The plus? Takes less time to read than watching the movie. So I guess if you're pressed for time ... nah. Just watch the movie. It's a bazillion times better. And then you get to watch young, cute, tortured Sean Robert Leonard for 2 hours. It's a win-win. Needless to say, this story definitely shaped me and left a profound impact on my psyche and understanding of the world. La llegada de un profesor de literatura les provee a estos jóvenes el descubrimiento de la filosofía “Carpe Diem”. Se hallan, por primera vez, ante un adulto que lejos de moldearlos para encajar en las filas de Harvard o un despacho legal los alienta a vivir el momento, a profundizar en la vida y su sentido, a desvelar la belleza que se esconde en el verso y al verso que desvela la belleza que pasa inadvertida al ojo desolado e indiferente. Keating los alienta a ahondar dentro de sus espíritus para hallar qué los motiva y a luchar por defender su individualidad y el valor de ésta en un mundo que pisotea fervientemente el ardor creativo en post de la eficiencia mecánica.

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. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams? Sin embargo, mirándolo en retrospectiva, tampoco libero de toda responsabilidad al propio John Keating de los sucesos que desencadenan el desenlace, pero en el sentido de que no fue capaz de prever cómo sus enseñanzas ahondarían la desesperanza en jóvenes que aún no tenían todas las herramientas para enfrentar la vida, sobre todo en una época marcada por los prejuicios. I watched Deat Poets Society movie a few years ago and I still sometimes watch its clips. It’s one of my all-time favorite And how can I forget about John Keating! “O Captain! My Captain!”. Keating is like The Person we all need to meet at least once in our life time and it’s our misfortune that rarely we meet people like him.And Todd, Todd is so precious. His poems, his love, his loneliness, you can’t help but love him and want to comfort him. I love how he stands for the Captain at the end and told his parents off.

When you read, don’t consider only what the author thinks, but take time to consider what you think.” with passion! Medicine, law, banking—these are necessary to sustain life. But poetry, romance, love, beauty? These are what we stay alive for! P.S. Yes, I love tragic books and yes, I love having my heart ripped out of my chest and torn into tiniest pieces, as well as my soul aching in despair and frustration for the character. Since I'm a quite logically driven person and not really emotional overall in life, I like it when books have a certain effect on me because it's rare that something "shakes me awake". It's hard to make me sob because I try to over rationalise characters, their mindsets, lifestyles as well as their (in my opinion overly silly and unrealistic) actions, which often solely leads to annoyance or indifference related to the story, so I'm just glad when I can actually cry because of a book and "it hits a nerve". I don't know how long it will take me to recover from this book and story and, genuinely speaking, I don't think I'll ever recover from it anyway.
