1. I think Neil still would've committed suicide even if Mr. Keating hadn't came into his life, because he couldn't stand up to his dad. He also would've choose acting and wouldn't have told his dad and it all would've ended the same way.
2. Bravest would have to be Knox or Todd, Knox is brave the whole movie and he does whatever he wants and says what he feels, Todd is very brave at the end, no one would've done what he did and I think that makes him very brave.
3. I think Mr. Keating put it in the room so that someone would see it and take it into consideration and live by that book and to teach them to do what they say and to seize the day.

I think the overall theme of the movie would be to seize the day, and do what makes you happy. Mr. Keating told them that the first day, and he taught them how to do so throughout the whole story. They all seemed to seize the day one point or another. Todd seized the day on the day that Mr. Keating got fired and stood on top of that desk because its what he believed. Neil Seized the day the day he decided to stop listening to his dad and doing what he wanted most, to act. Also Knox, he probably seized the day the most, he was daring, didn't want to be like anyone else, he was brave. They all seized the day by standing by Mr. Keating the whole story, also by being a part of the dead poets society. Mr. Keating said that they were all gonna die one day so you might as well seize the moment and be you.

1. The character I think changes the most throughout the movie, would have to be Todd, he went from being such a shy kid to standing on a table top in front of everyone.
2. Knox didn't change the whole film, he was daring and didn't wanted to be conformed at all the whole movie, he didn't change.
3. He is changed by the boys and who they become, he is still same person not changed too much but those boys changed his perspective on life.
4. Todd feared not being accepted for he was, so he just didn't talk in front of a lot of people till the end, He was a great poet though. Neil feared his father and his approval, he was very good at hiding his emotions and his pain from everyone, including his father, he was a fun person and was great at acting and he loved it. Knox was scared of being like everyone else, he wanted to be his own person not be just another person in the crowd, he wanted to stand out, he was fearless. I believe all of them overcome their fears in some way.

Katherine Watson's teaching style was very different and "unorthodox" because she didn't play by the schools rules. All of the girls knew all the facts, they just needed to gain an opinion about things, and learn to think for themselves. She did not use text books, she used art and told them they didn't have to like it, they only had to consider it. They began to gain an opinion and understanding that they could do so much more than just be a house wife. She believed in every one of those girls, never gave up on any of them. Her teaching style may have been unorthodox but it helped those girls change their views on women and helped them gain an opinion and realize they have a ot of potintial to do whatever they want.
Betty and Spencer marriage was not a good one, you could tell she wasn't happy, He was never around, never there for her like she needed him to be. I felt like she was only married to him because she felt that she needed a man to help her. Later she realized that she didn't need someone that didn't need her. I also feel like her mother wanted her to marry him more than she ever did. Her mother was very old fashioned, didn't believe in divorce, and she wanted Betty to make the marriage work no matter what. Betty becomes a stronger women at the end and divorces him even without her mothers content.
