Neil is dead: Who is to blame?

Oh my god, it's so terrible, Neil just shot himself!! Today we're going to discuss who is to blame for this terrible suicide. 😭

 As you know from my characterization, Mr. Keating teaches very differently and maybe his deep entry into the poetic world caused a conflict in Neil. He wanted to be free and do what he loved: Acting. When his father saw, that he played his role against his father's will, he decided to send him to a military school, then to Harvard and then he has to become a doctor. Maybe this shocked Neil, cause that would have meant 10 more years at school, and that's not what he wanted. I think that Mr. Keating's "teaching style" taught the boys to think more freely and that's why Neil didn't want to be a doctor. Because he wouldn't have been happy with it. This conflict, between his passion and the will of his father, led to Neil's suicide. It's most likely, that Neil's father's pressure on his own son crushed him, so I guess that it's his father's fault.

 Hmm, a very sad story right, I hope you'll never get to this point. If you need help look at this website:  www.telefonseelsorge.de

 See you next time

1. The four Pillars Hey guys and welcome to my first real post. Today I'd like to talk about the "four pillars" of Welton Society, the school in Dead Poets Society. What are the four pillars?  The four pillars are the four major values of Welton Academy, the boarding school that our characters attend. The four pillars are:  H onor , t radition , d iscipline and e xellence . They are fundamental for the school's high level. The pillars are probably comparable to guiding principles even if they are much stricter than at normal schools. At Welton Academy, the four pillars are so important that they are presented and celebrated at the beginning of every new semester. O k, now that you know about the pillars, I'd like to tell you what I think about them.  If I'm honest, I don't like schools like Welton that put excellence and discipline into the center of everything. Cause I believe, that life is to short for not having fun and learning things you'...

Characterization Hello there, today I'm gonna give you a short characterization about Mr. John Keating. Enjoy! In the novel " Dead Poets Society ", written by N. H. Kleinbaum, John Keating is one of the main characters. He is probably about 50 years, with brown hair, a round face and blue eyes. Normally he is wearing a brown suit and a white shirt. Mr. Keating is a teacher at Welton and the English teacher of our Dead Poets Society members. His behavior is changing in every situation, sometimes he is excited, for example when he stands in a table in the classroom, or he is calm, for example when he walks around the campus while he's whistling.
