Dead Poets Society Part 2

Good Teaching
            Mr. Keating advocates for self-thinking and doesn't care what Mr. Nolan says about that. Mr. Keating truly cares about what his students want to be and who they are. He invited Neil into his office and listened to his passion for acting and the fact that he couldn't tell his father because he disapproved. He listened and pushed Neil to tell his father that he wanted to act, despite his disapproval. Every student of Mr. Keating’s followed their dream and followed what they wanted to do even if it was considered “not the right thing.” My. Keating taught them how to strive for what they believed in. Mr. Keating cared passionately for his students. He wept when Neil killed himself because he had a special connection to him. Not just to him but with all of his students.





Bad Teaching

            The administrators of the school don’t let the students have room to breathe and room to say what they want. They have no freedoms and no room to speak. Also, the teachers use violence to get what they want out of their students. Mr. Nolan spanked Charlie because he wanted girls to come the school. Mr. Nolan doesn't support the boys thinking for themselves. Neil’s father doesn't listen to what he wants to do.
