6. Dead Poets Society

Has Mr. Keating reached what he wanted?
Hey guys, today we're gonna discuss if Mr. Keating reached his goal with macking the boys more open-minded and sensitive when it comes to life and poetry.

As you know from my last post, Neil killed himself and we found out, that Mr. Keating kind of triggered something deep in Neil so that he questioned the decisions of his father. In addition to this, he changed Todd Anderson, the shy one, so he could speak freely in front of people. All these changes suggest, that Mr. Keating reached his goal. On the other side, his lessons led to Neil's view on his life from a perspective, that ended in his suicide. Neil wanted to be an actor and he would rather die than become a doctor. I think, that John Keating changed the boys in many ways, he taught them to enjoy life and wonder about the world and its poetic background. But after all these changes in their minds, Neil's death even changed them more and maybe made them even more rebellious. 
It's now absolutely clear, that Mr. Keating changed the boys.

What do you think? Do you think Mr. Keating is a good teacher? Tell me in the comment down below!!🤩
Thanks for reading.

See ya!!

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.

He has a special connection to the boys who revived the Dead Poets Society. Mr. Keating teaches differently and that's why he is more liked and appr...
