content
When reading this book for the first time, many people may not understand the deep meaning of it, and carefully read it a second time, and after the third time, they will break away from the exciting storyline. Only then can we understand a deeper meaning.
Just like the protagonist and Andy in this book, he did not expect that his promising self would one day be accused of becoming a cold-blooded killer who killed his wife.
Despite the lack of evidence at the time, Andy went to jail, and in a prison called Shawkeson, the story begins.
After entering prison, Andy is very unaccustomed to the prison environment, because the first day is often the most difficult, and the whole night is difficult to spend in the cries of new inmates.
He suddenly fell from the peak of his life into hell on earth, it can be said that he is worse off than dead, and from here you can also see that Andy is different from ordinary people, he did not have a mental breakdown.
Instead, he found a way to forget his current painful situation, he polished the long night with carving, and he also used this way to keep himself awake and not let himself sink in the darkness, in other words, it was also the beginning of his self-redemption.
Andy is not only a great banker. He was also a highly talented student, and during his university years, he also minored in geology and architecture because of his interests.
Shawshank Prison is a miniature version of society, Andy has experienced a lot here, he also understands the cruelty of this world, society itself is unfair, and many times, people's gaps are often reflected in each other's abilities.
So every day he relied on the pickaxe, quietly digging the passage in the middle of the night, in addition to that, he also secretly observed the internal structure of the prison, not only the playground, but also the underground ventilation ducts, corners that all ordinary people could not pay attention to.
Life in prison is not good, the fat man was killed, this part actually sets off the harsh prison environment, and the fear in people's hearts, at this time Andy must be afraid in his heart, but at this time he is very calm, from this part has reflected his composure, calm, but also for the later plot to pave the way.
The power of knowledge
There are many difficulties in life, and the most direct and concise way to solve these difficulties is to look for them in books. Therefore, the ancients cloud, the book has its own golden house is not unreasonable. Every knowledge in the book will become the help we need at some point in life, just like reading ten thousand books, such as walking thousands of miles.
In life without reading, there is no slightest right to choose, and you can only get by and endure silently. Those who have read books will take the opportunity in their own hands, promising to break the class process.
The thickness of the books in people's hearts also represents the height of his life, and in Shawshank Prison, some people still have hope for the outside world even if they are deeply involved, and some people are content with the plainness and order inside the walls.
The librarian Bruce clearly belongs to the latter, having spent decades in prison, already isolated from the outside world, and when he is notified of his release, he wants to remain in prison again.
After serving 50 years in prison, he was given a parole notice, but he deliberately committed a crime, but was finally forced to leave. He left the prison that had left him for the rest of his life, and he panicked as he watched the traffic flowing down the street.
In prison, he was a decent man with upbringing; in society, he was a downcast "superfluous man." After his release from prison, he worked in the supermarket for a while, but he was slow to move, always complained by customers, could not resist the pressure, and chose to commit suicide a year later.
This kind of isolation is very clean and neat to cut off people's contact with the outside world, making people numb, in prison, how many people have become numb, and Andy is very disciplined, realizing that he can't fall here, he still maintains the habit of reading.
Tough Andy
Andy has exceptional persistence and perseverance. In order to repair the library, he insisted on writing letters for 6 years. When he got the reply, he said, I didn't expect to have news so soon, which shows that he is ready to write for a long time and really did what he said.
In other words, it is difficult for us to have such a spirit of perseverance today. The effort paid off, and with Andy's tireless efforts, the state finally decided to pay a grant to Shawkson Prison every year.
In the days of isolation in prison for more than twenty years, Andy did not cut off any contact with the outside world, he did not decadence, but through books to understand the outside world little by little.
Although his body is imprisoned in prison, his soul is untethered, he still has a desire for freedom in his heart, he is still a free heart without being "institutionalized" by the prison of Shawshank, he believes in the power of hope, and he has worked hard for 20 years.
Andy through books, he constantly draws knowledge from them. As far as possible to adapt to the earth-shaking social changes in the outside world, without slowly becoming numb in prison, for Andy in prison, books are his medicine.
At the end of the story, Andy finally survived the tunnel to escape the day and spend the rest of his life on a small island in the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, the reason why Andy was able to leave the prison, in addition to his own strong perseverance, was also inseparable from the help of books, books were like a life-saving straw for him, knowledge was his most important weapon, so that he saw the hope of life in the difficult prison, if he did not have knowledge as strength, he might have died in Shawshank.
epilogue
"The Shawshank Redemption" brings a lot of shock and inspiration. Shawshank Prison, an indestructible cage, but Andy opened the door to freedom with knowledge, everything is so coincidental and natural.
What this book wants to convey to people is "hope", no matter what situation you are in, as long as there is hope, you are free, and you ultimately redeem yourself and others.
There is no book to read in this world, and there is no time spent in vain, and the effort you have paid inadvertently will be rewarded at some point in the future, and it will surprise you when you are unexpected.
Andy's story also made me understand why I should read a lot of books, because one day they will be the holy light that redeems you, and they will be the most powerful weapon.
