Book Review

“Dead Poets Society” is a novel by N.H. Kleinbaum, which was adapted from an Academy Award-winning film of the same name(the movie came first). The story takes place in the 1950s at an all-boys preparatory school called Welton Academy, where the new English teacher, Mr. Keating, inspires his students to think for themselves and embrace their individuality through the teachings of poetry.

The story revolves around a group of students, Neil Perry, Todd Anderson, Charlie Dalton, Knox Overstreet, Steven Meeks, and Richard Cameron, who are taught by Mr. Keating, a former Welton student himself. Mr. Keating introduces them to the idea of “carpe diem,” or “seize the day,” and encourages them to think outside the box and pursue their passions.

The novel offers an excellent portrayal of the students’ transformation from passive followers to independent thinkers. Through Keating’s teaching, they learn to appreciate poetry’s beauty and to see the world in a different light. Keating’s approach to teaching challenges the school’s traditional approach, which emphasizes conformity and discipline. He inspires the students to question authority and to think for themselves.
