Hope----learn from the movie SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

Andy Dufresne, a smart banker, was accused of murdering his wife and her lover at the beginning of the film. Although he was nonsense in fact, all the evidences are disadvantaged to him. At last, he was sentenced to deserve to be imprisoned and was sent to the jail named Shawshank. The things happened so quickly that the whole career and future had been ruined for this young genius. I can hardly imagine how he could get through that time. However, he did it at last. Step by step, he planned to escape from the jail and never gave up. He made the most of his talents to rebuild the library in prison and help the prisoners to study. In addition, he successfully dug a tunnel in less than twenty years, while it may take other people about 600 years to do it.
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever does.” “I hope I can make to cross the border. I hope to see my friends and shake his hand. I hope the pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope…” (Shawshank redemption). It really touches me a lot when I heard these sincere words. Facing the unfair judgment, he did not give up. Being humiliated by other prisoners and the warders, he never gave up. The behaviors and his indomitable spirits make me think of the life in reality.
Do not be afraid of seeing the end of the road, you may see a beautiful scene after making a turn. Do not be afraid that your body will be fettered by the pressure in the society; your spirit can also enjoy the freedom if you really want to. Do not be afraid of the uncertain future, you can grasp and make full use of the present. Do not afraid of the problems you faced, you can solve them with the help of the perseverance… Hope is a good thing. Hope is a kind of inner feeling that cannot be easily touched.“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”(Helen Keller, three days to see). Remember: Never forget this inner feeling and never give up the hope.

  1. If one day, the god would punish me for some reason and I could only keep one thing I would keep hope as my eternal companion. I could live as long as hope is with me. Hope is such a thing which always turns people from sad to happy, from passive to optimistic, from desperate to hopeful. If you have no money, hope can tell you the poverty is temporary, a big fortune is in your future. If you do not have a good appearance, hope will make you believe that you have a beautiful heart and an outstanding temperament. Wherever is hope, there is a bright future. A little girl lost her finger in an accident. Everyone felt sorry for her and tried comfort her. However, unless other people in the same situation, this little girl believed her finger would come out again. Day after day, the girl never gave up her belief, instead, she kept the hope for a long time. After a year, when the doctor took off the bandage on her finger he found the wonder-a fresh finger was on the girl’s hand! This is a real story happened in Australia. We can see how powerful a hope is. If a hope can grow a finger would anyone doubt if a hope can lead people to success? Never lose hope, as though everyone is telling your tomorrow is the last day of the world.

  2. Hope is a magical thing, which will make things change from bad to good, or even from good to better. Nobody can live without hope. One of the reasons is that most of the time, the flesh and blood of life cannot satisfy and make us joyful, so we need a beautiful hope for a bright future. Once a person loss his hope, he will be surely sank into the darkness and never can get out again. There is a story that a man was locked into a refrigerator car by accident, next day people found him dead, even though the refrigerator car could not work for some mechanical trouble. In another word, the reason for his death was losing hope, instead of the low temperature.
