The rest of the chapter in my eyes.

The Extension to Chapter 14 Death Scene

I couldn't take his ruthless ways anymore. I just wanted to be an actor. He doesn't understand the determination, and tenacity I have to become the greatest actor ever. I wish he would open his eye, and stop being so solemn for once. So I did what any beleived in rights would do, die for what I beleive in. I know that it would upset my friends, Mr. Keating, and my parents. I had to do something that would make my father pay for his unruly behavior. Goodbye world. I will never forget the last few days with my friends, and Mr. Keating. I hope that this is the rite thing to do. I know this is the right thing to do. 

My favorite Characters.

One character that strikes me is Mr. Keating. He is unique because his teaching skills are so different from other teachers, because his lessons cause a commotion, and interrupt the English lesson they should be learning. He is never bleak, he always is jubilant. I like him because he teaches things to boys that other teachers are to scared to bring up.

The other character is Neil Perry who strikes me as a risk taker. He used to be daddy's little boy he did everything he asked without question. Once Mr. Keating started pushing them to be who they are, Neil started to decide to become an actor. This goes against all of his fathers orders, and cause a lot of conflict between the both of them.

Dear Mother/Love Keating

Dear Mother,

     Welton Academy is an interesting school. The boys here are very polite, but very misshapen. These boys must be immersed in the life of a free thinker. I must illustrate how great it is to think for yourself and not have your parents make all of the decisions. Some of the boys are very arrogant in my class. They want nothing to do with poetry, and creative writing. All they want are straight A's and wealthy parents to get you into a good college. This really puts a little light on the subject. Mother, I am going to be the one to shape these boys into independent men. They will learn what it is like to be in love, they will learn how to speak for themselves, and they will strive to use that free thinking whenever they need to. 

Wish Me Luck,

John Keating

P.S. 

This school is an only boys school. I hope I can integrate this school with the females so the emotions boys feel will be written in the pieces they will be assigned from me.

Welcome to Welton Academy

I have just started reading this book yesterday, and I must say I am already intrigued by these young fine boys. Where it begins is the opening inaugural ceremony. The school is very religious, you can tell by the robes they are wearing. You hear in the first few pages the motto,  “Tradition,” “Honor,” “Discipline,” and “Excellence," they say with there audible voices. I think that these are difficult words to live by, especially for such young teenage boys. Also you hear soldiers, not boys when they talk to the head master. 

They sound like this "YES SIR!" I thin that that is very strange because they are not being trained to be soldiers, they are educated to become leaders. 

You meet the starring boys in the book, during the ceremony. Todd Anderson, and some of the most cerebral boys at school, Neil Perry, Richard Cameron, Charlie Dalton, Steven Meeks, Knox Overstreet, and Mr. Pitts, Mr. Keeting. They all become acquaintances shortly after the ceremony. You also feel the love of there parents, Neil's father strikes me because he just stood disappointed at his son when they were saying there goodbyes after the ceremony, that makes me think that he wants his son to do better than ever this year, he wants his son to be the best.

My Intro to DPS

My book I am reading is DEAD POET SOCIETY by N.H. Kleinbaum

I have seen the movie with Robin Williams in it, and I thought it was fantastic. The book, and the movie are quite different, but also have similar parts to it. For example, the book and the move have the same message, "It is better to me normal than to be different." (That message was in my own words.) I think this book sends a power message of stay true to who you are, and don't let the status quo get in the way of what you absolutely love. Also I think that it brings a dark message to when one of the boys does something his father doesn't approve of but he still wants it so bad. He pays the biggest price of all, he shoots himself with his father's gun. There are many mixed emotions throughout the book, most are good, but towards the end most of the boys change. Like at the very end when Mr. Keeting is fired, he grabs all of his stuff from his old desk, and all of the buys (even the ones who don't care about poetry) stand up on their desks. They stood there because of something wise Mr. Keeting told them, "boys why am I standing up here?" "To get a different perspective on the world around us, if you look at everything the same way then life would be boring!"
