English Paper attempt 1

So, this is my first attempt for my English Paper for 111C. It's most craptacular, but I have changed the focus fort eh second one. The re-written paper is about a tv show, Sunny, instead of being about Shawshank. I still think it's lacking as a paper, but the minimal direction is making this annoying. And errors be dammned, I didn't feel like properly re-reading this so it's being posted as craptacular as it was when I wrote it. I'm only posting this so I have a record of it for the future. Enjoy

Trying to define a ‘favorite’ anything for me is never easy. I have groups of favorites, not one single favorite movie, book or television show. Thinking through my groups of favorites and the longevity of things I have liked with how flighty I am in my decisions my favorite movie is and has been The Shawshank Redemption based off of the novella of the same title written by Stephen King. Having read the story, it is not my favorite story, but the movie has long been my favorite movie, ever since I saw it in roughly 1997.

The Shawshank Redemption is about Andy Dufrense’s internment in Shawshank Prison in Maine. Andy, played by Tim Robbins, is wrongfully accused and convicted for the murder of his wife and her lover. He is sentenced for a double life term in Shawshank Prison where he meets Red, played by Morgan Freeman, the man who can get things, the story is also told from his point of view. Andy was a successful accountant outside of Shawshank and starts working for the warden and guards as a free accountant. He gets protection and a few special privileges from the warden for his services.

What I enjoy so much about this movie is how clever Andy is when he breaks out of prison and how his years to free work pay off for him. While Andy was doing the wardens accounting work from behind bars in Shawshank he was laundering money into a third party bank account that was created from prison. After he escapeshe informs the police of all the unpaid taxes and how many times the money for the warden was hidden from the government and how many things were accomplished off the record. The pure elegance in everything that Dufrense does to escape has always amused me.

He breaks out of prison with a rock hammer, a miniature pick axe, and by digging through the aged walls of Shawshank and escaping through a sewage pipe. He takes the third party bank account and the life of a man who had lived only on paper and makes it reality.

This movie is by favorite because of just how cleaver Dufrense was when he escaped. I also love how Freeman acted as Red. Freeman has been one of my favorite actors for years.

Adios for now
