Dead poets society 2 (Click to select text)
Keating a British romantic poet wrote, "There is a time for daring and a time for caution, and wise man knows the difference." This means that in our lives we are going to be presented with situations, and if we are wise enough we will know when to take a dare and when to be cautious. We will be able to distinguish from a decision that can cause trouble, and a decision that will be risk taking but have fruitful results. In Dead Poet's Society, there is a kid who takes an unnecessary risk by publishing out in the school newspapers about the Dead Poets Society. He later gets caught and punished for what he did. In that case he was not wise and took a dare at the wrong moment. So we should always analyze first if it is wiser to be cautious or daring. Thoreu wrote that he wanted to "Suck the marrow out of life." I think this means making the best out of our lives. In another words we should take advantage of every minute we have, and do what we have to do. We have to get done what is supposed to get done. So that when we look back we can be satisfied at all that we have done. Because if we just lay back and leave everything for later, we will never be able to do the things that we have an urge for. Life is short, and time passes by quickly; so as every minute passes we should make the best out of it. In the movie the teacher Mr. Keating tells the students that the Dead Poets met in order to suck the marrow out of life. We have to do everything that is possible in order to suck the marrow out of life, as long as we are making wise decisions. To me conformity means to do what others are doing. In other words if you conform to something, you are just going along to that thing you are conforming to. I think conforming can be good at times, especially if you are trying to adapt yourself into a new environment. But again, you should always be yourself, and do what you think is right, and not what others think is right. You should never go along with what the world around you does or says just to fit in, when you are really going against your principles. As long as you are keeping your principles, and doing what you think is the best, then it is okay to conform.
