    The Dead Poets Society

    The Dead Poets Society Personally, I wasn’t too sure where this movie was going. Robin Williams made an excellent teacher in the movie. I was really confused as to who the main character was supposed to be though. At first I thought it was Ethan Hawk’s character Todd. But at the end I was confused, because I thought it could be Neil or Mr. Keating. “Carpe Diem,” I felt was the theme of the story.

  • Dead Poets Society

    Dead Poets Society

    Synopsis: Robin Williams stars as Mr. Keating, an English teacher at an elite, all-boys' prep school, where the emphasis is on tradition rather than free-thinking. Keating tries -- through exposure to the canon of Western "dead poets" -- to give the future lawyers, bankers, and doctors an appreciation of life, love, and beauty. In the process, however, he arouses the suspicion of the school's administration for his unorthodox methods and chumminess with the starved-for-enlightenment students.

    The Colonies by 1763: A New Society?

    Between the settlement at Jamestown in 1607 and the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the most important change that occurred in the colonies was the emergence of a society quite different from that in England. Changes in religion, economics, politics and social structure illustrate this Americanization of the transplanted Europeans. By 1763, although some colonies still maintained established churches, other colonies had accomplished a virtual revolution for religious toleration and separation of church and state.
