Dead Poet's Society: Significant Experiences; The Twists of Life.
Significant experiences are moments in life that create change not only in one's present period of life, but also dramatically alter one's view of the surrounding and forthcoming events. The impacts of such experiences are the opening of new doors in life, the realization of possibilities one would have never imagined sitting right under one's nose and the perception of details one never thought important before. They mostly temper peoples views of events, shedding a different hue of light upon them, revealing multiple possibilities that were once left in shadow. In Dead Poet's society, a handful of students discover through the exuberance of their English teacher what kinds of lives they had been leading, and what their lives could be. One student in particular,
Neil Perry, discovers a whole new world and his life is irreversibly changed as a result of the impact of his association with Mr. Keating. The lives of all the boys were drastically changed the day they met Mr.
Keating. "Carpe Diem" he told them. "Seize the day, make you lives extraordinary." With these few words, Mr. Keating opened the minds of his students to the broad possibilities that life held for them. The boys learned that they deserved more than the daily routine, that they were not satisfied with living up to the expectations of others. As a result, they re-established the Dead Poet's society, and consequently experienced what they had been protected from previously. The most significant change wrought from both the arrival of Mr. Keating and the re-instatement of the Dead Poet's Society was
Neil Perry's change in attitude. He realized what his dreams were, and to accomplish them, he had to do something he had never dared to do in the past, disregard the will of his father. Having lived under the iron rule of an oppressive father his entire life, Neil's spirit was in danger of smothering to death. The Dead
