Seize the Day
Dead Poets Society tells about the story of students at the Welton Academy, which is a famous preparatory school in Vermont. The plot centers on how Mr. Keating, a young and exciting English and poetry teacher, who is determined to teach his students to live life with absolute passion, tutors his students to challenge the institutions around them.
O Captain,my Captain —it ’s what the students call Mr. Keating.When he wants them to rip out the entire introduction and leave nothing of it,it seems that this kind of spooky deed shocks all the students,but later what’s really inside of them is aroused.They are encouraged to stand upon the desk to look at things in a different way and trust that their beliefs are unique,even though others may think them odd or unpopular.This teaching method makes Knox Overstreet chases Chris and Todd Anderson reads his own poetry aloud in front of the class and Neil tries out for a part in a play.
We have been limited since we were born.There are a great many rules and judgement around us which we are asked to do everything in accordance with.We all have a great need for acceptance,which lead us to act like all the other people regardless of ideas of our own.But life is short.Each and every
one of us is one day going to stop breathing,turn cold and die.We don ’t have to perform.Just make it for ourselves.Just like what Mr.Keating tells the students,we don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute.We read and write poetry because we are members of humen race.And human race is filled with passion.Seize the day. Live deep and suck out all the marrow out of life.
Carpe diem. To put to rout all that was not life and not,when I had come to die,discover I had not lived.
