Hope is not up for debate

11. By the way, the original book that this movie comes from...

Is broken into four sections, each named after a different season, thence the name of the book, 'Different Seasons'. The story is called 'Rita Hayworth And The Shawshank Redemption', and it appears in the section called Hope Springs Eternal.

This was one of his most famous works as three of the four stories have been adapted to film:

*The above story, which was shortened to 'The Shawshank Redemption' for the film.
*'Apt Pupil', which was made into a film starring Brad Renfro and Ian McKellen.
*'The Body', which was renamed 'Stand By Me' for the film. Stars Will Wheaton, River Phoenix, Cory Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and Kiefer Sutherland.

(On a personal note, I like them all but the one that has not been made into a film yet is my favorite one. 'The Breathing Method' is a great story. It might also bring back a few memories. I recommend it.)
