Uddrag
Society can be very cruel, hopes and dreams can become reality and vanish away into the shivering winds.

It is important to maintain hope when life is crumbling around you and freedom is what humans strive for in order to execute what they please during their existence on earth.

Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King, is a clear example of freedom combined with hope, illustrated by the characters of Andy Dufresne and Red.

Andy, like Red, never loses hope of leaving prison and they gain a sense of freedom when departing from Shawshank.

Having beliefs, in addition to fighting for what you believe in is important to help you strive for success which ultimately, lets you reach for freedom and hope.

Freedom is very important in Stephen King’s Novel, “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.” Andy is a clear example of how the author feels about freedom as well as what freedom means to him.

“I asked him once what the posters meant to him, and he gave me a peculiar, surprised sort of look.

'Why, they mean the same thing to me as they do to most cons, I guess,' he said. 'Freedom.

You look at those pretty women, and you feel like you could almost ... not quite but almost step right through and be beside them.”

Posters inspire freedom in Andy, allowing him to feel free in ways of imagination, but also, feel as if he were being portrayed in the posters.
