Character Questions:

1. In my opinion , Todd made the biggest over all change throughout the film. He was able to go from barely saying a word to anyone to confiding in his friend Neal (unfortunately losing him after) to by the end of the film being the first to stand on the desk in honor of Mr. Keating. Todd took a huge risk by standing on the desk and shouting "O Captain my Captian" as if to solute Mr. Keating and pronounce him as his leader. He should his emotion and passion for Keating's teachings as if nothing else mattered.

2. Cameron for the most part stayed consistent in his ways of always being the "good kid". He did everything he was supposed to even if it meant hurting kids classmates or tearing down someone else to save his own self. Toward the end of the film he was the one who told the administration of the school everything about the Dead Poet Society , throwing the other boys under the bus just so that he didn't get into any trouble.

3. Mr Keating is a static character . While he played a large role he kept the same over all romantic mind set throughout the film.

4.

Todd Anderson: During the beginning of the film Tod barely spoke a word. He had a great fear of interaction with others or someone not liking what he has to say. With the help of his friend Neil and Mr. Keating he by the end of the film has over come his fear and is standing on a desk in front of everyone saying "O Captain My Captain".

Knox Overstreet: Knox meets a girl whom he believes he is in love with by just the sight of her. he is terrified to talk to her but takes a chance "seizes the day" and eventually over comes his fear and wins the girl even with obstacles such as her boyfriend that got in his way.

Neil Perry: Neil has a large fear of standing up to his father. Unfortunately he was not able to over come his fear and it ate at him until he eventually took his own life with his fathers gun. This young man has set a great example of what real pressure can do to a person.

Charlie (Nawnda) Dalton: Nawnda wanted nothing more than to ruffle the administrations feathers, to create conflict or to rebel against the conformity of others. His fear was very apparent from the start and was fear of conforming . During Mr. Keatings walking exercise Charlie chose not to walk as a way of showing his indifference.
