Representaion As Books Dead Poets Society
Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, the flamboyant John Keating, has challenged them to "make your lives extraordinary! " Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Dead Poets Society--a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild. As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of language, but the importance of making each moment count. But the Dead Poets pledges soon realize that their newfound freedom can have tragic consequences. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams?

I can't remember ever rating a book at one star. Oh, yes I do. Wuthering Heights. And I HATE that book.Okay. I love this film. Loved it in the late 80s and I love it still. The movie is not based on the book; the book is based on the movie. It's not great. It's little more than a copy of the screen play. (Which probably would have been a better read.) The writing was poor. Drab. Telling. The author quoted the school dog. "Gggrrr." I'm not kidding. There were some small liberties taken, as IDead poets society, N.H. KleinbaumDead Poets Society is a 1989 American drama film directed by Peter Weir, written by Tom Schulman, and starring Robin Williams. Set in 1959 at the fictional elite conservative Vermont boarding school Welton Academy, it tells the story of an English teacher who inspires his students through his teaching of poetry.

I love the movie but this book just doesn't evoke any of the feelings the movie did. You can tell it was written after the movie, the writing style is boring and overly simplified.
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weatherd every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;But O heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.O Captain! my Captain!rise up and hear the bells;Rise upfor you the flag is flungfor you the bugle trills,For you bouquets and ribbond wreathsfor you the shores
3,5*For those of you who wonder: the book is based on the movie and you notice that while reading
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying;And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he's a-getting,The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he's to setting.That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And while ye may, go marry;For having lost but once your prime, You may
We dont read and write poetry because its cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion." A breathtaking story that comes with a great message. Deserves extra points for the beautiful poetry and for making me cry like a child :) "You must strive to find your own voice and the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all.
