the prison and all his hope returned. jacob wolfe
Hope is helping open peoples eyes and in this case Andy did that and so did Red. Andy was the smartest guy in Shawshank and was the only one that escaped because he had hope in what he wanted to accomplish. Andy and Red were good friends during that time and whatever Andy wanted he got from red and he also outsmarted the Warden and all the guards pretty much. There are so many things to talk about in this film about hope, Red had hope in what Andy did and has done in the film and at the very end Red had so much hope that he went all the way to Zihuatanejo where Andy said he would be and he actually met up with him there. In the scene where Red goes to the rock wall to find what Andy said was there, I hoped that Red would be able to find what he was looking for and he did not only did he have a compass but he knew where to go and he did find what he was looking for and it ended up to be money and a letter and in that letter, Andy had so much hope that Red would come to where Andy told him to meet up. Also, a big part of hope in this film would be when the Warden took Tommy outside to smoke a cig and they were talking about how the Warden wanted Tommy to tell him pretty much everything, and then one of the other guys shot Tommy. I had hoped that they wouldn’t have shot him but I was wrong. Red and Andy both had hoped but had different ways of explaining it. Hope is portrayed by Andy as “a good, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” Whereas, Red believes “hope is a dangerous thing. In Andy's mind, hope creates belief, belief creates motivation, and ultimately motivation creates a call to action.
Hope is something that everyone wishes and has the ability to have. Sometimes it can be covered by a blur but you just got to plane it and try to see it. Hope gives you an opportunity to see what you are really capable of. It lets you view yourself in a different way. It lets you maintain your focus and view the other side clearly. The word hope is clearly something that motivates you and gets you moving. It’s a strong word with a lot of meaning behind it.
Like Andy, he never gave up hope because he knew that he did not kill his wife and her lover. He had more things to do in life than just sit in prison for the rest of his life, and he knew that. He planed his escape because he knew that he did not belong there with the real criminals. Since he has gotten there he had already planed his escaped and kept his mentality on point. Each day he would make a little progress by making the hole bigger for him to fig and go through. Then in the morning, he would dump the little pieces of concrete that he had hitten off the prison wall. As he was in prison he made a lot of friends and learned a lot about them and what they hoped for. In their friend group, Andy gave them hope because he was smart, respectful, and caring for others. They looked up to andy because they couldn't do what he did but try to learn from him. Andy made a library for them so they could keep their mind off prison and put their minds into another world. Red was Andys best friend and would tell him everything that was a secret. Andy trusts Red because he was a man of his word, a man that respects all others, a man that is loyal to his friends. When Andy escaped, it gave Red hope. When Red went into the room where he tries to get his releasing sentence he stopped being fake and said what he really had in mind. He got out and had to find what Andy had told him to find.
The movie shawshank redemption creates a lot of hope in a lot of scenes over this essay i will bring up which parts of the movie bring hope and explain how they bring that emotional motivation to the table. I Also want to give the definition of hope as well,which means “ an expectation or desire for something to occur or happen”. When andy gets into the prison everyone tells him that it’s normal to lose hope after years of being there. This may not be an official quote but it is represented by their words and their moods when they talk. Many people have hope for whats good and bad for them like when brooks got out, he hoped he would stay there because that is what he knows since he has been at the prison for so long. He tries to fix the problem he thinks he has with trying to kill heyworth and andy calms him down and keeps him away from the crime he was about to commit. Brooks soon loses hope after awhile when he gets out because he does not understand the world and how much it has changed plus his manager nagged him which did not help anything. If brooks would have stuck it through until red was out he might have ended up with red and andy at the end of the movie. Another example of hope was when andy played music for all the prison mates which when this event occured was happiness for once in years for everyone. That event caused hope because music can create peace,hope, and faith in bad situations. This was a courageous move but also a sign of rebellion to the guards, which ended up causing andy to get punished this was an act of trying to get andy to break. People who have been in prison for a long time do not have as much hope because they have seen mostly darkness in the prison,but if a spark of light comes in and it grows it can change those prison mates opinions like andy did people saw him as a vigilante because he is saving a lot of peoples minds. It creates a slight bit of hope because andy showed perseverance to get through all the things he was punished for and still create that spark that people need for a little positivity and hope. Prison can put people who are not religious get on their knees and pray it is a brutal place that people put themselves in and just a slight shine of light during their time there can change their whole perspective on things. Andy is that light he creates hope and faith for many of the prisoners. Andy did not deserve what he got but he still made everyone else happy at some point in the movie. Hope is a powerful thing and can be used to create a better future for people with how powerful it is.
There is a lot of hope in this film. Red, Defrane are the bestest of friends they tell each other mostly everything and they had hope the whole time they were in jail together. All they talked about was hope. They talked about Defranes dreams and how he was going to make it to those dreams and make them come true. They just had to believe. There is hope when Defrane finds the library guy and starts working with him. Defame “helps” the warden and knows what the warden is doing is wrong. Defrane makes stuff up and makes a plan to get back at him and he does when he gets out the warden kills himself because he knows what he did wrong and he does not want to be put into jail. There is hope when the guard guy goes to get Tommy and Tommy talks to the warden and then he thinks he is getting let out or something but instead the warden said to shoot him so Defrane stayed in. I would say since Red saw Andy he had hope. Red said that Andy was something different and he liked him from the start. Andy acts like he wants to do all the nice things for the warden and stuff but thats all fake because he had a plan as soon as he got to the jain. He had hope all along. I think there is hope when Andy is making chest board parts because it gives him more ideas and helps Red out. I feel that there is hope when Red gets out because Andy has hope that Red will get the note and hopefully find Andy. Andy never loses hope in entire movie. He had a plan since he got in and he stuck with it. I had a little hope when her got the tool to carve stuff with, because he was making little figures and I thought that would help them with boredom and finding a way out like Andy did. When Andy tried to carve his name into the wall but a piece of it came out it gave Andy hope because that means he found a way out and the guards would not know because of his posters.
The narrative slowly tells us that Andy (MOVIE) never gave up hope and also kept the fact that Andy held a good chunk of blackmail against the warden who used him for his money-laundering scheme and resulting in the warden to commit bullet taste testing and I hope that the warden (STILL TALKING ABOUT THE MOVIE) gets butt rushed constantly with a pitchfork for escaping his sentence. Let's talk about the bad things the warden has done to earn himself a place in hell and I’m not talking about the throne, I’m talking about the 4th circle. Let’s start with money laundering, the big one, he had Andy do all of this dirty work to make himself rich by the time he retires. The next is the refusal of a retrial, this is a big no-no, the retrial is one of the biggest things that could have set andy free from that dictator of a hell hole but the warden said “Well. I have to say, that's the most amazing story I ever heard.” and we all know that is BS, that was andy’s chance to get the hell out of dodge and the warden brushed it under the carpet like nothing f*cking happened, next is the disposal of evidence, Tommy Williams, the man was asked outside to talk to the warden asked if he would testify in court and said, “Would you be willing to swear before a judge and jury...having placed your hand on the Good Book and taken an oath before Almighty God Himself?” and Tommy replied with the single word response of yes and has the only officer that witnessed that conversation take the shot to get rid of evidence resulting in another thing to arise, he has an accomplice that knows of his dirty deeds (DONE DIRT CHEAP) and when andy broke out of prison, he drained the dummy account and sent an anonomous tip to the police that the warden at shawshank is responsible for money launderingand earned himself a 1 way ticket to to the bone zone resulting in the warden committing bullet taste testing and earned him a place amongst the other sinners in the 4th circle of hell
at first, we have no hope for andy and think he is the killer. he goes to jail, he doesn't talk to anyone or really does anything. all he wanted as his rocks at. and the sisters go after him, we still don't really get any hope for him till they get the chance to go work outside then andy hears about the guards' money problems and wants to help. well, that didn't work so well in the bringing because the guards didn't believe him and thought he just wanted to mess with him. but not long after andy is helping all the guards and we finally get some hope that he isn't going to get raped and killed someday. he even helps the warrant. we finally see him and his friendship with red grow. he starts being friends with others and gets better. then Tim or whatever his name came he wanted to get better and learn more. and he was not to bad, he was actually pretty good for his state. we get more and more hope then Tim starts talking about his last roommate who was the one who actually killed andys wife and lover. then andy has so so so much hope and he goes to start the warrant. but the warrant wants him to stay here so he can get more money. he ends up putting andy in the hole for 2 months. then we think it is the breaking point and that he gives up. but nope he gets to go and so does red. and in the end, they meet again.
The narrative is about hope because, throughout the whole film, the inmates and everyone else constantly have hope. Every time Red would go in to either get approved or rejected, it was in hope of being able to get out of there. Brooks had the hope of getting back into prison, where he felt he belonged. When Andy worked on the library, it was in hope of keeping himself happy and helping others out. When Tommy was getting his education from Andy, he was hoping to support his wife and kid when he got out. Just those alone were big things that symbolize hope throughout the film. The biggest hope in the film was when Andy found out who really killed his wife, and with Tommy to help testify, there was a chance that Andy could be proven innocent and possibly get out of prison after so many years. I believe that’s the biggest hope because with Andy being the main character, and knowing that he served so long for a crime he didn’t commit, brings a lot of hope when he finds out there’s just even a slight chance of being set free.
how is this narrative about hope? this narrative is about hope because of how Andy knew his innocence but did not have enough evidence to prove it. hope means differently between each person. hope to Red is to one day be let out to live another day. andy's hope is to get out and escape to Zihuatanejo to build up his company. Red I don't know if really had hope he tends to keep to his own group doing the same thing. but when andy got there red started to think differently and act differently. I think toward the end of the movie Red started to get hope. On Reds, the last parol meeting is when he finally got hope that his life means more. I think maybe Red did have hope when he first got here but after a couple of parole, rejections are when he kinda lost hope. The sisters I don't know if they had hope because they were defined as non-humans and I don't know if non-humans have hope for anything. The sisters are unique and I think they lost hope when they first got there if they had any to start with. And for brooks, he had hope that he would stay in prison because he is well respected and has a life there but out in the real world he is nobody and has nothing.
This is about hope in so many ways. I will tell you all about hope in this movie. First, I will tell you about hope and what it means so you can get a better understanding of what hope means. Hope means a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen or a feeling of trust. Now, in one part of the movie, Hope comes into a big play with the main guard because Andy is going to help him collect all of his money that he got from his brother-in-law. What I mean is that Andy helps him and then Andy and his co-workers get 3 beers each for what he did. Another example is when Tommy told Andy that he didn’t commit the crime of killing his wife and her lover. Andy got so much hope he went to Warden Norton to try to get another case while Tommy will testify on the behalf of Andy. But that got all shot done because Norton had one of his guards kill Tommy. They made it look like a mistake like Tommy was trying to escape the prison. Another one is when Andy tells Red to meet him in Zihuatenejo. Red was confused by the way Andy told him this. Red finally found out why he told him. Another one is that when Andy tells Red to go to the spot Andy asks his wife to marry him. The reason he did that was that Andy wanted to give money to Red and to ask him to go to the town that Andy told him. Pfeiffer

It shows in the movie other characters losing hope and seeing where that gets them vs. other characters that have hope and believe in it that make it further than the rest of them. For example Crooks is one of the characters that had lost hope or he just wasn’t meant to go any further not everybody is meant to go further. He loses hope after being in a situation he isn’t familiar with at all a whole new world he had to try and adapt to but just wasn’t capable of doing so. A character that has hope is Andy because he eventually found purpose in the prison aka escaping the prison and making it to the pacific where there is no memory. Andy finds hope and purpose while making the chess p\ieces not to mention the library and getting money for the library. Helping people get their gpa. Made the warden of the prison a millionaire all while planning to escape. How insane. I think him being in the hole for two months definitely helped him think it all out for sure. Red finds hope by helping fellow inmates get things they want Andy, his posters and his rocks so he can carve his chess pieces with the hammer so he can carve his chess piece not to mention that hole in the wall. The promise he made to Andy gave Red hope reading the letter gave him even more purpose and willingness to go furhter. Andy gave himself hope for escaping by the fake name and knowing the cracks in money and law which gave him plenty of purpose to escape and get the money away from the warden. Talk about Karma. It’s insane how he was able to keep it to himself but he knows better by that point to just tell anyone. I think he knew Red would think it was a bad idea. Hope gave Andy the capability to escape and climb through three football fields worth of feces gross. Andy getting the warden to trust him completely I think the hole and the warden killed Tommy gave Andy another reason to escape and leave. Giving someone purpose gives them hope that's how Red and Andy got so far was because of that. They felt they had purpose. Andy knew he had purpose outside the prison and he got there with his boat and waited and hoped Red would join him and keep his promise. Neither of them knew if they were telling the truth or not but they just believed in one another so they could be together again. People can give others purpose and hope to imagine that. Andy and Red gave each other hope. Zody
at first, we have no hope for andy and think he is the killer. he goes to jail, he doesn't talk to anyone or really does anything. all he wanted as his rocks at. and the sisters go after him, we still don't really get any hope for him till they get the chance to go work outside then andy hears about the guards' money problems and wants to help. well, that didn't work so well in the bringing because the guards didn't believe him and thought he just wanted to mess with him. but not long after andy is helping all the guards and we finally get some hope that he isn't going to get raped and killed someday. he even helps the warrant. we finally see him and his friendship with red grow. he starts being friends with others and gets better. then Tim or whatever his name came he wanted to get better and learn more. and he was not to bad, he was actually pretty good for his state. we get more and more hope then Tim starts talking about his last roommate who was the one who actually killed andys wife and lover. then andy has so so so much hope and he goes to start the warrant. but the warrant wants him to stay here so he can get more money. he ends up putting andy in the hole for 2 months. then we think it is the breaking point and that he gives up. but nope he gets to go and so does red. and in the end, they meet again.
‘The Shawshank Redemption’ directed by Frank Darabont and written by Stephen King is a movie that uses the concept of hope as one of its main themes. We first see hope in our protagonist, Andy, as he is one of the only people to not shed a tear on his first day of being there and the subsequent days after as he holds hope that they will eventually find him not guilty. There also seems to be a clashing between hope itself and Shawshank, with Red, the narrator, and deuteragonist, claiming that Shawshank has the tendency to crush a man’s hope. His words are especially apparent when he is approved for parole, for years he’s treated the parole hearing as a sort of performance, saying a scripted line with the hopes of winning the guards. It is only until he drops this facade and shows his loss of hope and frustration with his somewhat monotonous routine hearing that he is given parole.
Hope is a driving force for most of the prisoners and it's through the interactions and punishments that they realize although hope might feel positive, it’s a feeling that can also have negative consequences. The prisoners react to Brooks’s, a fellow prisoner, death in a state between awe and sadness. Andy and Red have a back and forth about hope and it’s futility and institutionalization and Andy brings up Brooks as an example of hope’s dangerous nature which makes Red angry as he becomes mute and returns to eating his food. Next, we meet Tommy, a youngin who was in and out of the prison system, with hopes of getting a GED and taking the relationship with his significant other seriously. He is a hopeful young man, and that puts a smile on the face of the main crew as they openly welcome him into their inner circle.
It’s through their friendly and positive demeanor towards Tommy that we see that hopefulness is a trait that is still gratefully appreciated within this prison. Again, we also see a similar situation to Red’s loss of hope as we do with Tommy. Tommy takes his board of education test and it’s through his frustration and loss of hope of ever amounting to anything that he believes he has failed. Of course, he hasn’t failed and has passed with a C average, re-igniting his hope. He returns the favor to his teacher by sharing an anecdote about a conversation between himself and an inmate in a previous prison. The inmate boasts about getting away with murder, with the details accurately matching the crime that Andy was unrightfully locked up for. Andy with his new sense of hope goes to the warden to try to possibly work out a re-trial. The warden, of course, denies this offer in order to keep Andy as he is an important asset and puts him into a few months of solitary confinement in order to crush any hope Andy has of getting out. The warden takes this a step further and kills Tommy, a hopeful man who’s flame was put out prematurely in order to eliminate the optimism of another prisoner and punish them for what the warden saw as a transgression.
In the end, Andy and Red leave the prison by different means. Red was right, he himself had become institutionalized like the late Brooks but in his state of confusion, loss, and hopelessness, he realizes he has one more purpose to keep him going. That purpose is to fulfill the promise he left to Andy. With this realization, he travels to Zihuatanejo and they reunite.
The narrative about hope in this movie is about finding other ways and not giving up when things do not go as they plan they do. Hope not only gives you a chance to succeed but leads to other options that still help you succeed. In the movie Andy had been making a plan to escape all along. When Tommy arrived and told a story about an inmate who murdered the type of people that Andy was accused of and found guilty of. That was the moment of chance for Andy, but the Warden took it away from him and it made the audience believe that there is no hope after all. When the audience discovered that Andy escaped they changed their mind and realized that there’s always hope when other hope and chances are lost. Not only did Andy give hope to himself he made prisoners including Red have no loss in hope. After Red felt like there’s hope, he gained courage to the board and got himself out and rejoined Andy where they didn't have to worry about a thing. I will always remember that there’s another chance of hope even if you think you’ve lost it all. The people who watched The Shawshank Redemption for the first time will believe everything about the concept of hope just like me when I first watched it. This will not only make people believe it might possibly change their life and make it good for themselves. It has already changed my life and my hope is to become a screenwriter and possibly director if I get as far as I can. Steven Spielberg made a ton of crappy short films and thought about not having hop but he didn’t want to give up on it. He listened to the criticism and got a little better at the short films and he got a big opportunity to direct tv movies that became a success and then he did Jaws and that was the beginning of his big career and it worked. Not only do you have to think about hope all the time, you have to worry about doing things instead of thinking about that and is what I’m doing not thinking/dreaming about becoming part of Hollywood, I’m just doing the things that I’m doing with some hope. I also hope that’s happening with my classmates who’ve seen it or have now just seen it for the first time. Now that is the entire concept of hope for the movie and possibly for people’s lives as well and this movie made it even more believable.
How is this movie about hope? There are multiple ways that this narrative is about hope. At the beginning of the movie Andy had hope that he would win to make sure that he won't be put in prison. There are also parts of the movie when there wasn’t a lot of hope. The part when the old guy killed himself. The reason why I think this is because he doesn't think that he can live in the “outside world.” He had no hope that he would survive in the “outside world.” Another time when there wasn’t much hope was when Red was talking to Andy when Red said that hope is a bad thing and that it would get you killed. Another time when I think that there is little or no hope is in prison because they think that they are going to be there the rest of their lives. More parts with hope is when Andy gets beers for his other “co-workers” when he makes a deal with the leading guard to do his taxes returns. Another time when I see hope is when Andy gets out of the 500 yard pipeline and ends up in a small river. He is free again and there is hope that he can live the way that he wants to and be with his friend, Red. Another time when there is hope is when Red finds the rock and the money. There is hope when Red sees Andy on a boat at the shore line.
How is this narrative about hope?
It is about hope because it showed that hope was a real thing many times in the narrative. The director wanted to see that Andy had hope and you could see it. Andy had a lot of hope because when that new prisoner Tommy told him that someone else killed his wife and the professional golf player, you could see that he had hope about getting out of the prison but the warden didn’t care because he wanted Andy to stay so he could make him millions. But Andy ticked off the warden by calling him obtuse and got a month in the hole. After he spent a month in the hole, Andy got another month because he still wouldn’t make the warden money, after two months Andy had hoped that he would get out no matter what he had to do. Red is another person who had hope in the narrative. Red’s hope was a little different from Andy’s, what I mean by that is that he had parole. Andy gave Red hope and a new start to life. He asked if he wanted to help him with his hotel and boat down in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. He kept talking about Zihuatanejo to Red. During the beginning of the narrative Red said hope is a dangerous/ evil thing. He basically means that hope can get you killed. Many characters in the narrative had hope and most of them died like Tommy hoped that he got the chance to get Andy out by testifying that Andy didn’t kill his wife and the pro golf player. Brooks also hoped that he would commit a crime and stay with his friends.

Hope.
Hope, in itself. A very simple but powerful thing for many people all over the world. Some may either lose or gain hope from others or something else. Some may earn hope by listening or witnessing a motivational speech by someone or find hope in life and other things by the small things that make sure we don't truly lose it all. Some people may see hope as a truly good thing in all of humanity, many conflicts of a massive scale were won by those who hold onto their hope. I believe that this is the main theme of Shawshank Redemption.
I believe that Hope in itself is the main theme and message in Shawshank Redemption. A film about the Hope of finding redemption for your actions and redeeming others who had done some bad things in their lives. We see the concept of redemption and hope in Andy and Red throughout the entire movie about their struggles and efforts to eventually find redemption and leave the jail and re-enter the real world once again. Andy seems to be the one who had the most hope of finding redemption and hope to escape the prison. While Red is more pessimistic about hope and fears that he would never again be able to re-enter society after being in prison for so long now, he held some shreds of hope one day, to be reunited with Andy once again. Outside of the jail, no longer be afraid of the guards punishing them, getting assaulted by other inmates, and many more themes.
How is the neartive about this whole time andy knows that hes innocent he s dosnt let the tings that happen to him run his life andy is a really smart man who seems to know the ends and outs of everything he makes a plans with out anyone knowing he works hard on the things any builds friends right way he builds trust with them then andy helps the guards with there money problems witch also puts them on his side almost like having the guards whelp with any problems in the prison andy start digging his tunnel with in the first year of living there i think that tunel gave him hope it was his way out he took gravel and cement out in little portions every day i feel like very time he pulls some dirt out he gets more and more hope you can just see it in andys eyes that hes not a guy who gives up to easy after being put in the pit for 2 months andy knows its time to go so he makes hes full plan before he left he talked to red he told red he had a dream beyond theses wall that he was gunna live by the ocean that the ocean wall were big like prison walls and he would feel like home when andy was at the prison he made lots of money for the warden but the money was all put under a fake name andy had a really goo plan he left the prison and used that fake name he draind all the money out of all the bank acounts and used it to get away he was able to live the life that he wanted to live the thing about hope is it wont just happen on its own you gotta push for it if you want it meier
I believe this narrative shows hope as something like desire and restlessness. When the film first starts it almost seems as if everyone has lost hope entirely but as the film progresses you can see that motivation to become better people sets in. This comes in even harder when Tommy is killed, giving Andy no hope to escape and for others to see his innocence. When the film shows how he gets a rope we instantly think the worst as he is now more trapped than ever. However, it is shown that he planned out the perfect great escape as a backup in the end. All of the picking and torcher both physically and mentally motivates him to push even harder and plan his escape while everyone else thinks he broke and was going to kill himself. He had hoped to carry on through the whole film shown in small ways such as the book in the library to the rocks to make his chess pieces. Andy no hopes to escape and for others to see his innocence. When the film shows how he gets a rope we instantly think the worst as he is now more trapped than ever. However, it is shown that he planned out the perfect great escape as a backup in the end. All the picking and torcher both physically and mentally. Other people such as the guards are thought to also have lost hope and are now taking it out on the prisoners. I believe that these were the very first people to lose hope and suffer and now take it out on to others.
Another reason that hope is lost or gained is just by the little things such as stated by Red at the beginning of the film that for a very long time he couldn't piss or do anything without asking first of all. As well as room checks and working for free not to mention they can't stand up for themselves or others. These small things like going to the bathroom talking, walking and sleeping when you want as some of the things taken away from these men and start to break them as well as the whole that is shown so many times in the film. Yet the little things such as the cafeteria, woodshop, and the library are where these men connect and somehow just get put back together and have some hope with what's going on in their lives in the prison.

In the beginning of the movie all of andy's hope disappeared, he was convicted of murder killing his wife and the man that she was cheating on him with. He got sentenced to life behind bars. At that point Andy said he did not commit the crime but he was convicted of it so he lost all hope. The first day he got put in there all the other inmates were betting on who would cry first. Red voted on Andy crying first which cost him 10 cigarettes the next day. After a little while the sister started raping Andy which most likely made Andy loose even more hope. After that Andy got a rock hammer and he started carving pieces of a chess game out of rocks. That was something Andy had to keep his mind occupied, that gave Andy little hope. A little while later the warden needed a group of inmates to do some outside work Andy, Red and a couple of other inmates were selected to work on the roof. The main guard was talking about some tax thing and Andy walked over to him and told him he could help him out but only if he gave him and his friends some beer for helping. Andy got his friends there beer which gave Andy alot of hope because he is helping them out. After that Andy was moved down to work in the library, he started doing all the guards and also the warden's financial importances. Andy sent a letter to get money for the library for years and he finally got some money which gave him hope but it was not enough so he kept sending more and more letters until they agreed to give him money all the time for the library. Soon after Andy was able to deck out the library with tons of books, desks and chairs. That gave him a lot of hope. A new inmate arrived and Andy was helping him get his high school diploma or his ged. He then told everyone about a story of his old cell mate that shocked everybody and gave Andy the most hope he has ever had. They found out Andy was actually innocent. The guards got rid of the young man by shooting him in the yard and said he was trying to escape. Andy got put in the whole for a very long time which is when he knew he had no chance of going to court to fight the case which made him lose all hope. Andy after that was able to finish digging his tunnel out of the prison he escaped and got out. He was standing in the river outside the prison and all his hope returned.

Hope is helping open peoples eyes and in this case Andy did that and so did Red. Andy was the smartest guy in Shawshank and was the only one that escaped because he had hope in what he wanted to accomplish. Andy and Red were good friends during that time and whatever Andy wanted he got from red and he also outsmarted the Warden and all the guards pretty much. There are so many things to talk about in this film about hope, Red had hope in what Andy did and has done in the film and at the very end Red had so much hope that he went all the way to Zihuatanejo where Andy said he would be and he actually met up with him there. In the scene where Red goes to the rock wall to find what Andy said was there, I hoped that Red would be able to find what he was looking for and he did not only did he have a compass but he knew where to go and he did find what he was looking for and it ended up to be money and a letter and in that letter, Andy had so much hope that Red would come to where Andy told him to meet up. Also, a big part of hope in this film would be when the Warden took Tommy outside to smoke a cig and they were talking about how the Warden wanted Tommy to tell him pretty much everything, and then one of the other guys shot Tommy. I had hoped that they wouldn’t have shot him but I was wrong. Red and Andy both had hoped but had different ways of explaining it. Hope is portrayed by Andy as “a good, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” Whereas, Red believes “hope is a dangerous thing. In Andy's mind, hope creates belief, belief creates motivation, and ultimately motivation creates a call to action.
Hope is something that everyone wishes and has the ability to have. Sometimes it can be covered by a blur but you just got to plane it and try to see it. Hope gives you an opportunity to see what you are really capable of. It lets you view yourself in a different way. It lets you maintain your focus and view the other side clearly. The word hope is clearly something that motivates you and gets you moving. It’s a strong word with a lot of meaning behind it.
Like Andy, he never gave up hope because he knew that he did not kill his wife and her lover. He had more things to do in life than just sit in prison for the rest of his life, and he knew that. He planed his escape because he knew that he did not belong there with the real criminals. Since he has gotten there he had already planed his escaped and kept his mentality on point. Each day he would make a little progress by making the hole bigger for him to fig and go through. Then in the morning, he would dump the little pieces of concrete that he had hitten off the prison wall. As he was in prison he made a lot of friends and learned a lot about them and what they hoped for. In their friend group, Andy gave them hope because he was smart, respectful, and caring for others. They looked up to andy because they couldn't do what he did but try to learn from him. Andy made a library for them so they could keep their mind off prison and put their minds into another world. Red was Andys best friend and would tell him everything that was a secret. Andy trusts Red because he was a man of his word, a man that respects all others, a man that is loyal to his friends. When Andy escaped, it gave Red hope. When Red went into the room where he tries to get his releasing sentence he stopped being fake and said what he really had in mind. He got out and had to find what Andy had told him to find.
The movie shawshank redemption creates a lot of hope in a lot of scenes over this essay i will bring up which parts of the movie bring hope and explain how they bring that emotional motivation to the table. I Also want to give the definition of hope as well,which means “ an expectation or desire for something to occur or happen”.
When andy gets into the prison everyone tells him that it’s normal to lose hope after years of being there. This may not be an official quote but it is represented by their words and their moods when they talk. Many people have hope for whats good and bad for them like when brooks got out, he hoped he would stay there because that is what he knows since he has been at the prison for so long. He tries to fix the problem he thinks he has with trying to kill heyworth and andy calms him down and keeps him away from the crime he was about to commit. Brooks soon loses hope after awhile when he gets out because he does not understand the world and how much it has changed plus his manager nagged him which did not help anything. If brooks would have stuck it through until red was out he might have ended up with red and andy at the end of the movie. Another example of hope was when andy played music for all the prison mates which when this event occured was happiness for once in years for everyone. That event caused hope because music can create peace,hope, and faith in bad situations. This was a courageous move but also a sign of rebellion to the guards, which ended up causing andy to get punished this was an act of trying to get andy to break. People who have been in prison for a long time do not have as much hope because they have seen mostly darkness in the prison,but if a spark of light comes in and it grows it can change those prison mates opinions like andy did people saw him as a vigilante because he is saving a lot of peoples minds. It creates a slight bit of hope because andy showed perseverance to get through all the things he was punished for and still create that spark that people need for a little positivity and hope. Prison can put people who are not religious get on their knees and pray it is a brutal place that people put themselves in and just a slight shine of light during their time there can change their whole perspective on things. Andy is that light he creates hope and faith for many of the prisoners. Andy did not deserve what he got but he still made everyone else happy at some point in the movie. Hope is a powerful thing and can be used to create a better future for people with how powerful it is.
There is a lot of hope in this film. Red, Defrane are the bestest of friends they tell each other mostly everything and they had hope the whole time they were in jail together. All they talked about was hope. They talked about Defranes dreams and how he was going to make it to those dreams and make them come true. They just had to believe. There is hope when Defrane finds the library guy and starts working with him. Defame “helps” the warden and knows what the warden is doing is wrong. Defrane makes stuff up and makes a plan to get back at him and he does when he gets out the warden kills himself because he knows what he did wrong and he does not want to be put into jail. There is hope when the guard guy goes to get Tommy and Tommy talks to the warden and then he thinks he is getting let out or something but instead the warden said to shoot him so Defrane stayed in. I would say since Red saw Andy he had hope. Red said that Andy was something different and he liked him from the start. Andy acts like he wants to do all the nice things for the warden and stuff but thats all fake because he had a plan as soon as he got to the jain. He had hope all along. I think there is hope when Andy is making chest board parts because it gives him more ideas and helps Red out. I feel that there is hope when Red gets out because Andy has hope that Red will get the note and hopefully find Andy. Andy never loses hope in entire movie. He had a plan since he got in and he stuck with it. I had a little hope when her got the tool to carve stuff with, because he was making little figures and I thought that would help them with boredom and finding a way out like Andy did. When Andy tried to carve his name into the wall but a piece of it came out it gave Andy hope because that means he found a way out and the guards would not know because of his posters.

The narrative slowly tells us that Andy (MOVIE) never gave up hope and also kept the fact that Andy held a good chunk of blackmail against the warden who used him for his money-laundering scheme and resulting in the warden to commit bullet taste testing and I hope that the warden (STILL TALKING ABOUT THE MOVIE) gets butt rushed constantly with a pitchfork for escaping his sentence. Let's talk about the bad things the warden has done to earn himself a place in hell and I’m not talking about the throne, I’m talking about the 4th circle. Let’s start with money laundering, the big one, he had Andy do all of this dirty work to make himself rich by the time he retires. The next is the refusal of a retrial, this is a big no-no, the retrial is one of the biggest things that could have set andy free from that dictator of a hell hole but the warden said “Well. I have to say, that's the most amazing story I ever heard.” and we all know that is BS, that was andy’s chance to get the hell out of dodge and the warden brushed it under the carpet like nothing f*cking happened, next is the disposal of evidence, Tommy Williams, the man was asked outside to talk to the warden asked if he would testify in court and said, “Would you be willing to swear before a judge and jury...having placed your hand on the Good Book and taken an oath before Almighty God Himself?” and Tommy replied with the single word response of yes and has the only officer that witnessed that conversation take the shot to get rid of evidence resulting in another thing to arise, he has an accomplice that knows of his dirty deeds (DONE DIRT CHEAP) and when andy broke out of prison, he drained the dummy account and sent an anonomous tip to the police that the warden at shawshank is responsible for money launderingand earned himself a 1 way ticket to to the bone zone resulting in the warden committing bullet taste testing and earned him a place amongst the other sinners in the 4th circle of hell
at first, we have no hope for andy and think he is the killer. he goes to jail, he doesn't talk to anyone or really does anything. all he wanted as his rocks at. and the sisters go after him, we still don't really get any hope for him till they get the chance to go work outside then andy hears about the guards' money problems and wants to help. well, that didn't work so well in the bringing because the guards didn't believe him and thought he just wanted to mess with him. but not long after andy is helping all the guards and we finally get some hope that he isn't going to get raped and killed someday. he even helps the warrant. we finally see him and his friendship with red grow. he starts being friends with others and gets better. then Tim or whatever his name came he wanted to get better and learn more. and he was not to bad, he was actually pretty good for his state. we get more and more hope then Tim starts talking about his last roommate who was the one who actually killed andys wife and lover. then andy has so so so much hope and he goes to start the warrant. but the warrant wants him to stay here so he can get more money. he ends up putting andy in the hole for 2 months. then we think it is the breaking point and that he gives up. but nope he gets to go and so does red. and in the end, they meet again.
The narrative is about hope because, throughout the whole film, the inmates and everyone else constantly have hope. Every time Red would go in to either get approved or rejected, it was in hope of being able to get out of there. Brooks had the hope of getting back into prison, where he felt he belonged. When Andy worked on the library, it was in hope of keeping himself happy and helping others out. When Tommy was getting his education from Andy, he was hoping to support his wife and kid when he got out. Just those alone were big things that symbolize hope throughout the film. The biggest hope in the film was when Andy found out who really killed his wife, and with Tommy to help testify, there was a chance that Andy could be proven innocent and possibly get out of prison after so many years. I believe that’s the biggest hope because with Andy being the main character, and knowing that he served so long for a crime he didn’t commit, brings a lot of hope when he finds out there’s just even a slight chance of being set free.

how is this narrative about hope? this narrative is about hope because of how Andy knew his innocence but did not have enough evidence to prove it. hope means differently between each person. hope to Red is to one day be let out to live another day. andy's hope is to get out and escape to Zihuatanejo to build up his company. Red I don't know if really had hope he tends to keep to his own group doing the same thing. but when andy got there red started to think differently and act differently. I think toward the end of the movie Red started to get hope. On Reds, the last parol meeting is when he finally got hope that his life means more. I think maybe Red did have hope when he first got here but after a couple of parole, rejections are when he kinda lost hope. The sisters I don't know if they had hope because they were defined as non-humans and I don't know if non-humans have hope for anything. The sisters are unique and I think they lost hope when they first got there if they had any to start with. And for brooks, he had hope that he would stay in prison because he is well respected and has a life there but out in the real world he is nobody and has nothing.
This is about hope in so many ways. I will tell you all about hope in this movie. First, I will tell you about hope and what it means so you can get a better understanding of what hope means. Hope means a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen or a feeling of trust. Now, in one part of the movie, Hope comes into a big play with the main guard because Andy is going to help him collect all of his money that he got from his brother-in-law. What I mean is that Andy helps him and then Andy and his co-workers get 3 beers each for what he did. Another example is when Tommy told Andy that he didn’t commit the crime of killing his wife and her lover. Andy got so much hope he went to Warden Norton to try to get another case while Tommy will testify on the behalf of Andy. But that got all shot done because Norton had one of his guards kill Tommy. They made it look like a mistake like Tommy was trying to escape the prison. Another one is when Andy tells Red to meet him in Zihuatenejo. Red was confused by the way Andy told him this. Red finally found out why he told him. Another one is that when Andy tells Red to go to the spot Andy asks his wife to marry him. The reason he did that was that Andy wanted to give money to Red and to ask him to go to the town that Andy told him.
