Without love and family, it still a popular and profound story. I think the personality of the hero draw people’s attention. Thinking of that, if we were the hero, what would you do? Staying in the prison till the end of life or fighting against the devils till they kill you? If you wanted to get out of the prison, what would you? I can not imagine that. Story alwaysexaggerate the fact, at least we can still learn something from the story.First, never be despaired whenever life seems helpless. Often in life, events occur that we truly can not control. The company we are working for “downsize” and we get laid off. Our spouse leaves us. A family member becomes ill, or someone close to us dies. The government cuts a program we have depended on. In those situation, we may feel as if there is simply nothing we can do to make things better. Never be despaired! There is always a way when it is the right time. What you have to do is just going through the hard time, you will soon balance your life. Hope is a strong moral power that makes you endeavor to achieve your goals. A man can do nothing without hope.Second, change yourself if you can not change the world. It is the survival of the fittest, It is also the reason why our human beings can live till now. It is the most available rule for us who will graduate soon. In my opinion, most young people who were born after 1980s are always thinking themselves more or less. Some of them are too self-esteem so that they never want to change themselves. Maybe this is a reason why most young people canoe work at a company for a long time. It may difficult to change yourself at the beginning, but if it is the only way that you can live, you have to do it. On the other hand,you do not have to change all your personalities, you need characters to let others know you.Third, never justify people by their past. There is no perfect man in the world, so everyone may make mistakes. The prison is foe who made serious mistakes. It is unfair to say all prisoners are bad guys. I think some of their instincts are not so bad. besides, the life of prisoner who get out of the prison is really hard to live. In the story, there was an old man who had stayed in the prison for 70 years. He was respected by everyone because he was a wise man with great knowledge. He could teach other prisoners many things. He even had a position, which was to manage the library. But after he got out of the prison, he became an idle man who could do nothing. The world has changed so much during the past 70 years. Finally, he worn his best clothes then hung himself, he just wanted to die with esteem. No company will employ a prisoner. No matter what changes have taken place, they will not be treated the same with others. Maybe we should give them a chance to start new life, or they will break the law again because they can not live just like ordinary people.Through this story, we also see some social problems. Lust, Authority, Money, Hatred. If someone addicted themselves to such things, the prison is the final destination. As for us, what we should do learn is how to keep an ordinary heart when we succeed. Too proudmakes people get into a harmful situation. The way to true success isto learn how to control your mind.A good story makes you think a lot. This is why I like The shawshank Redemption. We are all adults now, we have to know more beyond what we learned from books. For we have responsibility to our country even to the world.BEAUTIFUL SENTENCES:1. Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!2. I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.3. Fear can hold you prisoner , hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.4. Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.5. These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.6. It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.7. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock hem up DOES rejoice. Still, the place youlive in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.。
