    The first takeaway from the film is that expectations rarely coincide with reality. If I set myself too high of an expectation believing that I can achieve it, but I fall short in the end, that would be devastating. For future references, I will attempt to keep expectations at a minimum for any purpose at all, whether that be getting that grade in class I wanted to a new romantic relationship, to keep myself from being discouraged. The second lesson would be that there are two sides to every story. In the case of Tom, he only believed in his own perspective and didn’t think to look on and understand the other side.…

The Warden paid the price for his crimes when he knew he had an innocent man in jail just for him to use Andy for his accounting skills. The Warden ended up committing suicide and I feel that was the ultimate penitence that the Warden had to pay in order for his crimes to be forgiven.…
