  • Dead Poets Society Coming Of Age Essay

    520 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Dead Poet’s Society” is a film set in the late fifties at a prestigious school for boys called the Welton Academy. The story focuses on an unorthodox English teacher and his impact upon his students, especially a group of seven boys. The primary focus of this film, in my opinion, is the theme of coming of age. The film itself highlights many important and relevent issues that teenagers face in the process of trying to find out who they are as a person. The students are constantly pressured to conform by adults throughout most of the film. Although these adults are only trying to help the boys, it is important that they figure themselves out and develop their own way of thinking. When the boys realize this, they grow up themselves. The character of Todd is a fantastic example of this. Throughout most of the film, this shy boy is ultimately unwilling and reluctant to go against what he is told. When Neil commits suicide, he begins to see the world in a very different way and understands that sometimes questioning the decisions and regulations accepted by society is necessary.

    He stressed the part of language and the significance of cooperations and relationships amongst grown-ups and kids. He trusted that the individuals, such as teachers, parents/guardians or people of kin, help build the learning of children. This was obvious in my observation, the teacher was a good model of this. For the first part of the day (during free time), the teacher allow the students to explore and play to their liking. But to the class being small, she could see and what everybody was doing without strolling around the room. One thing I notice was how well behaved the the kids were, which reduced the requirement for the teacher to constantly watch out for troublemakers. While four of the children where playing the duck, duck, goose game, she strolled over to them and began walking behind the leader and tapping the kids on the heads too, they thought it was so amusing. She encouraged the "goose" to run and catch the leader. The first boy that was selected as a goose, became a little upset when they did not catch leader. The teacher took an positive approach and explain to the young boy, that it was okay, it was game and that he would get another chance. Overall, the kids connected and played with each other well.

    I never once in my life sat down with myself and really thought about what my parents had to go through and all the sacrifices they had to make in order to ensure that I have a better life and a brighter future. Thinking back now, the frustration I feel eats away at me constantly that I was not more thankful and did not do more to help. This is most definitely a lesson that is learned better late than never. Going forward now I have three main focuses for when I enter college, the first is undoubtedly God and my spiritual life, which forced me to have this revelation. The second focus has to be my family, which I appreciate and value more than ever now. The final focus I have, but certainly not the least, is to be successful in my endeavors throughout college. Seeing how much my parents cared for me by seeing them work as hard as they could just so my siblings and I could live a better life gives me all the motivation in the world to work as hard as I can to not only give back to them, but for my future children to live an even better life than I

In school, students cannot pick the courses they want to study because it is mandatory. Class timing in high school is fixed and is schedules are not flexible. Most high school students are dependent on their teachers as well as their parents to remind them of their responsibilities.
