Dead Poets Society

Kleinbaum, N. H.2006
Book
"Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, the flamboyant John Keating, has challenged them to 'make your lives extraordinary!' Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Death Poets Society -- a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild. As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of the language, but the importance of making each moment count. But the Dead Poets pledges soon realise that their newfound freedom can have tragic consequences. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams?"
