Seize the day! Make your lives extraordinary.” This idea of carpe dium is central to the message of the movie and a key part of romanticism. One of the first things Mr. Keating tells the students is to call him “Oh Captain, my Captain,” which comes as a shock to the students who are told by strict orders by all other teachers to refer to them formally. He teaches the boys to think for themselves, a lesson looked down upon at the elite academy directed towards developing their minds through learning out of textbooks. Mr. Keating then has the boys stand on their desks to teach them how they can see the world in a different way.
How do the connections between the two texts enrich the meaning of each text? When considered on their own, texts are constructed to create meaning and impart that meaning on a responder. However when two linked texts a considered together, their meanings are enriched as the responder can compare both texts, and take extra meaning from how the two texts differ and agree with each other, by evaluating which is more effective.

Turpin, and seems to change her thinking. After Mrs. Turpin pronounces how grateful that she is neither poor nor black, Mary Grace (the fat girl) whips the book she was reading, Human Development, at Mrs. Turpin, which is great use of symbolism. Human development is a symbol for what Mrs. Turpin needs, because of her racism, judgementalism, and ridicule. And the name Mary Grace symbolizes something that relates to Jesus. Mary was Jesus’ mother, and there is a prayer called Hail Mary, which if she were to pray could bring her salvation.
Businesses were started to sustain the students, everyone still had education without the shouting, boys and girls knew how to defend themselves, and the school was running perfectly. Everything was looking up until they got a call from the School Board saying that they will have their SATs this Saturday. The principal contacted the board so that when the students fail, he could take the school back. Ken knew that the principal was going to try something like this. Using his mad hacking skills, he hacked the SBA (School Board Association) and printed a copy of the SAT.
The insertion of Gemma’s version of Briar Rose throughout “home” emphasise that this story was of great significance to her life. The dialogue in which Gemma tells the story is constantly interrupted as the girls attempt to help her tell the tale. “Which is all times”.

Once again the teacher looked up at him, and informed him that if he continued to disrupt the class she was going to write him up. The student stopped the noise and remained quiet for the rest of the class period.

The consequences were the teacher threatening to write him up and I believe the function would be that the student wanted the teacher’s attention. In this
