Dead Poets Society

BRAVERY

Dead Poets Society is a movie filled with many different types of bravery. In fact does all of the characters show it, some more than others. Bravery involves doing something you don't really want to. It takes a lot of courage to take a step like that, but usually - it makes you stronger. A word that's close connected to bravery, is self-confidence. Not believing in you makes it hard to be brave, and raise the "bravery-step" even higher. The film presents a lot of different characters with a lot of different personalities. Like I said do all of them show some kind of courage, but unlike personality's results in unlike bravery. The attention one of the main character think is uncomfortable, does the other one appreciate. Every human is different, no one is alike, and therefore can I say that bravery exist in a lot of different types.

John Keating is a new teacher at Welton Academy. In contrast to the other masters is Keating teaching in an untraditional way. For example: In one of his first periods did he tell every student to rift out some pages from the schoolbook, crunch them and throw them. He thought the pages were unnecessary in his teaching, and every student followed the order. Which teacher would actually do that? That's right: No one, except John Keating. He instructed his students the way he believed was right with not even blinking.

Neil Perry, one of the students at Welton, wanted badly to be an actor. Even when he knew that his parents were negative to that thought, did he fight for the place of the main character in the school theatre. He performed the play in front of his father's bitter eyes, and completed even when he saw how angry he was.

Todd Anderson was a new student at Welton Academy. He was a shy guy who refused to talk out loud in class and nearly didn't move a finger in public if he could evade. Todd has a huge progress from the start to the end of the film. The whole movie closes with him screaming to one of his teachers that another teacher is innocent before he raise up and stands on the top of his desk. It's not that screaming to a teacher or stand on the table is a good thing in every situation, but in the film did it show that Todd was brave enough to fight for justice, and even if he couldn't make a big difference about the choice the headmaster had taken, he at least tried - bravely.

I think the bravest character you get to know in "Dead Poets Society", is Todd. How he raised his voice, stood on the desk, fought for another man's innocence in front of the whole class - impresses everyone. Even an attention-addicted teenager would think once and twice before doing something like that. On the one hand did Todd only do the right thing and could be sure of the fact that every other student in that classroom followed his lead. On the other hand did he not know how the teacher would
