Dead Poets Society Pt.1

1.  No, I do not believe Neil would have committed suicide if Mr. Keating would not have come into his life. Mr. Keating stirred ideas into his head and effected Neil's ultimate decision of being in the play. A dream which Neil's father is entirely against. However, on the other hand, it was Neil's own decision to be in the play and it was his own decision to end his life.
2. In my opinion,  Charlie Dalton"Nwanda" was the bravest of all the boys because he voiced the teaching of Mr. Keating in real life through school and in front of the school leaders. He was the boy who announced how he felt, without confining to the school's idea of together.
The boy who was the coward would be Richard Cameron. He was the boy who felt the need to confine himself to the school and their conformity. He always wanted to do the right thing, the thing that would get a good grade. The whole point of Keating's lectures was to find who people are, not as a whole, but an individual. And Richard ultimately was the one who snitched on his teacher and gave into the blame on Keating.
3. I believe Mr. Keating put the poetry book in Neil's room because Neil was the one who asked him about Dead Poets Society. Keating thought he and all the boys who witnessed his explanation of the club would be interested in their original traditions. One of the traditions was the reading of the front of the book.
Keating cared about the administration's rules, but he cared more about the school's secret club because it was during his time at the school. The head people at the school did not understand how much the club meant to the boys and he knew they wouldn't understand the purpose. It was a fun thing, one that did not have grades and wasn't controlled by adults.
