Hope Springs Eternal and The Shawshank Redemption :: Shawshank Redemption

I hope I manikinle make it across the border. I hope I can see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope. (106)Hope Springs Eternal is a story that demonstrates how important it is to keep hope alive. Throughout the entire story, Andy was different from most everybody else, especially the other inmates. This was about thing readily picked out by the pastor/warden. He had accused Andy of walking around as if he where at a cocktail party. Red explained it better when he described some of the qualities in Andy that made the warden say what he did. He always walked on the loose(p) footed and always kept his shoulders squared. He neer developed that kind of hazy pulseless look that the other inmates had. Nor did he adopt their crooked over sluggish walk when it came time to go back to their cages. The thing that constantly beamed from him, and differentiated him so much from everybody else was the thing he never gave up hope.A ndy didnt know from the get go that he was dismissal to secede from a localisation he dug in the wall. In fact he didnt know he was going to escape at all. But he always had hope that he would go away the Shank. This is evident in how he had taken his money and saved it from acquire washed away by the on coming hurricane. Also, he had his easily friend set up a bank account for his bare-ass identity. He kept this hope of getting out although it changed a fewer times. At first it was just hope of getting out somehow, and then it was escaping, for a brief time it came back to getting out lawfully when he met Tommy Williams. It got to Andy when the warden crushed that hope by transferring Tommy, but he didnt give up. His hope went right back to escaping through that little hole he dug.If you gave up on hope, then you gave up on life. In the Shank the inmates gave up hope pretty early, and that is why they developed those bland, dead eyes. They were not living they were merely going through routine. Its belike for that reason that so many inmates last such a light time in the outside world. They would shrink away in disquietude when confronted with life, because they had been so long without out it.
