Dead Poets Society Pt. 2

1. The most influential person in my life would be my Dad. He doesn't say I love a lot, but he shows he it through his actions. He was known as "the prankster " as a kid and in college, yet he still maintained his grades, a few jobs, and every sport he was played. He has done every sport except basketball. I've always looked up to him for anything sport wise. He is very strict because he wants the best for me. He is always my #1 fan in track. I love him because he sees more in me than I see in myself. My dad pushes me to be better, to do better than what I thought I could do. 
2. I agree with Mr.Keating on the grounds of the natural human tendency to seek emotional purpose rather than intellectual reason. The human race falls in love with poetry, and while serious passions and pursuits in careers paths are necessary to be efficient in life's courses, love give everything a purpose to keep on living. Material things don't last, but beautiful words give meaning to our world, it gives us meaning to our age in time. We read poetry for an insight to a picture that real world conversations don't hold these days. We abuse the language of our ancestors; they are not included in our speech and if they are they are misinterpreted. Poetry is a language of love, history, passion, that we need more of. 
3. I agree, one answer is not the only "correct answer" to a question. Looking at things, taking risks and thinking for yourself besides what might be the right answer gives real perspective. The whole purpose of answering is to answer for yourself, meaning what you think. No one wants to be the same as the rest. Everyone wants a different love story, a different career, a different answer that can be admired by others. Similarly, I misjudged a person because of their attire. However, once I got to talk to the person I realized how wrong I was. She was sweet, beautiful, and her situation was tragic. She gave me a look into her life when I only judged by a glance. 
4. My last verse for the world will need some thought and more experience before I send it for anyone to see. I feel like I'm just starting out in the world, and the world keeps trying to push their views into me. I want to be myself, I want to answer for myself, I want to live for myself. 
When I die, I hope everyone I know will realize how humble I tried to be. I never want to be the girl who's consumed with herself. I want to be the girl who cared for everyone but herself.
