Essay Reprieve

I don't know how many people will check the blog this week, but I hope some of you will. I was looking through the blog to find a post of mine to put in my paper, and I noticed that a few people posted on Nietzsche claim of music making the spirit free. Suddenly, I was struck with a vivid memory of the following scene from Shawshank Redemption. As I watched the clip on youtube, I was painfully aware of the comparison between writing a paper and being in jail, and that for the minutes I spared to watch this video, I felt the computer dissolving from in front of me, the papers strewn around me disappear, and every last student on Derby St, felt free.

Hope you all enjoy.
