Andy Dufresne is the main character of both my book and movie. Andy is a tall, skinny, young, the book describes him a man with a certain walk and talk about him like he thought he was better than everyone else in the prison. Emotionally Andy Dufresne was distraught. He had been sent to prison for murder when he knew he was innocent, and now he was stuck in a new place with new people, and he was not having the best time with the other prisoners and he wasn’t having the best time fitting in. Andy was different from most prisoners; he was quieter but he never lost his mind like many new prisoners. He kept to himself, but many prisoners didn’t like that because they thought Andy thought he was better than all of them. Mentally Andy Dufresne was kind of in a weird place. He was sitting in prison, but his mind was on how his life was over and how he’ll never live normal life again. Personality wise, Andy was the sort to tell it like it is, and what happens happens.
I can’t exactly decide whether I would be friends with Andy Dufresne because different factors come into play. First, I like his tell it like it is attitude because the truth shouldn’t be covered and things shouldn’t have to be held in your mind until it drives you crazy. Although, the way Andy comes off as he better than you because he was successful and educated, and I think if you think you’re better than someone then you need to just not show it because somewhere out there, there is someone better than you. Andy Dufresne did fit in when he was an educated banker, and was married and didn’t have a scratch on his name. Although, when he was accused of murder, he was looked at as a criminal and really didn’t fit in at all with society. Then, when he got to prison he didn’t fit in because he seemed too “different” and quiet. Andy had to make a big decision when he found out he could prove his innocence, and he knew the man that really killed his wife and her lover. He had to decide whether to tell the warden on not. The warden would probably think he is crazy and he is just trying to get out of prison, but is Andy didn’t tell the warden he would have the truth stuck in his mind for the rest of his life. Andy eventually did tell the warden, in which they argued then Andy was put in the “hole” (a small dark room) for a month. I agree with Andy because holding information such as that would hold anyone crazy and why leave the chance for freedom sitting.
