Dead Poets Society #1
Dead Poets Society is a movie that compares the conflict between realism and romanticism. The setting takes place at an all-boys preparatory school named, Welton Academy. The academy is a traditional academy where many lawyers and doctors have graduated from. The schools’ light of knowledge stands in the principles of {Tradition, Honor, Discipline, and Excellence}, until a new English teacher named Mr. John Keating arrives with a passion for teaching romanticism, and showing his students a word they’ve never seen before. The first day of class, he goes into the classroom whistling, his students were pretty surprised, since everything is so serious in Welton Academy.
The story is predominately viewed through the eyes of Todd Anderson. Todd is a newcomer to Welton, and his roommate’s name is Neil Perry. Todd is very shy and terrified of anything he says for he is afraid that It is insignificant and meaningless. Todd usually gets told that he has “big shoes to fill”, since his brother was a valedictorian at that academy. Neil, in the other side, is very bright, optimistic and full of ambition, but with an over controlling father. His father, Mr.Perry, dictates every detail of his son’s life. He didn’t even let him have any extracurricular activities.
Mr. Keating has a very fervent lecture during his first day of class. He spoke to his students over their lives, and how important is it to leave a legacy. He tells them to rip out the introductory pages of their books. Which Charlie does it first than anyone else.

He talks to them about romantic poets, and has outdoor exercises to warn them about the dangers of conformity. He gets on top of the desk to show his students the different view from being under and standing on top. His students try it as well.
Then the students find a yearbook of Mr.Keating where they see that he was part of the Dead
