Blog #3: Dead Poets Society

Some of the lessons which Mr. Keating is teaching his students are about "Seize the Day". Seize the Day means that you should live your life to the fullest. He was telling his students that you should live your life to the fullest, because one day you will end up dead. In "Catcher" Holden's teacher teaches him about "Playing by the Rules". These two lessons completely contrast each other, because seizing the day means getting what you want and living to the very best you can, where playing by the rules would be considered a more serious topic in which the person is always scared about getting into trouble. I think we should seize the day and live it to its best, but it is often very hard to do this when we have all these rules, which plays into the topic Life is a game, Play by the rules."
