Final Comparison Stand & Deliver & Dead Poets Society

After watching both movies in class, i feel as though there is alot of similarities between the two movies. I think that Mr. Keating and Mr. Escalante both have ver unqiue ways of teaching, and they both try to have some fun on a lecture or on some kind of reading. They also get to know they're students by talking about they're family, friends, ect. They both use some humor when teaching, along with some amount of wittiness, to keep there kids intregued. The big difference is the ending between the two movie. In Stand & Deliver, it is a happy ending where the students got a's on all the tests, and everyone was happy that Mr. Escalante did it. Mr. Escalante always told his students to believe in what you can do, even if its somewhat out of reach. Don't listen to what the other people have to say, just do youw job. However, in Dead Poetys Society, Mr. Kealing is constantly questioned about his teaching habits, and is labled as the "new teacher", basically saying he doesnt know what he's doing.He is always preaching to the boys that you need to have your own view on things, and not always listen to what other peoples opinions are on that particular subject.  Mr. kealing gets fired in the end becasue of the boys, but he is happy about it because of the boys evident respect for him. In Stand & Deliver the students actually achieved something because of a great teacher. The students in Dead Poets Society didn't really accomplish anything, and one of their best friends committed suicide. This is a very sad movie, because his dad pushed him to his limit. His dad will forever have the guilt that he deserves for putting so much pressure on his son.
