Pages 58-68 Response

In pages 58-68 of Shawshank Redemption many different things happen. First of all we learn of a new inmate to Shawshank by the name of Tommy Williams. We learn that Tommy has been convicted numerous times of theft and has been incarcerated before in another prison. We also learn that Tommy has a wife and a three year old son that come to visit him often and that he becomes quite close with Andy Dufresne. Finally in pages 58-68 of Shawshank Redemption we learn that Tommy Williams is so set on helping Andy Dufresne to prove his innocence. Tommy claims that a man by the name of Elwood Blatch who he has served time with at another prison has admitted to murdering Andy's wife and her lover. Andy approached the warden with the evidence and a request for a new trial. The warden denies Andy the request of a new trial and sends Tommy Williams to a minimal security prison to prevent Andy from ever leaving Shawshank. Andy is very distraught after this incident. I think that in the next ten pages that Andy Dufresne will do something very drastic as a result of him not being able to be retried in court.
