1. The most influential person in my life would have to be Jesus/God. They have influenced my life majorly, in how I treat others, and how I try to be in my personal life. God is who I live for, and I try to give all of the honor to him when he blesses me. He shows me how to live a good life by the laws he gives me, and these are a very big influence on my life.
2.I think that Keating is trying to get his boys to believe that poetry is a way of life, and involves true passion, whereas other jobs are simply "noble pursuits". I do agree that SOME poetry can be very meaningful and passionate, but that is not the case with all poetry. I believe that we read poetry as a way of interpretation. It is not as much passion as it is a type of hieroglyphics in my opinion now a days.
3.I do agree with this quote from Keating. He is trying to get the boys to see that there are all kinds of views on a work. Not everyone has the same opinion about the same piece. When the boys realize this, it will let them be able to be their own person. I most likely have a personal story about this topic, but I have been sitting here for 30 minutes and still cannot think of any.
4. I hope that my 'verse', even if not very big, will still contribute to making this school, or world better. I know that I may not be very likely to have a major impact on the world, but I can still have a lasting impression on it, making it a slightly better place. I hope that people can see why I am here, and what I have come here to do. I would like to be a light leading others to Jesus, and it would be nice to know that I have accomplished this on a large, or small scale in life.
