In the movie, after Andy Dufresne was put into the prison, he risked himself with life threatening to help a malicious officer all in return for some beers for his friends to drink on the roof. It turns out six of them were sitting on the roof, enjoying the cold beer with smiles on their faces in the warm Spring; and Andy, he was just sitting along and enjoying the sunshine. A monologue from Red (one of the main character): “ We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men.” This scene reminded me of the chapter “Nice to Eat with You: Acts of Communion” in How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster.

On the other hand, this also improves Andy’s friendship and connections with other people in the prison later on.

Armando gives vivid detail of a specific trip he and his father took to the Mexican/America border in Texas, his father’s home town; Eagle Pass. The racism still seemed to be pretty thick as they were denied a hotel room at a Best Western by the hotel attendant that he described as a “Anglo man” and because of this they had to spend the night in a rundown motel, sleeping on a “ratty mattress supported by cinder blocks”. He then goes into describing the town itself, the people his father knows, the smell of authentic Mexican food being prepared, how his father seemed to be somewhat absent while engaging in small talk with old friends and the popular Mexican dish of melt in your mouth beef made of “different beef heads”. All of these things drew him to his Hispanic roots that he carried with him throughout his short life and even into college studies. He talks of the time he spent abroad in Argentina and the lack of authentic Mexican cuisine available which prompted him to spend an entire day gathering ingredients to prepare his own for himself and friends.
Holden was bored and wide awake in his hotel room in New York. Holden decided to go to the bar and hang out but in the elevator the worker offers him a prostitute, Holden decided that he should so he talked his way into something he did not really want.
