DPS Lesson Plan

Poetry in the movie is trying to tell us that it can not be graded on by a scale. Poetry is supposed to flow threw our ears and into our brains with a enjoyable sound. Poetry can also be expressed threw a personal experiences. When Mr. Keating says "Carpe Diem!" he means "seize the day!" don't throw your life away to what other people want from you but do what you want to do. "Carpe Diem!" inspired Neal and Todd to open up and wake up and smell the fresh air of their new life path ahead of them. Although Neal would take things to the next level in committing suicide he did show his braveness against his father about acting.

In the movie I find the that the main point is to "Carpe Diem!" than to learn poetry since most of the situations circulating around "seize the day!" lead to a death and a couple of changes in the group members personalities. So in my opinion poetry does have a large part but it is not really expressed threw the reactions of the students in his class. The reason why was because the movie did not show us how to use poetry besides "Carpe Diem!" in our lives. Over all I think the movie could have done better with expressing poetry more.
