一、电影的主题是什么？
This story talks about a famous school, a group of rich students, a great teacher and the dead poets society. A sad one that can move anyone and cause one to think of our life we are leading.
The plot is about a number of students who are taught by Williams about life. They are taught how to enjoy themselves. This ends up causing great controversy among the heads of the school. The students are terrific and even the dialogue is great.
What this film showed me was that we have the responsibility and the joy of being alive in this planet. That we are dust, and we will go back to it, so we have precious little time to make a difference. That we have a moral obligation to \
That the world, basically is ours. That the only limitations are within ourselves, and that we owe it to us to fight, to rebel against conformity, to change what we hate and keep what we love. That living in this world is a beautiful responsibility, and that only cowards dare not to change it for the better. This is the story of students at the respected “Welton academe”, a preparatory school in Vermont.

Such schools in Vermont. Such schools were(and often still are ) very conservative institutions that serve as high schools for parents who insist on sending their children to the best university. Welton, like many prep schools, admitted only boys. The movie takes place in 1959.
Mr. Keating, a young and exciting English and poetry teacher, who is determined to teach his students to life with absolute passion. Mr. Keating , using poetry as his vehicle teaches his students to challenge the institutions around them. The energetic man asks his student to call him Mr. Keating or ‘O Captain My Captain!’ It’s written by a poet named Walt Whitman about Abraham Lincoln. The private Welton Academy is a lifeless, completely cut off the world school.
You will find the freedom of spirits ,the revelation of souls and the complicated story happened between the young students
The movie was only a group of rebellious students rebelling against traditional education. Right in this time, a non-traditional person happened to become their teacher. The conclusion was that the non-traditional yielded to the traditional , and the really prevailed against the romantic. The amazing behavior at the end of the movie was not shallow affectation, but a great shock of audiences’ hearts. The boys standing on the desks bid the most formal farewell to their best teacher with the firmest expression in their eyes. The kettledrums ringing, the bagpipes playing, the movie reached its climax The second view of the movie left me a clear train of thoughts and a clear tenet. Every class given by Keating was a wonderful performance, greatly inspiring his adolescent students to emancipate themselves from such ideas as the study only and study for a good school. He knew what they needed most was to understand life and broaden their mind and vision so that they could shake off worldly affairs as fame and wealth and enjoy the life, love and poetic purity. His romantic enlightenment had no doubt wielded a profound influence on the boys’ mind and soul. 二、你喜欢基廷的教育方式吗？为什么？
The plot is about a number of students who are taught by Williams about life. They are taught how to enjoy themselves. This ends up causing great controversy among the heads of the school.
这种教育方式不是简单地传授知识，而是在告诉学生要怎样去认识自己，认识这个世界。任何知识不是灌输给学生的，而是被激发出来的。人们天生就有一些才能，这些才能在教育的过程中被逐渐挖掘出来，这个过程漫长且不确定。当基廷这样的老师出现时，这些学生并幸运地被挑选了出来，他们度过了少年时期一个充满激情的难忘岁月，尽管故事的结局有些遗憾。 This education is not simply to impart knowledge, but to tell the students to acknowledge themselves, understanding the world. Students are not been taught any knowledge, which can be stimulated out . Some people are born to talent that can be gradually Been excavated in the education process, but process seems long and uncertain . When this teacher -Keating -appears, the students had been luckily singled out, with a passionate and memorable teenager terms, despite the end of the story with some regrets.
三、基廷的教育方式可以被我们模仿吗？如果模仿了，我们会遇到什么困难？
这种教育方式可能很难被复制，因为这是一个特定时期的产物。是正确的人遇上了正确的时间。在一个保守而古老的学校里，这种特别的教育方式显得难以捉摸，我们不能脱离于这个社会单独地思考问题。在一个传统教育背景的束缚下，很多事情不是一个人所能左右的。守旧意味着顽固，而反抗旧的制度意味着要与统治力量作斗争，这种斗争必然要带来牺牲，或者也可能被压制。新生力量势必要遭到打击和痛苦。

This education may be difficult to replicate, because it’s the product of a particular period. When the Appropriate people attend at the right time, this form of education will happen. In a conservative and old school, this particular form of education seems extraordinary to achieve , we can not think beyond society . On the background of a traditional educational, many things can not been controlled by people. Old-fashioned means stubborn, and if we want to resist it , we must conflict with the old institution , that needs sacrifice .But we may still fail to overcome them or may be suppressed by them. New force may be hit and suffering will come to us. 四、为什么传统如此强大，我们该如何打破它？
因为传统有一大批人在守护，这些人无法接受新的事物，新的东西。当新生力量开始背离了传统的要求时，一些人就会打压新势力，认为他们是破坏原有和平安定的不良因素。而且，传统的形成也是经过漫长的发展过程的。经过长期的积累，这些传统已经被固定化了，变得不可更改。人们熟悉于那些不变化的模式，因而对于打破传统感到无比的恐慌。
尽管要打破传统十分艰难，但我们仍要坚信一点，那就是坚持真理。只有坚定这种信念，用真理打动人们，才有可能打破传统。守旧的东西势必要被新生力量代替，那些不合时宜的顽固也会因为时代的发展而被淘汰。
Because a large number of people who guard the traditional society can not accept new things and new views. When the new forces began to deviate from the traditional society and depart its requirements, some people will suppress the new forces , which are destroying the peace and stability. Moreover, the tradition needs a long process to be established. After a long-term accumulation , these traditions have been fixed, and becomes irrevocable. It’s insufferable to face the changing for people who habit the traditional pattern, thus feeling panic when the tradition is broken. Although it’s very difficult to break tradition, we still firmly believe to uphold the truth. Only do believe that truth ,we can persuade people with the truth, and be possible to break the tradition. We believe that old-fashioned stuff must be replaced by new forces, That outdated must be eliminated with the development of the times.
五、你怎样看待尼尔的死的，它可以避免吗？
尼尔正是因为他无力打破传统，或者说他在传统面前怯懦，导致他选择了一条极端的路。虽然他用死亡来诠释他对自由的向往，对父母的反抗，但这种方式太过激烈了，他伤害了很多人的情感。在捍卫自己的信仰和真理时，首先要明确自己所要追求是什么。然后还要明确自己要选择的道路，这条道路可以有很多方法达到，不必非要用这种残忍的方式来换取。尼尔的死告诉我们，即使他让父母震惊了，但是仍然没有取得任何效果。因为父母仍旧不能理解他的想法，甚至把他的死因归咎于基廷老师，从而直接导致基廷老师被驱逐。于是，对自由教育的追求就此停止了，尼尔使事情更加恶化。我不提倡这种方式，在与家庭发生冲突时，我认为沟通仍是最主要的。如果父母不能理解孩子的做法，那么就为自己的理想做出一些成绩，来让父母知道，依靠这种方式我们也可以活得很好。其实每个父母都爱着自己的孩子，尽管双方会发生各种矛盾，但这不影响他们爱孩子的心，只要找到这份亲情，那些一切都能迎刃而解。
Because of his inability ,Neil failed to break tradition, and he was cowardice in front of tradition, that led him to choose a radical path. Although he used the death to stress his yearning for freedom , and confliction with his parents, this approach was too intense, even hurting the feelings of people who loved him. In defending our faith and truth, we must define what our pursuit is . And then make it clear that when we choose a road, there are also many other ways you can achieve, without choosing this cruel way to do. Neil's death tells us that even he shocked his parents, but still did not yield any results. Because the parents still can not understand his ideas, even the death of his blamed Mr.

Keating, that led directly Mr. Keating to be expelled. Thus, the pursuit of liberal education had to stop at that time, and Neil made things worse. I do not advocate this approach, in the event of a conflict with family, I think communication is still the most important. If the parents can not understand the children's practice, well ,children can make some good results to let parents know that we can rely on this way live well. In fact, parents love their children, although conflicts will occur between the two sides, this does not affect love parents show on the children. We just find the meaning of family, all conflicts can be solved.
六、怎样评价尼尔的父母，你是否觉得他们很熟悉，你会怎样和这样的父母相处？同上 Seeing the student named Neil dying for his dreams, I was reminded that my parents seldom asked me to do things I really had no interest or gave up my interest though they sometimes made decisions I didn’t like in the past of my life .So when I saw Neil’s father ,a stubborn man ,never allow Neil to act in the play which Neil likes most, I got shocked .We are human ,not products .How can we stand being made into shapes as products? We human have thoughts and emotions .No one is born to make another happy .We are born to make ourselves happy and enjoy the sweet of the dreams we have in our heart. Neil was not born to be a doctor as his father thought. Neil killed himself in the end .No ,it’s his father that killed his poor son .Without hope and dreams ,only with an arranged future ,Neil ended his young life . I do not know how despair he was when shot to himself . And I am not sure how sad when his parents saw their son died in the study. I saw they cried . 七、你怎样看待死亡诗社的成员的，特别是那个卡梅隆。
A young life was disappeared . Whose fault ? One of his classmate called Carmon said the teacher encouraged Neil should seek for his dream ,Mr. Keating should be blamed. But it is not the truth. The teacher just wanted the young to be happier and live a rich life . I like his words “I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. I feel sorry for them .They are full of passion for their life but they lead a poor life .They have no right to choose their future .They parents do that for them .You grow to be a banker ,and you grow to be a doctor .They have a lot of money but they are feeling sorry for themselves .The young have done nothing wrong but they have to be a man what their parents ask them to be .Maybe the only thing they did is wrong is that to be their parents’ sons . 八、评价我们教育的现实状况，并做出对比。
中国的教育只强调技能和知识的传授，而美国的教育却更加注重培养学生的心理，交际等等综合能力，从很早的时候就强调学生要有一个自己明确的发展方向，确定自己应该往哪方面努力。这就造成了这样一种情况：美国的大学生，不管学习成绩好坏，毕业之后大都明确自己的人生目标，知道自己适合做什么，能做什么。而中国的学生呢？大学的专业都不一定是自己喜欢的，毕业之后都不知道自己能做什么，自己的人生发展方向是怎样的，职业计划是怎样的。 China's education only emphasize the skills and knowledge what teachers teach , but the United States pay more attention to the psychological communicative, and so comprehensive capabilities of students. From early time ,it emphasized that their students have a clear direction of development and students should determine which way to do efforts. This creates a situation: the United States, college students, no matter get good or bad grades, after graduation mostly make sure goals they got in life, know for what to do, how can do. What about the Chinese students? The subject they learnt in university ,which is not necessarily their favorite professional, and after graduation they do not know what direction in life , and what planning of the career is.

造成这个的原因是什么？我认为，就是中国的教育使得学生从小就没有对自己的人生进行规划的权利，或者已经养成了大事都由老师或者家长做主的可悲习惯。而老师真正应该教授的，正是此道：培养一个学生独立自主的人格。剧中的John keating叫学生们勇于尝试，勇于突破，有自己的想法，发展自己的爱好。这些正是学生所缺的，谁能说这是错误的人生观？难道平庸，人云亦云才是正确的？
What is the reason that causing this? In my opinion, China's education makes our students do not plan for their right to life, or has developed a sad habit that major things need the teacher or parents to decide. What the teachers should really teach is: to develop students' independent personality. In the play ,Mr. Keating called students bravely try, having the courage to break with their own ideas, develop their own hobbies. These are precisely what students lacked. We can’t say this is the wrong outlook on life. We should try to change this education, but it’s not one person’s fault. 美国教育
Education is a major part of American culture. Schools do more than just fill students' heads with knowledge. They pass on culture, traditions and values.
American children start their education in elementary school. Most youngsters enter first grade at around six years of age. Children can prepare for this step by attending preschool and kindergarten from ages three to five. Young learners finish elementary school in fifth or sixth grade. From there, students go on to junior high school until eighth or ninth grade. Americans complete their required education in high school. They graduate and receive a diploma after twelfth grade.
Beyond high school, Americans have many chances for further education. In contrast to other countries, the U.S. has no national college entrance exam. Instead, private companies give exams to students. Universities decide which tests students must take. In addition to test scores, university officials also consider applicants' high school grades and other activities. Universities give scholarships and financial aid to help many who cannot afford the high tuition costs. Students with less academic goals may enroll in vocational schools or community colleges.
The American style of education, compared to that of other countries, is quite informal. In fact, the casual class atmosphere often amazes international students. American teachers encourage students to think for themselves. Instead of grading students only on test scores, teachers evaluate papers, group projects and class participation, as well. Students often have to think creatively to solve problems-not just memorize facts. Students also learn how to do research by using resource materials to find their own answers. In this way, classrooms illustrate the American emphasis on individual responsibility.
Freedom of choice is another American value not absent from school life. In addition to their required courses, high school and college students may choose elective courses. These electives allow students to study subjects that interest them. The menu of choices might include typing, band and home economics, as well as special academic classes. Other activities occupy students' time after school hours. Most schools have sports teams, clubs and publications that give students valuable experience. The American system of education is far from perfect. Teachers in America fight to control cheating and plagiarism. Drugs, violence, sex and peer pressure interfere with students' education. Test scores are declining. In light of these issues, American teachers have an important and challenging job. They must instill cultural and moral values, as well as knowledge, in young American citizens. 中西方的教育讨论：
