The most influential person in my life I would say hands down my mother. My mother didn't read poems to me but she was there threw the thick and thin. Thats is who and why

Poetry is dumb to me and I personally do not read it. Poetry is dumb because I can come up with poetry and when your going threw hard times, poetry is not the answer. Most poets are atheist for example Langston Hughes and atheist do not have eternal peace so they tend to question everything because deep down they fear and dont have the answer to our existence.

Like again I personally think there is a yes or no there is no gray area. It's either black or white and nothing in between so thats how I view things. I dont try and dig for no other answer, the only answer is yes or no.

I dont care about what I leave behind. I dont save up my treasure here on earth where moth and rust collects and where thieves break in and steal but I store up my treasure in Heaven where it is safe and secure and where thieves cant steal and where dust and rust do not collect and there my heart will be also.

Questions

1. Would Neil still have committed suicide if Mr. Keating had never come into his life? Consider multiple perspectives here as you draft your group response.
No, if Mr. Keating would of never been in Neil's life then Neil would have never committed suicide. Mr. Keating taught the kids to be there selves no matter what others think and that is exactly what Neil did but his dad didn't like that.
2. Who was really the bravest of Keating’s boys? Who was a coward? Be explicit and support your answers.
The Bravest was Newanda because he was doing the most like when he pooled that phone prank. The coward is the orange hair kid because he just snitched on everyone and everything they did.
3. How did the poetry book make it into Neil’s room? (Did Keating put it there?) And if so, why, after telling the boys that the present administration would not look favorably on it, would Keating do that?
I believe Mr. Keating put it there as bait trying to get the boys get bite on to it and it worked. The boys especially Neil took  it and ran with it. Being an example by telling them that people arent going to approve of it but as long as you love it then that is all that matters.

This movie displays many types of themes if you ask me. The one that sticks out to me is that stand up for what you believe in. This movie shows and demonstrates how stuff was ran back then and how people viewed certain things. This movie shows that the kids just go to school then right after school they become doctors or whatever it might be. The problem with this is that this wasn't the kids passion and this inst what they wanted for themselves. For example, Neil wanted to act but his dad put him in the school so he could be a doctor or something, but when really Neil wanted to act. Then Neil went on to act when his dad told him not to and Neil had got in real trouble by his parents. Then long story short Neil ended up killing himself because he was too scared to stand up for what he believed in. During his time Mr Keeting was responsible for the suicide and had gotten in trouble for basically telling a kid to follow his dreams and do for himself rather than for other people. Mr Keeting just taught to be yourself and it doesn't matter what other people think about you, what matters is your opinion.

Questions

The only person that failed was Neil because he didn't stand up for what he believes in. All the other boys failed until at the end when they all stood on the desk and gave there farewells to the teacher. The only person that really stayed trued and overcame his hfear you can say was Mr. Keating.

Roles of women back then were totally different then what they are now. Like back then they had a standard to live up to and if they didn't they would be a dis grace. Also the women back then were just supposed to be house wives and that's it. They couldn't be anything else or strive for there dreams. Also the wives had to stay with there husbands even though they were cheating on them. Also the women back then were like there husbands slaves, like what ever the husband says then that's it and the women have no say so. These days women are free and can do whatever they like to. Also there are allot of gay women and back then I believe that was unheard of.

The relationships in the movie were crazy. The problem was that every relationship was trying to stay traditional and it just wasn't working. Until Cat came in and basically taught that you can be yourself and who cares what people think about you. Also there was that gay nurse and back then that was unacceptable and they like despised of her. The accepted relationships was a woman staying g with her husband and caring for him even if he was cheating on her. Also every one was shady and you couldn't even have a real relationship. Like all the relationships were fake and really they were forced. The relationships that they had was because of what the world thought it ought to be and it was just a mess and still is till this day. WE ARE IN THE END TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
