InformationDead Poets Society is written by NH Kleinbaum in 1989. It is also famous as a film. It has been published by Voice for many years. NH Kleinbaum is an American writer and journalist. She also wrote the Dr. Dolittle series.PlotOne of the main characters of Dead Poets Society, Todd Anderson entered Welton Academy, which has very strict discipline. There were a lot of good friends around him, like Neil, but Todd didn't adjust well because he was a shy boy and there were always things to do at school. Beyond the boring and strict classes he was taking, there was an unusual and interesting class. This is Mr. Keating's class. He taught his students English, especially poems, and he explained to them the attractions of poems and how to appreciate them. Why did Todd and his friends love this class? It is not safe to say and find the exact reason why the students liked Mr. Keating's class. Was the reason the class was different from other classes due to Mr. Keating's kindness? They were probably all the reason. One day, Todd and his friends founded the Dead Poets Society, which was once a secret club activity. They asked Mr. Keating what DPS is and started this club again. The club has successfully grown. Neil found his talent and his dream; Knox met his ideal girl, Todd was able to find his courage, etc. However, their growth has not only come alone, but also with challenges. Neil made the choice that corresponded to his dream: to play or to reality: to be a good son and a good student.

He always got an A, so we can know that he did well in this Hellton Academy and didn't complain to his father. If I have a son, I'm sure to say I want a son like him. His life belongs to him, but not his father's. Even though he did well in the play and studies, his father did not know his effort like these words. However, does “Best for Me”, which is the title of the song, correspond to its story? I don't think so. He tried to do his best for his father. “I have nothing to prove. I have no one to please. I do what is best for me. (Best for me)” This doesn’t fit his story. I just chose this part because I want him to think like that. Neil was doing well, and he and his father should know about his efforts.
