1. What’s the running theme of the film?

The theme of died poets society reflect humans resistance of traditional education which lack of humanization and the pursuit of the freedom of thought , This film also tell us to” seize the day and cherish our lives” . From the love that student to Keating ,we can easily see that Keating bring students happiness ,at the same time our students really need the freedom of thought and the right of pursuitting happiness . Students in this film were asked to long for love, seize the moment and being-towards-death. Maybe the background of society or families restricts person’s development, but we must realize the value of our lifes and show our talents at a apparent time ,of course ,it does not mean the cost of our lives.

2. Do you like Keating’s educational ideas and his special ways of teaching and why?

If you ask me,do you like Keating. I will answer quickly without any hesitate yeah,of course ,I like both Keating. but his way of teaching is lake of reality .To tell the truth, Keating’s mind is not teacher’s mind but poet’s mind. So presumingly, I admit that Keating bring so much happiness and laughter to these student ,but he just brings children into his field without teaching students how to adapt themselves to terrible changes. When student like Neil finds out that there is dissimilarity between imagination and the reality, they become confused,they cant do a right choice, even suicide. To sum up, Keating is a good friend to adult, and a dangerous teacher to young people.

3. Do you think we can imitate Keating’s way of teaching? What difficulties

are we facing if we do?

We can pick out some points to apply. For example, Keating asked his students to tear the book because “The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”(From the bible). And once, Keating let students jump on the teacher’s desk and see the world in a different view. What can we learn from that? Our Chinese students are not consistent with our own perspectives. Maybe we can encourage students to talk about dreams, frustrations, and ideas for change. We should love our books, but we can try to question well-known opinions, and argue with Ancient Oracles. Building up this capacity of creation is simply not an overnight process. in fact, there are several difficulties to learn this educational way. For example, if we teach in Keating’s way , the class will be no order ,and some student can work seriously, but others may not listing,even trouble.

4. Why is the o powerful and how can we break it out?

Tradition is powerful because it is accumulation of knowledge and experience for quite a long time. Tradition is thousands of years culture essence of precipitation .moat of us all admit it .At least it was correct in the past. Before we break it out we should recognize the differences in the past and present and find out what can be improved. Whenever we challenge tradition, we can’t reverse it completely. We should do something new at the base of these tradion ,only did these ,can everything be better.
