character questions for dead poet society

1.I think that Todd is the one that transformed the most throughout the movie. At the end he gained the courage to stand up and lead when Mr. Keating was leaving. He didn't care even if the "sub" was telling him to sit down or not.
2.Richard is the one that did not change at all throughout the story. He didn't care whenever Mr. Keating left and didn't stand when all of the other boys did when he left. He did not take in what Mr. Keating wanted them to.
3.Mr. Keating changed a lot throughout the story also he was shown that not everyone has the opportunity to be able to do what they like and enjoy life.
4.Todd was the extra shy person and he overcame is fear. Neil wanted to be an actor but his parents would not allow him to. He then took a way of escape by comitting suicide. Knox was girl shy and overcame his fear by talking to the "love of his life".

mona lisa discussion questions

No I do not think Betty was happy actually she looked very very unhappy. She talked to her mother about how unhappy she felt but her mom did not believe in divorce. In this time many people looked down on people that would get a divorce. The roles of the woman in 1950 were very different from then and now they were taught to only take care of their house, kids, and husband. Woman only cooked, clean, and washed clothes. This is different from the view of Katherine Watson because she wants to show that woman can do more than just cook, clean, and take care of her family. She wanted to show that we are capable of doing things that are above and beyond.
