Dead Poets Society

Acknowledgement

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all those who gave me the possibility to complete this term paper. I want to thank my dear professor Dr. Reynaldo A. Padilla for granting me the opportunity and initiative to experience making an educational anthology that will sure help us in the future endeavours harder than this.

I am deeply indebted to my parents, whose help, stimulating suggestions and encouragement helped me in all the time of research for and creation of this paper.

My friends, Jan Gregory Delos Reyes, Oliver Vistan, Tom Roxas and Michael Cosina, who gave me time and didn’t bother me during the creation of this paper (Salamat mga tol!). I want to thank them for all their help, support, interest and valuable hints; if any exists (I’m thanking them because I don’t want them to be mad at me in case any help from them really existed). My cousin, Maria Corazon Capale, is the one who gave me a copy of the movie and looked closely at the final version of this work for English style and grammar, correcting both and offering suggestions for improvement.

The movie, like any other movie from the late 80’s, have poor video quality if compared to today’s movie hits like the...
