And thats all she wrote about Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

Plot
the plot of Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is fast paced and organized in a way that makes things more interesting.   sequence of events that are important are Red get imprisoned. Andy getting arrested comes to Shawshank were Red meets him. After a wile Andy asks red for a rock hammer around the time "the sisters" take an interest to him. Red gets it for him later on Andy asks for a poster of Rita Hayworth. When Red and Andy get on the roofing team Andy Talks to the guard about finances and ends up working in the library. Andy's main focus is expanding the library when Tommy comes along and tells him he know the guy who is responsible for Andy's punishment. When the warden refuses to let Andy go he loses all hope. One day Andy tells red about peter Stevens in the next few days Andy escapes. A couple years later Red is let out and trys to cope with the world he is in then decides to look for Andy.

Point of view
The Story is in Reds point of view from what he knows personally and from what information he gathers from others. It is not an all knowing point of view. However the fact that is not an all knowing point of view does not mean there is a lack of information. however there are a lot of unknowns at the end and a lot of guesses.
Having a one sided point of view makes it seem more real like. It is this why because as we find out Red has actually written  book about it and that is why we are reading it.(p.100)


Charterization
The way in which the writer portrays the characters is honest unto them self's. None of the characters go against themselves. Andy is a man who is a man with a scenes of freedom and hope in much of the story ad only loses it for a little wile. Red is an man who has been in prison to long and who knows the value of reputation. Also red values what he does in the prison society. All of the wardens are selfish greedy men who would stop at nothing for their money til cought. The whole prison population seems to follow the motto ill scratch your back if you scratch mine.

Setting
The Setting is in Shawshank prison. It has a license-plate factory big industrial laundry and big automotive garage. Shawshank was built "back in 1934" (p.92). And by the time the story begins it is 1948.(p.18) It start in a squar yard "it's a perfect square, ninety yard on a side" (p.27). It was when Andy comes up to red the first time to ask about the rock hammer. This is the spot that Red normaly does his business.

Theme
One of the main themes is how the men deal with the imprisonment during and how they are so use to it that they hate the outside world. On page 49 talks about brooks hatlen who is an example of thi theme puree and simple "he was crying when he left. Shawshank was his world" On page 32 it talks about "the sisters" and why it is they do what they do and about men who have somewhat the same fancy as the sisters. It also deals with this theme when red talks about his life after he is relised and before he starts his search for Andy who is now Peter. A nother theme in the story is hope. with hope andy was able to live his years moderetly happy because he had hope he would get out. After the warden and him had their arguement Andy lost some of that hope but got it back as unknown to anyone he was about to excape. Hope also show in the last few lines of the story where Red is hoping to find "Peter" and a life down there. (p107)
