Pg. #48-58

After Andy's deal with Hadley, he started moving up in the prison. The end of his three year harrassment with the sisters was when he was moved out of the laundry room, and into the library in which he worked as a librarian. Andy quickly started to improve the library, recieving funds that rose to $1000 a year. By 1951, Andy was doing the tax returns for half the employees at Shawshank, and in 1952 almost all. Andy soon became a very important, and valued person in the prison. As need for his services arose, the guards started to reward him with goodwill. The prison population grew slowly until it exploded in the 60's. Byron Hadley eventually died in 1961 of a heart attack. The poster of Rita Hayworth hung in Andy's cell until 1955. When she became tattered, she was replaced with Marilyn Monroe, then Jayne Mansfield, a year later Hazel Court hung in the same spot, then Raquel Welch from 1960 to 1966, and the last woman that ever hung in Andy's cell was Linda Ronstadt. Every time a poster would become tattered or torn, Andy would replace it and it was always in the same spot. A new warden finally came into place; Warden Norton. He was the foulest and most hypocritical man in the high position. He worked at Shawshank for a 16 long agonizing years. Some foreshadowing is used in the last page of this section when Stephen King hints a soon introductory of Tommy Williams, who sent Andy into the darkest, most depressed 10 months of his life. What could Tommy do that could negatively influenced Andy so much to actually sink him into a deep depression? I can't wait to find out!
