The Shawshank Redemption is an old movie that reveals the power of hope through an faithful innocent prisoner, Andy Dufresne. The movie was a little ambiguous for me when I watched the movie the first time, However, How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster enlightened me and encouraged me to analysis the movie more in depth. Not only the story itself amazed me, also the settings, characterization, and diminutive details all seemed naturally and tactfully fit into the situation. Throughout the movie, a lot of examples that illustrate Thomas Foster’s techniques of reading appears. 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.
I was a little upset that Rahim Khan didn't tell Amir that he knew what happened to Hassan. He only said that "there is a way to be good again". I felt that the movie didn't properly portray Amir's guilt over this situation, especially since it was such an important aspect in his life - it shaped the man he became. Also, I felt Amir's time with Sohrab before heading back to America was too brief and too easy. In the novel, they really struggled with many things - the adoption process, Sohrab trusting Amir and most importantly, Sohrab's attempted suicide.
It is rare to find perfect harmony in both. Usually, I try to read the book before I see the movie because I find it disappoints me in the reverse. Fully capturing the essence of a novel on film can be very challenging. Novels, in general, offer more background and insight and allow more time for character development.

John Steinbeck made the plot interesting and the themes behind the work were truly brilliant. The book had its points were they were very descriptive but didn’t keep me interested enough. Reading through those boring parts is completely worth it though. Steinbeck makes the book easy to understand and i like that quality a lot about this book. In my opinion, I got the idea that this book was written more for the workings of the mind but at the same time Steinbeck wanted to make you feel something as you read this.
For example, Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle, was not primarily conversational, and thus would not benefit as much from being orally told like Harriet Beecher Stowe’s The Ghost in the Mill or Samuel Clemens’s Cannibalism in the Cars. Where Irving takes the reader on a more personal creative literary journey – void of a separate storyteller though filled with imagery and vivid landscapes allowing the reader to make their own determinations – Stowe allows for a dialect advantageous of being acted aloud. Upon reading The Ghost in the Mill, you want to actually hear Sam Lawson tell the story, to know every aspect of the story and every word spoken by the characters in exactly the way he tells it, just like the children have learned to. Through stories like Stowe’s, written using dialect heavy in Southern slave culture, the need for a storyteller becomes more apparent, aiding in understanding the story’s tone. Likewise, in Clemens’s Cannibalism in the Cars, the written description only serves for so many creative possibilities; it is the storyteller that really brings the story to life.
