This is a blog I have to make for my grade 11 English class. I have to create 10 blog entries on the story Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King. Once this is done I have to watch the movie and write a review on it. Finally after watching the movie and reading the book I have to write a 5 page essay on one of the key statements of the book.

Pages 35-48 Response
In pages 35-48 of Shawshank Redemption many different things have happened. First of all we learn that Red has smuggled in sixty posters of Rita Hayworth to sell to make money. His first customer of the posters was Andy Dufresne. Andy and Red become pretty close after this purchase of the poster. Secondly in pages 35-48 of Shawshank Redemption Red and Andy are both assigned to fix a damaged roof. While fixing the roof Andy learns that prison guard Byron Hadley is having financial trouble even after he inherits $35,000 from a long lost brother and offers to help him out in exchange for three beers for each one of his associates. Andy being a Vice President of a bank before he was locked up is an expert on finances, and taxes. He is not believed at first until Byron Hadley realizes that Andy was actually a Vice President before he ended up here and decides to give him a chance. I think that in the next ten pages Byron Hadley will spread the news of his financial success with the help of Andy causing the other prison guards wanting Andy for themselves.
