In Shawshank Redemption, a theme of hope is evident, which is what one would expect in a prison film. In the case of Shawshank, the hope of redemption is used to push people to get out of prison in Andy's case and go to Mexico based on what a note says. Hope is often used in movies but just as much in real life and often helps people get through a difficult experience or find what they were looking for. I sometimes use hope to help brighten a day or even sometimes an extended period of time. Hope will drive you to move forward and find your limits, and for that hope is the catalyst for our success in life and in sport or, in the case of film, a willingness to continue no matter the odds. difficulties. Over the past few months, I had the privilege of going to Collingwood, Ontario and competing in the Junior National Alpine Ski Championships, but the trip did not go as planned. During the journey there were six races and throughout my races I was driven by hope and fueled by the desire to be the best, even though I experienced many failures along the way journey by learning to use hope in the best way. In Shawshank Redemption, Andy is driven day after day to escape from Shawshank Prison and works through the night for almost twenty years with a small hammer to smash his way through the prison's thick concrete walls. Red is also filled with hope towards the end of the film when he finds the note that tells him to go to the town in Mexico that Andy told him about. He ventures south as best he can and arrives in this same town where he meets his long lost friend, Andy Dufresne. In life we ​​unknowingly use hope to get through our days and often it works perfectly and our job is to follow the curve balls that life throws at us and adapt our hopes and desires.
