After reading “Shawshank Redemption,” examine and analyze the major theme involving the power of hope and why it was so important to Andy while in prison.

Your essay should have a definite introduction (with specific thesis statement), body, and conclusion. Focus carefully on the topic. Formulate a strong, objectively worded thesis and avoid plot summarizing. Avoid the use of “I” or “you” throughout.

You are required to use quotes from the novel to support your analysis; however there is no set number of quotes required.
