The film The Shawshank Redemption by Frank Darabont tells the viewers about a banker, Andy Dufresne, who is convicted of killing his wife and her secret lover and begins his life sentence in the Shawshank Prison.

Brooks wrote a letter to Red and said “I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid. I've decided to leave. I doubt they'll kick up a fuss.

This shows how it is in human nature to give up when we have no hope. When there is nothing to work towards or no hope of advancing further, we give up. This can be seen in the today’s society in means such as sport when teams have not been winning they decide to give up hope in winning the game. They will give up and will not be able to play well enough to win. Therefore if we lose hope we have no chance of any success. If you say you cannot do it, you cannot do
