Shawshank

Shawshank Redemption

I found that the library was a turning point in this movie as Andy was able to change the how he and others were treated in Shawshank. When he was sent to go work with brooks in the library, but both had no idea why Andy was there. Andy would help out Brooks with his runs but one day things changed as he told a prison guard how he wouldn’t loss all the money he inherited. Andy was nearly thrown of the roof for asking and suggestion such an idea, so after Andy was doing tax returns for all of the prison guards and others from other prisons in football season. Andy took control on how was treated in Shawshank as everyone was relying on him to do the taxes. Soon after he was doing taxes for the warden and the prison, which was a massive surprise. Brooks was let out of prison after spending his whole life in prison; once he was released he struggled to survive on the outside so he committed suicide. Andy felt as a friend of brooks he needed to do something to remember him. Andy started writing a letter a week to the board of prisons asking for money to do up the prison library and get new books. After two years he got a letter back with a box of books and two hundred dollars for them to spruce up the library. He said that he would start writing two letters a week now and after a while he got the funds to do up the library, so he and Red rebuilt up the library for Brooks. There were new books and magazines for prisoners to get there school education and Andy would tutor them. Andy knew this was the right thing to do as brooks spent his whole life in there and the library meant everything to him. They named the library after brooks.
