rves the purposes of both the story's writer and the filmmaker. The act of Andy Dufresne being able to go on Sunday expeditions(29) at Shawshank shows the reader and/or viewer that it will make him feel free, like when he collected rocks in his old life (life before prison). On a larger level, this event could be interpreted as a lesson to not give up your freedom. Even though something bad happens to you, you should not become secluded and be depressed all of the time. Andy shows the reader that you must get busy living or get busy dying(movie) or you will loose your inner freedom. The other theme of freedom comes in both the film and the story, when Andy Dufresne got beer for all of the crew that tarred the prison's roof. In this example, even Red stated that the break lasted twenty minutes, the beer-break, and for those twenty minutes we felt like free men.(48) Red recalls that the crew felt such freedom that they could have been drinking beer and tarring the roof of one of our own houses.(48) This example serves the purposes of both the story's writer and the filmmaker because it shows the reader and/or viewer that this event happened because Andy wanted himself and his 'co-workers' to feel freedom
