1、Reflections give one wisdomSome reflections on the novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank RedemptionBelief introduction about the author and the bookBorn in Portland, Maine in 1947, Stephen King is the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. He has since published over 50 books and has bec
2、ome one of the worlds most successful writers. The books he wrote include Carrie, The Dark Tower series, The Stand, Storm of the Century, and The Green Mile.And Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is a novella from Stephens collection Different Seasons. The book was first published by Penguin Aud
3、io in 1982. It has been hailed by critics as Kings greatest work and masterpiece. The novella was also adapted for the screen in 1994 as The Shawshank Redemption, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards in 1994. Summary of the bookThe story is narrated by Red, an inmate who can delivercontraban
4、dof almost any type into Shawshank Prison. Andy, a banker imprisoned for murder, asked Red to get him a rock hammer to shape the rocks into small sculptures. He also ordered a large poster ofRita Hayworth. Red reflected that Andy was uncharacteristically excited about the poster, but did not think m
5、ore of it at the time. Andy used his skills to help the administrators, such as warden and guards in the Shawshank. This earned him many privileges inside the prison, like having a cell himself. Twenty-seven years later, Andy was found missing in his locked cell. The warden Norton with great rage fi
6、nally discovered that the poster on the wall (now showing a youngRaquel Welch) covered a man-sized hole. Andy had used his rock hammer not just to shape rocks, but to carve a hole through the wall night after night for 27 years. And he succeeded in breaking the prison.Personal reflectionsMaybe you w
7、ill admire Andys perseverance. For a man who insists on digging a concrete wall for nearly 27 years only using a rock hammer, Andy deserves this. So did I.Maybe you will be surprised by Andy who never loses hope after so many years sufferings in Shawshank. Just thinking the dull environment, the war
8、den and the guards persecution and all the dirty things inside, is there anybody that wont get desperate? I think I will not be the exceptional. But those above do not impress me most, but Andys personality does. Andy is a quiet person, saying much little in his daily life. But he is a special man,
9、maybe smart would be more appropriate. I believe that being quiet always represents that one is wise, because he or she has mare time to reflect, to perspective what it really is behind things happened. Its the reflection that gives one wisdom. Lets see what Andy has done in the Shawshank. Red descr
10、iped Andy, “He was thirty years old, a short neat little man with sandy hair and small, clever hands. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles. His fingernails were always clipped, and they were always clean.” From this, we do not know clear what kind of person he is, but we can get the idea that he is a spec
11、ial man. He cares for his dressings.When dealing with the sisters, he calmly but effectively fought with them each time. Even if he failed many times, he continued to battle with them. Because he knew that if he did not protect himself, the sisters would go far more. A wolf would rather choose a com
12、pliant goat than a fighting one. Andy always tried to reflect, he deeply knew the rule in the forest.And before coming into the Shawshank, he got to realize the power of money and managed to bring five hundred dollars with him. Later Andy was proved to be right. The money helped him keep the publish
13、 the sisters away and get him the tools needed. A man who thinks frequently is able to predict what will happen in the future and get better prepared.During a roof resurfacing outside, Andy seized the chance to help Byron Hadley get tax free inherit of 35 thousand dollars, which showed how useful hi
14、mself could be. This was the beginning of Andys good life in Shawshank. The warden as well as other screws needed Andys financial skills. Andy got to defeat them in another way. He controlled their desire for money and therefore controlled them. We can fight in many ways, not just physically, but me
15、ntally. Most of us ignore this or do not know how to practice, but Andy will not. Instead, he reflects much about it and does this well. He was rewarded with great victory because he controlled the greed of those people. Reflecting your enemies weak points and try to make use of them, you will win e

He thought that Norton could find Elwood Blatch in another prison and so he was likely to go out the Shawshank. But Norton made Tommy away and prevented Andys attempt. Being hysterical, Andy was put into solitary for twenty days. Only the
