Mr Keating Analysis

In Welton Prep Academy School, there was a replacement for an English teacher, Mr. Keating who shows how there is a difference between realism and opinions. Mr. Keating opens the eyes of his fellow students and shows them to not fear for what they dream of but to “carpe diem” seize the day. I agree with Mr. Keating philosophies because it opens the minds of the young boys, who has a lot of pressure with their parents and their school. We all live by rules set for us to follow them but not all rules let us show who we really are, what we want to be. It teaches them what poetry is really about, that it isn't just words but it has emotions and a storyline behind every poetry. Mr. Keating love for what he teaches he doesn't just have a lecture of what is in the English book, but to feel it. I think that if a teacher love for what they teach that makes a big difference to a teacher not caring about the subject. It makes you want to learn about what part of that subject makes your teacher show passion towards their teaching methods. There was a quote that Mr. Keating also inspires me “ I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.” it inspires me that you have to look at things in one way there is any possibility to look at it from a different point of view.

Keating during his departure because he gave us something to think of and we should thank him in the most honorable way he deserve. He gave something to appreciate of life and that we can make the best in everything depending if we try to carpe diem. I would have also said “O Captain! My Captain!” since the departure of Mr. Keating is gonna be a great loss to the students. The movie left me to think of what have I done with my life have I seize it or have I just went with the crowd. I will try to seize the day to every effort I can give it and I won't let nobody push from my path that was meant to

The Devil in the White City portrays the Chicago World’s Fair as a significant event that set itself in America’s history books as one of its greatest achievements. Though the Fair itself was a sensation alone, with all its dazzling features and worldwide attention, the Fair was not the only significant even happening in Chicago at the time. This event however involved murders hidden by the shining brilliance of the Fair. The murderer in question, arguably America’s first notable serial killer, was H. H. Holmes. Through the use of descriptive imagery, the juxtaposition between him and the World’s Fair, and the one self-defining allusion of Holmes, Erik Larson provides the reasons why Holmes truly is the Devil of the White City.

Writers and poets often spread deep meaning in ordinary things: bowl can represent our parents’ heritage, food can represent our relationships with people and chocolate bar can be a symbol of childhood or green tea can be a symbol of love. Those simple things can be really meaningful, but mostly all authors understood the meaning of those objects and the value of the moments that they had lived only after several years. To take things for granted is a human nature, isn’t it? Children usually don’t listen to the voice of their parents, but when they grow up they understand how precious those lessons were.

An important point I learned after reading Holler if You Can Hear Me by Gregory Michie is that teachers should care about their students because students will learn more if they know you care and then they will care to learn . Mr. Mitchie believes his students don’t care enough to learn about sexism, but the truth was that they were tired of spending 2 weeks on the same lesson. Mr. Mitchie will then get angry at his class and tell them that if they didn’t care to learn then he wouldn’t make them. In another instant a teacher named Miss. Reilly was tired of her class not listening to her that she threatened to quit, but a student named Samuel wrote her a letter and told her not quit.

Paulo Friere’s essay “The ‘Banking’ concept of education” is a short writing that explains the two types of education concepts that exist according to Friere. In the Film “Dead Poet Society”, both of these concepts are shows through many examples from the school’s old methods of a banking concept, to Mr Keating’s, played by Robin Williams, demonstration of a “problem-poser”. Throughout the course of the Film we are exposed to both methods of education, and their impact on the lives of the students at Welton Academy. Dead Poets Society explores the banking concept of education taught from the traditional educators present at the prep school, and the change of the students as John Keating bring to their world a non-traditional way of teaching at Welton through a more open method of teaching and learning from each other, Frier’s Problem-poser method of education.

Julia Alvarez, in her poem “’Poetry Makes Nothing Happen’?”, writes that poems do play a role in people’s lives. She supports her idea by using relateable examples of how poems might change someone’s life. Her first example is simple, poetry can entertain someone on long drives. This does not only aply to long dirves however, Alvarez uses this to show that poetry does not have to have a big influence on someone’s life, instead it can affect a person in the smallest of ways, such as entertainment. The second example describes poetry comforting someone after the loss of a loved one.

We all need that safety net as we struggle forward; this message of the safety in the middle of the uncertain change is true and descriptive of our early college years today as well. IV.

Time serves an important factor here, since it accommodates for the possibilities of change and improvement. Trethewey's message of the poem is clear, she believes that the future always carries hope and one should never cease to hope for a better life. In addition, the title of the poem “History Lesson” carries a significant weight, it is a “History” that Trethewey wants to show the readers and it is a “Lesson” because she wants people to learn from it and most importantly, not make the same mistake that will permanently leave wounds in people's

Is Mr. Keating a good english teacher? In my opinion, yes because he shows so much he cares about his students and his passion teaching his way, not by a book. Mr. Keating teaches his students about being more independent and more passionate about what they want to do or be. Mr. Keating is doing this because many of the parents are putting so much pressure on their kids to become a doctor or a lawyer. The reasons why many of the students listens to Mr. Keating is because he uses different teaching skills, making it seem more fun.

Mary Oliver’s poem “Wild Geese” was a text that had a profound, illuminating, and positive impact upon me due to its use of imagery, its relevant and meaningful message, and the insightful process of preparing the poem for verbal recitation. I first read “Wild Geese” in fifth grade as part of a year-long poetry project, and although I had been exposed to poetry prior to that project, I had never before analyzed a poem in such great depth. This process of becoming intimately familiar with the poem—I can still recite most of it to this day—allowed it to have the effect it did; the more one engulfs oneself in a text, the more of an impact that text will inevitably have. “Wild Geese” was both revealing and thought-provoking: reciting it gave me
