The main themes for The dead poets society is individual vs. Conformity. Students at Welton Academy are based upon to be conformists. Influential leaders in the school all promote mindless and follow tradition without individualism through the course of the movie. Mr. Keating boosts the students to keep digging within themselves to be who they want to be and not like the other around them. Mr. Keating repeatedly does this to his students. These students that were based within his class room was on the verge to either conform or just rebel against others opinions about themselves. Mr. Nolan proclaims to other admin and tells or threaten Mr. Keating about his unorthodox ways of teaching. Yet, Mr. Keating rebels against Mr. Nolan as well and continues to teach the boys his unorthodox ways of poetry.

Poetry...

1. The most influence of a person I know is my uncle. But why is my uncle so important to me? My uncle influence is important me. He is pretty much the only person I look up to in my life due to no father figure he is like my second father. He has always told me I can come up to him for anything and because of his success in life is another reason why I look up to him for influence.


2. I do agree with Mr. Keating upon why he described poetry the way he did. No poetry is not cute and sweet, we write poetry to express life such a love, business, law and many other ways of poetry to be described as.


3. Yes I agree with Mr. Keating upon his standings of different views just by standing on his desk in the front of the class. I have to be in different views most of the time in a lot of circumstances. one of the times of standing in someone else's shoes to have a different view of things is babysitting four kids that I do every wensday night. I babysit two that have been taken away from their real family which I understand due to my father not wanting to do anything. Yet, the other two are not big fans or, bullies of the two little ones.


4. I hope the lasting impression that I have on this world would be my impression that I left on people not just with me being around them but me being a memory left in their heart for ever. I cant imagine myself on what I would leave in a impression on this world or anyone. Besides my laughter, tears and smile.

Dead Poets Society Review:

1. I believe in my opinion who changed the most in the movie "Dead poets society" was Todd which was a new student to the academy as well as Neil's roommate. Todd starts out as the most timid of the others in the movie but then, Todd starts to gain confidence in himself thanks to Mr. Keating and Neil's encouragement from them.


2.  The character who did not change that much in the movie "Dead Poets Society" would be Knox Overstreet, he changed just a bit from the boy who was book smart and daring to the boy who went after "Chris the girl of his dreams" as he claims. Yet, throughout this whole movie Knox did not change his feeling about Chris and kept chasing her until he could get her.


3. Mr. Keating's character is rather than just one character about himself. Mr. Keating in my opinion was trying to bring life and free thinking to the school, he also makes teaching poetry of English fun and always interesting for the boys to understand and learn. Yet, Mr. Keating is also fired/ kicked out of the school for teaching in unorthodox ways and learning about Neil's death. In other words Mr. Keating is character as a blithe spirit, a unorthodox yet cool teacher, a scrape goat and a saver for the boys.


4. Many of the boys over come large mountains that they believed that they couldn't just do on their own. Mr. Keating helped these boys in many ways with their many difficult times.
Todd Anderson was beating himself to death over how to read out loud and speaking up. Until, Mr. Keating helps him out by bringing him up in front of the classroom and shuts his eyes to view what he sees to show him that he can do exactly everything like everyone else. Neil was a boy of fear, a fear of speaking or standing up for himself to his father. He let his father take control of his life until Mr. Keating sat down and talked to Neil about the issues of Neil's father. Neil I believed failed at trying to talk to his father about his problems and just killed himself to solve the issues. Charlie  was a shy and timid boy in the begging of the movie who later spins out of control and falls into love with the "Girl of his dreams" as he claims her as, Charlie was always wanting to be himself and stand out of the crowd.

Focus on Mona Lisa Smile

I chose to answer number one and number five, number one asks what exactly were the roles of the women in the 1950s and how are they different from Katherine Watsons eyes?
The roles of women in the 1950s were portrayed as a different view in Katherine Watsons eyes, society believed that the women of the 1950s were to be able to have a education yet, marry, have children take care of those kids along with house and have dinner on the table by a certain time ( mainly before their husband made it home). As of Katherine Watsons eyes in this opinion of women of the 1950s were different, Katherine Watson believed that is not always the Ladies job to go to school, have a education and be able take care of family and house work.
Number five asks do you think that Betty was happy being married to Spencer, and note to self that her mother did not want to betty staying the night at her place but yet to go home. Why?
I believe that Betty was not happy at all with being married to Spencer nor, was Betty ready to take on the challenges of marriage and being a house wife. She didn't think it was right for Spencer to be able to leave every second he had and leave her. Her mother didn't believe that Betty had a right to sleep at her mothers house but yet to take care of Betty's own house and wait for spencer at home like a good wife should.
In conclusion yes the females role in the 1950s were different from now and Betty was not too happy with Spencer and her marriage.
