Blog #4 Dead Poets Society

The characters in "Dead Poets Society and the character in "Catcher" names Holden are alike and different in many ways. Neil is like Holden because I would consider them both rebels. Neil rebels against his Dad by going and acting in a play although his Dad did not want him too. Holden was also a rebel because he got kicked out of his Prep School. I would not consider Todd and Holden to be alike because Todd was very shy and not outgoing where Holden always seemed to want to talk to people and was always looking to shock a conversation even if he didn't know the person. I would consider Knox to be similar to Holden in the sense of girls. Knox is very interested in this one girl, but he does not think he likes her, because the girl was at a party with another guy. Holden is the same way as in the sense that he likes Jane Gallagher, but Jane does not have the same feelings for her because she went on a date with Stradlater. Charlie is also like Holden in the sense that he is a rebel, just like Neil. Neil's rebellions were different then Charlie's. Neil rebelled against his Dad where Charlie was just always getting in fights and finding different ways to get himself into trouble. Holden also had many rebellious acts. He got kicked out of school, and he always had thoughts inside of him over running away. That is how Holden and the characters in the movie are alike and different.
