John is just a common prep schoolboy, he doesn’t study very hard, he doesn’t have many friends, he has no idea about his future, and he is the photo journalist in school magazine.As he struggles with coming out and falling in love with the class jock, John... who, amazingly, falls in love with him as well.Because of some stupid rumor, John and I had a furious row, and he put forward that we should break up. Then, Steven made a decision—come out at the Prize Day when he makes the awarded speech.
Name: Dead Poets Society:
Plot: In 1959, the Welton Academy is a staid but well-respected prep school where education is a pragmatic and rather dull affair. Several of the students, however, have their thoughts on the learning process (and life itself) changed when a new teacher comes to the school. Mr. Taylor is an unconventional educator who tears chapters of her textbooks. Mr. Taylor introduces her students to poetry, and her free-thinking attitude and the liberating philosophies of the authors she introduces to her class have a profound effect on her students, especially Jillian, who would like to be a writer; Olina, who dreams of being an dancer, despite the objections of his father; Bethany, who begins to lose her blasé attitude. Mr. Taylor urges her students to seize the day and live their lives boldly; but when this philosophy leads to an unexpected tragedy, headmaster Mrs. Smith fires Mr. Taylor, and her students leap to her defense.
