Teachers come and go but sometimes individuals stick with you as Mr Keating did for the boys at Welton Academy in “The Dead Poets Society”. Mr Keating's good intentions and controversial teachings were twisted by the school that he worked at and used against him as he became the scapegoat for one of his students, Neil Perry's death. Mr. Keating was not responsible for Neil Perry's death, but he was used as a scapegoat by the school. Mr. Keating helped Todd Anderson blossom by making him come up in front

between Mr. Keating, and the boys was the basis for many events in this movie, such as the reformation of the Dead Poets Society or the D.P.S, and the eventual dismissal of Mr. Keating. Mr. Keating was a very unique teacher that had a unique teaching method, and these facts contributed to the new way of thinking the boys had decided on. The boys decided to live like they never had before and this lead to both sad, and happy events through out the movie. The close connection that Mr. Keating had with

In 1989, Peter Weir directed the movie Dead Poet’s Society. In this movie, Mr. Keating starts a new job at an all boys preparatory school, Welton. While here Mr. Keating introduces many new concepts to the boys that they normally don’t learn at the school. Throughout this movie, the life concept that Mr. Keating teaches the boys that sticks with them the most is “Carpe Diem” or “seize the day”. He teaches this lesson to the boys by taking them down to where all past class photos are placed. He has

In my opinion the two boys that were most affected by Mr. Keating, are Neil and Todd respectively. Both were affected in different ways and Mr. Keating had different effects on them. For Todd it takes a little while longer than Neil but he still seems to have been influenced greatly. Todd Anderson was a quiet and shy kid who couldn’t find his voice. He was what people would call a “follower” in a group. Todd wouldn’t add anything to a conversation unless asked a question. Basically he didn’t want

film. Not only did I observe it, but it was also defined by Mr. Keating during class time. Conformity is when one or a few people are influenced by a majority of other individuals to follow suit, hence not being themselves or expressing any creativity. Conformity is negative because it causing an individual to not express their opinions/beliefs and it is a non-individualized way of living. The obvious example from the film was when Mr. Keating explained conformity and how all the boys were walking at

mental/nonreality part of literature and the mind. Mr. Keating was an actor played by Robin Williams in the movie The Dead Poets Society and he used transcendentalism greatly. The death of Neil Perry and the reckless behavior of the boys were not due to the teaching of Mr. Keating but rather the school using Mr. Keating as a way of not dealing with Neil's death. One reason for Mr. Keating being scapegoated was because of the Dead Poets Society. Mr. Keating was originally a part of the group and when the

it the “crown of the virutes.” Indeed, Howard Roark and Mr. Keating both qualify as examples of Aristotle’s “the proud man” through their actions and reactions, but while Roark’s pride is used as an excuse for violence and impracticality, Mr. Keating’s pride paints him as a respectable and decent man. The Welton School in Dead Poets Society offers little in regards to living space, as pointed out by Neil when he visits Mr. Keating. Mr. Keating replies, “it’s part of the monastic oath. They don’t want

“Carpe Diem” a quote by Mr. Keating, a teacher in the movie “Dead Poets Society” uses this philosophy which means “Seize the day”. The 1989 film takes place in 1959. He thought his students should use little thought from textbooks and think with their own ideals, in a school where Tradition, Honor, Discipline, and Excellence are praised. In today’s society, this practice appeals more to parents and colleagues. For parents and Teachers in 1959, Mr. Keating’s teaching style was not approved of. But

Mr. Keating and Finny both embody individuality throughout the film and novel. Throughout the film, Mr. Keating expresses his unique personality in several ways. Mr. Keating has an unusual teaching style, unlike the strict and uniform style of the other teachers at Welton. It is much more relaxed, and the students tend to enjoy class more. His style, much like his personality, are very unique and creative. One way he expresses his unique teaching style was by having his students rip out the introduction

person who is held reliable for someone else's wrongdoing is called a scapegoat. As in the movie, “The Dead Poets Society”, the character Mr. Keating is unjustly portrayed as a scapegoat. This unfortunate situation arises from the boys’ disruptive behavior and insubordination at Welton, as well as the tragic death of Neil. However, it is important to note that Mr. Keating is not to blame for any of these incidents. The truth behind his innocence becomes evident through the schools disapproval of his teaching
