Summary of the movie

The story begins with a young and successful banker Andy Dufresne whose life changes dramatically when he is convicted of the murderer of his wife and her secret lover. Therefore, Andy is sent to Shawshank Prison to be permanently sentenced despite his claims of innocence. During time in prison, Andy builds up friendship with Red, who is Shawshank’s black market dealer that could supply anyone with almost everything. Therefore, Andy also has to face the cruel(Do you need to use this word?) reality: a corrupt warden and guards as well as prisoners who are willing to use beating or rape others (強奸其他犯人)(What do you mean here?) to ensure their dominance. But Andy still retains the hope and he does not give up. He uses previous experience as a banker to earn favor with warden and guards as he gives advice on their financial affairs. In exchange, Andy is able to work in the library with an older prisoner named Brooks. Therefore, Andy improves the library with more books and better facilities. After serving 17 years of sentence, Andy is proved to be innocent. However, the warden decides to hide this truth and refuses to let Andy go. Eventually, in subsequent morning, the warden discovers that Andy escaped from Shawshank by a massive tunnel(通過狹小通道逃走) (?). Several years later, Red finally leaves Shawshank and has trouble in adapting the life in society. Therefore, he reads Andy’s notes and accepts his offer (佢係監獄收到封信,封信佢去左一個地方,然後佢係個到拿到封信同錢,上面寫住一起去墨西哥打拼,因為太多字) (How come here is a sudden offer?). Two friends finally meet on the shore of the Pacific. yes(THE END?)

    In order to apprehend a criminal the first steps involve evidence collection. CSI technicians collect blood samples either by submitting a piece of clothing or by using a sterile cloth and a small amount of distilled water to remove some blood from the body as well as collect blood samples by scraping trace blood spatter from walls and floors into a sterile container using a scalpel. Blood samples are also collected from the body. These samples are then sent to be analyzed to determine if the samples are the same since any blood at the crime scene may belong to either the victim or assailant. The lab will perform DNA analysis on the sample as well as the victim to determine whether or not it can be used later to compare to blood taken from all suspects.…

    Most would say VPN is the low-cost way to establish remote connections between offices and to securely provide connections to a mobile workforce. The central office should be equipped with a VPN concentrator that is configured to maintain the number of connections to be serviced for the mobile sales force. In order to provide complete network access to the mobile workforce the use of IPSec with L2TP, ESP, AH, using SHA-256, RSA2048 and AES256 is recommended over a UDP transport. Each branch office and the central office will require a point of presence to the Internet along with a local loop that provides enough bandwidth to accommodate the office demands. In order to keep cost to a minimum, it is recommended that SDSL be used at each branch…

    The classic film centers on the predicament of Andy Dufresne who is ultimately found guilty of murdering his wife and receives a life-sentence; all of this occurs with little circumstantial detail given to the viewer of his innocence or guilt initially. Dufresne arrives at the infamous Shawshank correctional facility where he seems to take on a positive and optimistic attitude despite his perceived innocence to the viewer and assumed guilt to the inmates; this is peculiar and admirable to those around him given his dire surroundings, especially so to “Red,” (Morgan Freeman) a fellow inmate, who ultimately becomes Dufresnes closest friend. The latter represents symbolic interactionism: people act toward things based on the meaning those things have for them. And Dufresne, conceivably innocent, approaching things positively. Next, functionalism is conveyed through Dufresnes newfound home in the prison: his new societal surrounding consists of various parts that allow it to function—i.e. the prisoners roles, the guards’ roles, the warden’s, the parole officers’, Dufresne’s role both as a prisoner and avid component of the prison library. Finally, the conflict theory presents itselfs through the prison’s power structure: Dufresne and his peers (the subject class) are at the mercy of the courts, the warden, his guards, and the parole officers (all which make up the ruling class)… Dufresnes story at Shawshank Prison, and his ultimate redemption as a innocent man who gains the eventual freedom he so patiently earned and rightfully deserved, is sure to please any avid…

    A well-bred young banker is sent to serve a life term in Shawshank prison in Maine after being unjustly convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover. Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) seems to be a pragmatic version of Cool Hand Luke. Whereas Luke's only agenda was to run away from the chain gang, endure punishment, then run away again, Andy apparently has only limited, relatively realistic goals: he wants to survive prison with a minimum of decency,…

    In many ways Andy also was reliant on the pleasure seeking orientation, but his introvert personality helped to disguise his intents. He was never as boastful, open, or afraid as the other inmates. Mr. Dufresne was the total opposite of the typical inmate. The way that he carried himself, talked, and carefully thought things out help to differentiate him from the others. He always maintained his professional…

    The respondents came from various walks of life and different places in China, and the result is a book that goes into the lives and experiences of Chinese people ranging from artists to businesspeople, former Red Guards to rural migrants, prostitutes to Olympic athletes. However, for this assignment, it was asked to only read the interviews of a wealthy business man, a worker, and a Red Guard. I have heard about China Candid before and that’s why I know a lot about it. Sang Ye shows great interest in the personal experiences of his informants and they were presented not as representative of their occupation or class, but as interesting individuals with rich stories to tell. But with the context being modern China, political considerations affected the lives of all three people with whom he had conversations with. How the political expression was managed differed with every person. Some went along with the party line such as the Red Guard, while others distanced themselves from the authorities or make local officials a part of their schemes. Together, the personal stories told in this collection open a window onto what life is really like for both the Mao and post-Mao generations of…

However for the purposes of discussing group work within a context of working with vulnerable customers l may define a group as a small gathering of customers. Group work may simplistically be described as the study and application of the processes and outcomes experienced when a small group comes together.…
