"carpe diem"- seize the day

The theme of the movie is carpe diem. It's what Mr. Keating tells his class, when looking at the past students in the pictures. Mr. Keating is trying to let the boys see life differently and to follow there dreams. Neil follows his passion for theater, with a little motivation and advice from Mr. Keating. Knox goes for the his crush. Todd later in the movie breaks out of his shyness. Overall the boys seized the day, by there action they took, without anyone telling them to do different. Todd was one of many but more brave to stand up and speak up for Mr Keating to seize the day to "O Caption! My Caption!".

1. Todd was changed very much, cause in the beginning he was so shy to come out. Then Mr. Keating had got Todd and made him stand up in the class and tell him to forget about everyone else  and let the poem speak to you.

2.Cameron did not change throughout the movie. He talking and blamed everything on Mr Keating and spoke out about everything.

3.Mr Keating is his own independent man. Mr Keating does not change throughout the movie,with all the negativity looked at him, does not affect him. One thing he did change was to know when to stop, as for Neil and his father it was just not his place to speak and give Neil that advice. So after that he learned that he can not try and change people that follow by rules etc.

4. Todd Anderson had to overcome his fear of coming out etc. Neil Perry got help from Mr Keating to talk to his dad, and to tell him how he really felt. Knox Overstreet overcame himself to talk to his crush. Charlie overcame his ability to not be ashamed for expressing himself. Todd was the main character that changed throughout the whole movie at the end he was the first boy to confess to Mr Keating and stand on the desk to show his respect. He overcame his fear in help from Mr Keating but also Neil, he would talk to him and try to get him out and just come hangout with the boys. He did not fail as you saw in the ending was the first guy to speak the truth etc.

5. Betty's marriage to Spencer was all good but later on, she was unhappy. At first Betty's dream as for any of the girls in the movie was all about marriage. Once Betty was married, she was very unhappy with her relationship, Spencer was going to "New York". Betty really showed how unhappy she was, when she went off on Giselle and just broke down in tears. Betty's mother refused her to stay with her, because she is married with Spencer so she will stay with him. During this time people did not have such a strong belief on divorce also women did not have a lot of rights. 

3. Betty was a women who had one goal and that's it. What I mean, Betty was so determined to get married. So when she heard that Joan put in an application into Yale. Betty flipped and said what happened to marriage. At this time if I was Betty, I think I would react the same way. The only reason Joan didn't react like Betty was because Katherine talked to her and said she can do this and marriage at the same time. The girls at this time went by rules followed them, the school also taught the girls what the books say so the school had a affect on the way they are.
