Back to The Mighty, Kevin and Max realized that they had something in common. They were outcasts and were always being bullied because they were “freaks”, but they were proud. Also, they were both abandoned by their fathers at a young age. When Kevin died because of his illness, Max became very sad, but later on, he wrote his own book and realized that their relationship still exists, because he ended his book drawing a picture of a grave at the bottom of the lake, and on the grave, it said “Here lies King Arthur, Once and Future King”, and that King Arthur story was a symbol of Kevin. That picture was also a symbol of Kevin because at the beginning of the movie, Kevin said, “Every word is part of a picture.

Gatsby thought Daisy was beautiful and that everything would work out. He thought everything around him was beautiful but now since the love was slowly slipping away he did not look at a rose the same way. Love was not so beautiful or easy as he perceived it.

Similarly, Neil is the one to show Mr. Keating his old yearbook since everyone else wouldn’t do it. Because Neil showed him it, they found out about the Dead Poets’ Society, which leads Mr. Keating to lose his job. Since Finney and Neil are so sure what they want to do, it is impossible for them to comprehend what other people want as well.

After reading the story a couple more times and really considering the position the narrator is put in, I began to realize he wasn’t very closed-minded at all. He was blinded by jealousy.
