the boys to rip out the entire introduction of their textbooks）

He en lighte ns stude nts ' gift, driv ing stude nts to liste n the voice of death so as to

in spire them to seize the day in the first class.

Telling them to find their own steps to trust their own beliefs are unique and

Mr.Keating was fired by the school in the end, what he taught to the students has been remembered by those young boys forever. Once in the En glish class, Mr.Keat ing said ” In my class you will learn to think for yourselves again. ” and I think if he asl

the boys whether they have met his requirement, the answer must be” Yesmy

capta in! ”
