Shawshank+Scene+4

=Shawshank Scene 4 - pages 39 and 40= Allie, Jaja, and Olivia

The scene we chose was when Red receives the two pieces of quartz from Andy. This scene first shows the friendship of Andy and Red. Before this point, they just had a business relationship; Red would get Andy things just like any other prisoner. When Ernie gives Red the box, he is confused because he was getting something from Andy and did not know what it could be. Inside the box are two polished pieces of quartz. Red recognizes how long this must have taken Andy and how much work went into creating the two pieces. This scene also shows Andy's persistence, which is later brought out in the end when they discover the hole Andy escaped through. That also took a great deal of time to create.
