Tradition honor wisdom excellence discipline
I noticed that this school takes way more pride in their students’ education. And the students are way more willing to want to learn than the students in Stand and Deliver. These students have hope and know that they are going somewhere in life. The environment seems much more high class and proper. Everything in this movie is about the students education.
The teacher instructs the students to rip out the introduction in the poetry books. That probably would never happen in Stand and Deliver considering that they didn’t have very much money like they do in this movie. The environment in dead poets society seems very rich. Like I said in the previous paragraph, “high class”. The students are always together. They live together, they eat together and they go to class together. It is a very big deal for them to do something that’s not approved of whereas all the students did in Stand and Deliver was things that weren’t approved of.
The students find fun in reading poetry. They even make reading poetry sound fun. The poetry teacher makes the class fun by reading poetry in an amusing way.
I had the same thoughts these kids at Welton have lots of people that want them to succeed but no one really cared what happened to Mr. Escalante's class.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you on the difference in settings between the two movies. I also agree totally a different class of people.I think you missed the message that Mr. Keating was trying to send to the students when he had them tear out the introduction of their text. I think he did that because he was a prior student at that school and knew its strict curriculum that can keep children from being themselves or even have their own thoughts. I feel he came to teach at that school to teach the kids how to be their own person and have their own thoughts.
