It's also one of my favourite movies because it depicts so well this great profession of teaching and in the best possible light - that of touching students' lives. None of the students who ever had a teacher who took them on a life changing experience will ever be the same. I think it's a highly rewarding relationship for both parties, which is rare in overall human relations burdened with issues of dominance and authority.

I've lived the Carpe Diem way of life ever since I can remember, I think. And I seldom fall short of inspiration to make my day memorable and worth living. It's only when I let other people in too far that I may experience the imbalance. And then I think again of the words that sum up this philosophy and act upon them. Yesterday is a dream, Tomorrow but a vision. But Today well lived makes every Yesterday a dream of Happiness, and every Tomorrow a vision of Hope. Look well, therefore to This Day. Seek out in it that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along which comes the inner voice saying: "This is the Real Me!" and when you have found that attribute, follow it. ♥ :)

Poet's Day???

Sure am! Finish work at 12:00 tomorrow!! Didn't think anyone else had heard of that expression!

dead poet's society please help?

ya, the key is not Poet's, but Society. Compare it to Lord of the Flies, (LOL what a concept!) The creation of a society as a "rite of passage".

The boys' inspiration, seize the day, Walt Whitman--a mad man!, R. William's character: my Captain, Oh my Captain, DEAD MEN speak from the grave to the changes going on in the boys becoming men. The poetry holds, contains the, even the most bizarre of notions--to the dismay of the establishment, the sovereign powers of the private school. And the GORgeous ending, when the Actor(?) played Puck in the Midsummernights...etc. shoots himself...a denial of the possible--the struggle of life, of being, AND of becoming,smashed, bitterly, tragically, like the Dead Poet''s Society, whose mantel may be taken up in the future, perhaps one of the young men will return to teach.
