Thursday

1) I think Neil Perry would still have committed suicide even if Mr. Keating had not come into his life. Suicide is usually never a last minute decision in my opinion. Therefore, Neil would have probably still killed himself later in his life because this thought was most likely in the back of his mind for a while.
2) I think the bravest of the boys was Neil. He made the most changes in his life even though his decision of suicide ended it all. Before that though, he organized the Dead Poets Society, he joined a play, he encouraged his friends, and he stood up for himself. Richard Cameron was the most cowardly of the boys. He was never really into the Dead Poets Society and he joined because he most likely felt he had too. He was the first to state Mr. Keating was at fault for Neil's death and he never embraced carpe diem.
3) It is suggests that Keating did put the poetry book in Neil's room. Of course he had to say the administration would frown upon it because just because they would doesn't mean Keating did himself. He clearly was all for bending the rules, since that's all he did when he was their age.
