The film Dead Poets' Society deals with a number of issues: peer pressure, the power of authority, non-conformity, leadership, education, literature, the Carpe Diem philosophy... to name a few.
Your task is to choose three specific themes that Peter Weir, the director, presents. Write a 5 paragraph essay that explains those themes.
Follow standard essay format. Your first paragraph should have a dynamic introduction, the title of the film and the director's name, Peter Weir, some plot summary, and a clear thesis statement, (a sentence that outlines your three main ideas).
You do not have a text, so your support for each of your three main ideas will be in the form of indirect references as opposed to direct quotes. In otherwords, you will describe what happened in the film to suport the theme that you are exploring.
Finally, make sure your concluding paragraph not only summarizes but also adds a creative conclusion.
Since you will have two periods to work on this, my expectation is that your essay will be detailed and polished.
