Andy approaches him (almost getting thrown off the roof in the process) and tells him that there are

Shawshank Redemption When imprisoned or trapped it is easy to lose track of things like hope‚ faith‚ and friendship. In some cases‚ these virtues flourish when incarcerated. This was the case for Andy‚ the main character in “Shawshank Redemption”‚ who had become a prisoner at Shawshank prison under false accusations.

giving a very somber tone that drew from me a bucket of melancholia that echoed deeply into my ears with each down stroke as the melody is poured out slowly into my soul. Suddenly‚ there is hope a rising sound crashes into me like a wave as each feathering high note begins to call out to me but still with a touch of profound sadness.
