Poetic Answers #6

Here are your responses to the sixth question of what happened to the original Dead Poets Society and why it ceased to exist.

N. B. Turfrey: I would say that it was simply a meeting of friends which meant that it never took on new recruits. To this end it was bound to fail. The perpetuation of it, would make it harder to keep quiet although the year group must have known about it for it to appear in the annual.

Peter: The Dead Poets Society still lives on, in suburban Northern Virginia, in the hearts of eight beat poet-bodhisattvas who, though separated by many thousands of miles, still meet to drink coffee by the lake and then, candles, books, cigarettes and hearts in hand, make the way up the hill from the road into the woods, talking of revolution and poetry.

Jason Harris: This question can only be answered with a guess, there is no real evidence supporting any point. One reason could be that all the members graduated and there was no one to continue it. Another is that the administration found out about it and wasn't happy with the students thinking for themselves. Maybe a tragedy like Neil's death happened in their day too, and everyone was too shook up to continue. Just think about it, the possibilities are endless.

Class of 99 Alberton , South Africa: It is said in the movie that the administration did not like the DPS therefore it was proberbly vetoed by the HODs. It was seen as a menace to Welton's rigidity

Du Toit Albertus: They just faded away, like most things boys do when they are young. Their lives drifted away in different directions.
