Emerson, Whitman, and Thoreau in Dead Poets Society Transcendentalism flourished. This period is difficult to describe in a simple definition, but the general ideas are expressed through the poetry, essays and books of these three talented transcendental authors; Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman and Henry Thoreau. From Emerson's dramatic expressions of thinking for oneself and not respecting, to Whitman's belief in living stress-free and experiencing life, to Thoreau's explanation of the purpose of sucking out the marrow of life and the constant reminder of simplicity; the writings of these free-thinking authors with these ideas show the overall meaning of transcendentalism. The lessons of the Transcendental Age are expressed in the modern film Dead Poet's Society directed by Peter Wier. As a literature teacher at Welton Academy, an all-boys preparatory school, Mr. Keating uses rather unorthodox teaching methods that include interactive lessons to engage his students in learning. Rather than a normal course of reading books and writing essays, Mr. Keating taught life lessons that are different from your average course. The film's storyline focuses on a class made up of boys who are in the 4th and final year of teaching at this academy. Mr. Keating managed to teach all the boys the ideas of Emerson, Whitman, and Thoreau during his time as a literature teacher. This teacher's lesson changed boys' perspective on life forever, which is more than most high school students can say from their school... middle of a sheet of paper..... . by connecting yourself and your emotions to the situation. After Watching the film Dead Poets Society, the viewer will easily understand the transcendental ideas, whether he knows it or not. Whether the viewer is watching this film for educational or entertainment purposes, it overall demonstrates to the audience many strong ideas that these common writers greatly emphasize throughout their writings through Mr. Keating's teaching methods . Lessons from three mainstream transcendental writers, Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman, are taught both directly and subtly by the influential teacher, Mr. Keating. The lessons taught not only impact the boys during the film, but also change their mindset for the rest of their lives and the audience. Keating was able to establish the writers' theories in the boys' minds, which had a positive impact on all aspects of their lives..
