February 18th:
     The theme of The Dead Poets Society is not to conform. Its about doing your own thing and not caring what other think or say about you. People do not always realize that what you're doing and how you do things is because you are passionate about it. They do not realize that you do it because you love it and that's what makes you happy. In the film, Mr. Keating tells the guys that they need to do their own thing. HE tells them that you do not have to have the same ideas as other poets. You do not have to write like older poets did. He helps them see that life isn't about doing everything like everyone else.
