Speechless
Para ser coerente com o título da postagem e com minha cara de tacho, mais não digo.
Bem, só um pouquinho: thank you. Very very much. I won't ever forget it.

Two more (atendendo a pedidos)
Don't I look goofy, with my closed eyes? (Well, tired I was...).
But the girls look great. If they say nothing, it's because they agree.

Verses / Lines to Read before you kick the Ball (Our Video)
So, these are some suggestions, exactlly the ones that were read in the movie. I'm gonna post more soon.
Choose yours.
"Oh to struggle against great odds. To meet enemies undaunted." (Walt Whitman)
"To be a sailor of the world, bound for all ports." (Walt Whitman)
"Oh, I live to be the ruler of life, not a slave." (Walt Whitman)
"To indeed be a god!" (?)
More:
"And thee my soul,
Joys, ceaseless exercises, exaltations"
"I raise the present on the past"
"Whoever you are, to you endless announcements! "
"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. "
"I believe in you my soul, the other I am must not abase itself to you,
And you must not be abased to the other. "
"I resist any thing better than my own diversity,
Breathe the air but leave plenty after me,
And am not stuck up, and am in my place "
"With music strong I come, with my cornets and my drums"
"I know I am deathless"
"I exist as I am, that is enough"
"I am the poet of the Body and I am the poet of the Soul"
One more:
I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.

OUR QUOTES FROM DEAD POETS SOCIETY
Guys, these are the quotes we worked with in class. We have identified all who's and when's. Now you're supposed to pick 5 and explain them fully.
It's an assignment. You can do it with the partner you worked with in class.
1. (–You gotta calm down)
– No, that’s just my problem. I’ve been calm all my life. I’m gonna do something about that.
2. – What the hell is going on here?
– I don’t hear enough rip.
– Mr. X
– Mr. Y.
– I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were here.
– I am.
– Ah, so you are. Excuse me.
3. – The world’s first flying desk set. Don’t worry, you’ll get another one next year.
4. – Now, in this class you can either call me X, or if you are slightly more daring, O Captain, My Captain.
5. - The point is, that there's nothing you can do about it. So you can just butt out. I can take care of myself just fine. Alright?
- No.
- What do you mean 'no'?
- No!
6. - Why do I stand up here? Anybody?
- To feel taller!
- No! Thank you for playing Mr. Dalton. I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.
7. I SOUND MY BARBARIC YAWP OVER THE ROOFTOPS OF THE WORLD.
8. - Gentlemen, what are the four pillars?
- Travesty! Horror! Decadence! Excrement!
9. - Don't you ever dispute me in public! Do you understand?
- Father, I wasn't disputing you…
- After you've finished medical school and you're on your own, then you can do as
you damn well please. But until then, you do as I tell you. Is that clear?
10. - Today we're going to be talking about William Shakespeare.
- Oh, God!
11. – I want you all to come over here and take a slip of paper and
line up single file.
- "Oh to struggle against great odds. To meet enemies undaunted."
- Now go on. Yes! Next.
- "To be a sailor of the world, bound for all ports."
- Next. Louder!
- "Oh, I live to be the ruler of life, not a slave."
- (…)
- Come on, Charlie, let it fill your soul!
- "To indeed be a god!"
12. - Well,X, the curriculum here is set. It's proven it works. If you question, what's to prevent them
from doing the same?
- I always thought the idea of educating was to learn to think for yourself.
- At these boys' ages? Not on your life! Tradition, John. Discipline. Prepare them for college, and the rest will take care of itself.
13. - Mr. Keating! They made everybody sign it.
- Quiet, Mr. X.
- You gotta believe me. It's true.
- I do believe you, X.
- Leave, Mr. Keating.
- But it wasn't his fault!
- Sit down, Mr. Anderson! One more outburst from you or anyone else, and
you're out of this school! Leave, Mr. Keating. I said leave, Mr. Keating.
- O Captain! My Captain!

Dead Poets Society
Epiphany
The purpose, well one of the purposes, of reading "The Story of an Hour" was to present the concept of EPIPHANY.
The story is just perfect when it comes to it.
But as I want this concept indelibly etched in your minds I also showed snippets of Sex, Lies & Videotape and The Elephant Man....
Wonderful scenes from beautiful movies...
