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.
Towards the end of the video the young lady is shown devastated on how she is being ignored by the same man who she had slept with and as the chorus echoes in the back ground, “you wont forget, you’ll remember me”, which refers to how he tried warning her that she’s just a chips funga or one night stand to him. She was blinded by the others charm, wealth, good looks, but even after being warned she did not resist. I believe this shows us how even in a developing country like Kenya we see the same antics of promiscuity we see in western culture. Older traditions of marriage and family, either religious or cultural are now taking a back seat to men and women being completely
Technically, Mickey’s attacks are not spouse abuse, but straightforward assault and battery. The deliberation of rape, another obvious situation in the case, is never addressed. When Francine seeks help from various social agencies, they let her down, advising her to get a lawyer. For some reason, she is unable or unwilling to take this step, and she even shows a reserve at first to deal with her own court-appointed attorney. Her fears are that the law might turn against her, declare her an unfit mother, or otherwise destroy her
A Beautiful Mind The story of John Nash’s life long struggle with schizophrenia and the excellent telling of that story were very compelling to me. I was drawn into the narrative and its content to the point it was very difficult for me to “dissect” the movie down to its component form. It was only in a second and a third viewing (at 2x speed with audio off) that I was able to note the cinematic language of lighting, camera angles, camera movement, and point of view. I was drawn into the movie by the use of pattern and the resulting expectation. Initially, I completely bought into the characters that turned out to be creations of Nash’s mind.
This represents her unawareness of the concept of faithfulness because if a few words are all it takes for one to persuade another into cheating, then one must not understand the whole point of marriage in the first place. To continue, Alison plots with Nicholas to have an affair “as soon an opportunity she could spy” (Chaucer 2). Unlike the promise of faithfulness the old lady in “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” makes, Alison willingly cheats. She shows her immaturity in not thinking of the repercussions of her actions and how they might affect those around her. In addition, Alison displays childish behavior in the adolescent actions she does towards Absalom by sticking her bottom out the window and him not realizing it was not her face, therefore kissing it.

They do not see how women serving their country will effect the battlefield in the most excellent ways. Women should be allowed to serve in combat because it benefits the country, abundantly too. Additionally, people against the lifting of the ban are given a healthy whack in the head to wake up and smell the freedom.
This is especially clear when Duayaw’s female friend asks for a beer to drink at the nightclub. When he sees this happen he says, “I was too surprised to drink mine. I sat with my mouth open and watched the daughter of a woman cut beer like a man”. The dancing that took place during the nightclub also intrigued the main character, but he refused to participate because he claimed he did not know how. In reply to that, Duayaw informs him, “If people were dancing, they would be so busy that they would not have time to watch others dance.
