Help in Dead Poets Society?!
Question: we have to do a test in class writing 5 pages, based on the movie Dead Poets Society, and can somebody please answer this question as soon as possible.
1. How did Todd, Knox, and Neil lived by- Carpe Diem?
2. Symbolic reference from the poem o caption my caption, to Mr. Keating
3. What did Keating suggest, being the scapegoat of Neil's death, about those who broke tradition?
4. The involvement in the dead poets society allowed them to see outside the box. How does that go against the four pillars: Tradition, Honer, Discipline, and Excellence.

I can't write you five pages . . .
Have you watched the movie? It is actually pretty good, and it has funny man Robin Williams in it.. So I promise it won't be boring..... If you watch it you should be able to answer these questions easily....
You can also read about the symbolisims here:

Here are a few cut/paste things I found with about five minutes of googling. After you watch the movie and google a few things, it should be smooth sailing..... But be smart about citing your sources.
1. Infected with grandiose concepts -- but without Keating's guidance -- the students interpret Horace's "carpe diem" and Thoreau's advice to "live deliberately" and "suck the marrow from the bones of life" as an invitation to act out recklessly. One student, armed with flowers and love poems, stalks an unimpressed townie girl. Another plays beatnik and nearly pushes the school to expel him for challenging their long-standing rules. And yet another defies his demanding father's orders to abandon acting by starring in a local Shakespeare comedy.

2. Keating instructs the students that they are to address him as "O Captain, My Captain." It makes sense that the film would use one of Whitman's more famous poems, but in the context of that poem (Lincoln's assassination) the choice seems unusual. After all, why would the teacher want to evoke the image of a leader "fallen cold and dead"? We could give the screenwriters the benefit of the doubt by saying that Keating is foreshadowing his own character assassination at the hands of the school's administration, and that the boys are left directionless after his termination, but that might be a stretch.
