Have you ever known a famous experiment of the flea?In my point of view,I think it has
　　some commons with the film Shawshank Redemption.
　　First I'd like to introduce the experiment.It was an experiment about the flea.A zoologist
　　put some fleas in a glass cylinder,then used a piece of glass to cover it.At first every flea did
　　all it can in jumping.It must be painful.So after several times,they jumped a little lower,in case
　　of knocking the glass.After three days,when the zoologist took off the glass,he found that no
　　flea would jump out of the glass cylinder.Why?Because they got used to jump gently.
　　We can find the glass is a visible prison to the fleas,but they build an invisible prison for
　　themselves after three days.
　　The same with the film,the characters like the fleas in a visible prison which is called Shawshank.
　　There are three characters made a deep impression on me.They are Andy 、 Red and Brooks.
　　Though they are the same in the visible prison,they are different .The difference
　　between them is whether there located an invisible prison in their heart.
　　Brooks who lives in the Shawshank for fifty years.He likes the flea in the experiment,when
　　he gets the chance to leave Shanwshank,he chooses to threaten his mates in order to stay in Shanwshank.
　　But he fails,his only hope is broken.During the fifty years,he builds an invisible prison for himself.
　　I remember the first time I watched this film was in my senior high school,and I still remember
　　that I cried hard when I saw Brooks hung himself.At that time I thought it's the fault of the
　　society,but now I think it's the fault of the invisible prison.Red's words proves my point:"Man's
　　been here fifty years.This place is all he knows.In here,he's an important man,
　　an educated man.A librarian.Out there,he's nothing but a used up old con with
　　arthritis in both hands.Couldn't even get a library card if he applied.You see what
　　I'm saying?”“Believe what you want.These walls are funny.First you hate 'em,then
　　you get used to 'em.After long enough,you get so you depend on 'em.That's "institutionalized."”
　　It is the "institutionalized" put Brooks into the invisible prison.He has no hope in the
　　invisible prison,life becomes meaningless.He gets dying.
　　Red,is an man who can break his invisible prison.He is another kind of flea.
　　At first he likes Brooks,he build an invisible for himself.He told Andy that hope
　　is a dangerous thing,hope can drive a man insane,it's got no use the inside,you’d
　　better get used to that idea.At that time,he has already built the invisible prison
　　and broke his hope.He couldn't hack it on the outside.Been in here too long,he
　　is an institutional man now.Like old Brooks Hatlen was.In the prison he is the
　　guy who get it for the others.Out there,he wouldn't know where to begin.But
　　Andy's word influences him"get busy living,or get busy dying."At that time,Red
　　picks up his hope which breaks the invisible prison.When a man has the courage
　　to break the invisible one,let alone the visible one.At the end of film,Red get out
　　of the Shawshank and has a new life in the society with his hope!Red,may short
　　of the word"redemption",and he redeems himself.
　　Andy who is the hero in this film.And he is an amazing flea!There is no prison
　　in his mind.Shawshank is the visible prison which seems very sturdy .But he just uses
　　a small hammer to dig a hole,then he breaks the prison.19 years is a long time!But to Andy,his
　　hope supports him so that he can ignore the time!As the famous sentence goes hope can set
　　you free.I think another different between Andy and the others is that he never has an invisible
　　one in his heart.From the beginning to the end,he is free in his mind.That's why he can do what
　　the others cannot do!During the 19 years,he holds his hope,he still remember the hight which
　　he can reach.
　　The three man are three different kinds of fleas.The fleas tells us not to be prisoned in the invisible
　　prisons and remember hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things,and no good thing ever
　　dies.
　　We should set us free with our hopes!Let's break the invisible prison!
