perspective. “Shawshank Redemption” is a film which you wouldn’t expect to find hope‚ but it showed that a prison as a place where murderers and thieves lived‚ but also as a community of people who have had some problems and may or may not be rehabilitating. Tim Robbins starring as “Andy Dufresne”‚ and Morgan Freeman starring as “Red”‚ build their friendship over the 20 years. Their imprisonment makes up this brilliant film.

Don’t Take the Girl The name of my piece of music I choose is “Don’t take the Girl”. The original writer is Larry Johnson but the song was redone by Tim McGraw in 1994.

My Essay The Christmas carol is a book written by Charles Dickens. This story is set in Dickensian‚ London. This novel shows the difference between social classes during the 19th hundreds.

The film opens up by showing our main character Tim has been accused of killing his wife and her lover. As a result‚ Andy is thrown into Shawshank prison.
