How does Nolan react on that event?

He beat Charlie Dalton ten times with a paddle.

Foreshadowing of succeeding chapters line 1-3 p. 80

The change from autumn to winter has the consequence that there will be another change in the boys' life.
Neil will act and dissent his father. In terms of Freudian approach it means that the "id" breaks finally out of Neil.

Holidays (poem)

In one's holidays there is no stress at school

you can relax or swim in pool .

It is warm outside and there is the sun 

The whole day you can have fun.

Summer (poem)

Summer poem

Summer time is full of light,

Summer time is big and bright.

Summer time is full of fun,

Summer time has lots of sun,

Summer time is time to be free,

that´s why summer time is time for me !

If I were rich

If I were rich I would have a lot of money
My life would be really funny
I would buy a big train
or travel around the world in my own plane
I would also buy a swimming pool
Such a life would be really cool

Bad Friends (poem)

Bad Friends

A bad friend is like a song

You hear it once, you hear it twice

Firstly, thinking with it is nothing wrong

But later on it doesn’t sound nice

And you have to find a better one

On Life (poem)

To pass the challenge of life

It’s important to live in peace

Not in a destroying strive

Enjoy every night and day

Just create life in your own way

And make your dreams come true…

Nothing (poem)

Nothing

It starts everywhere
and it ends nowhere.

It consists of an unknown substance
which is originated from nothing.

It lives in an overwhelming darkness
and it dies in a dark emptiness.

Mr Keating

outward appearance	medium height, average looking,  brown hair, brown eyes,  appears to be scholary and resprectable (FW)
function in the constellation of characters	teacher - student (FW) + role model (FW) see below (traits)
social background/past	He was member of the Dead Poets Society and a "hell-raiser" at school (p.31 l. 4) (DH)
traits	"Plato, a gifted person like myself,..."(p.49/5)  As Plato is one of the most dazzling writers in the Western literary tradition and one of the most penetrating, wide-ranging, and influential authors in the history of philosophy, I would say that Mr Keating might be really self-confident and also convinced of his own skills. (MT) sincere and happy about how the class react  proud, sad (the boys had tears in their eyes), it was really a “goose-flesh feeling” (end of the book) (FF) Mr. Keating is a teacher who doesn’t like traditional lessons using textbooks etc. "Neil stopped, and Keating waited a moment to let the lesson sink in. Then Keating grabbed onto his own throat and screamed horribly. AHHHHHHGGGG!! he shouted. Refuse! Garbage! Pus! Rip it out of your books. Go on, rip it out the entire page! I want this rubbish in the trash where it belongs!" (LU) He acts as a kind of role-model. The students look up to him but they can also talk to him, as if they were almost at the same level. He shows them a different style of lessons and wants them to learn not only for school but also for life (e.g. "carpe diem"). (FW)
way of speaking	it seems a bit out of fashion but it sounds very poetic (JA)

On school (poem)

I don't like sitting in school.
So I don't want to go there,
But if I didn't, I'd be dumb like a fool.
For me this would be a nightmare.
So I go there and get knowledge, which is very cool.

Nolan's character at the end of the book (FF)

The boys are losing their leader; Keating doesn’t want to go but he accepts Nolan’s decision:

outward appearance
function in the constellation of characters
social background/past	Nolan thinks that Keating is responsible for Neil Perry’s dead sb. has to be responsible for the death
traits
mood, action
way of speaking	Nolan is screaming, the boys have booming voices and

Evidence for Freudian approach

Mr. Keating represents the ego.  I've found a good example in the novel: p. 76, ll. 20-23 (DS)
