Post-Viewing Activities; Dead Poet's Society

1. In my opinion Todd Anderson transformed the most throughout the movie. He started as a shy boy, but by the and stood up for his beliefs and for his teacher. He never wanted to get in front of the class, but he soon stood in front of them and, although nervous, gave a good performance.
2. I do not think that Nwanda/Charlie changes at all in the film, he always wanted to be his own person and never wanted to conform and be like the society.
3. Mr. Keating is an understanding character who wants the students he teaches to be original. I believe that he sees that his thoughts for the boys to be original are crippled by the system that he works in. He sees that his teaching to not conform in society can have consequences on him and his students. He is changed by his experiences in the classroom with the boys, and could change some of his ways of teaching by how he was treated at the school.
4. Todd Anderson was a shy, and quiet character who liked to stay to himself. He was an introvert, and was afraid of having to speak or do something in public.
Neil Perry was an extrovert who liked to get to know people and had a passion for acting. He had a fear of talking to his parents and telling them the truth. When he finally told them the truth they were not accepting and it led to some consequences.
Knox Overstreet was a caring person who had feelings for a girl that he saw. He was afraid of her boyfriend and telling her his feelings, and in the end was able to stand up and tell her how he felt.
Charlie Dalton was an outgoing person who liked to live on the wild side. He never wanted to listen to rules, and had a fear of conforming with society. He always wanted to be different than who he was around, no matter the situation. This led to him being punished many times throughout the film.
