Dead poet society is set in Welton Prep school. It is the best prep school in the united states, they have a Welton Pillars are tradition, honor , excellence and discipline. 75% of the students will go to Ivy league school. From the beginning Mr. Keaton walks in and out off class whistling the 1812 overture, and the class follow him to the lobby. He mocks the college, and it makes the students think Mr. Keaton is a bit weird. They stare at a trophy stand and pictures of past Welton students, he tells them that they are not different from them, same haircuts, full of hormones and invincible the world is their oyster, they are destined for great stuff. He tells them that these gentlemen where trailblazers in their time and that they tool life by the horn, they are now pushing daisies but they still whisper their legacy to you if you are willing to listen, carpe diem, seize the day, make your live extraordinary.

At this point eh kids are realizing that Mr. Keaton is not like any instructor they have. and some of these guys are becoming free thinkers, Mr. Neil, Knox and Pitts are slowly becoming the leaders and voice of the group.
A new perspective in life
He gets them to climb the his desk and look around to see life in a different view and to not just walk off the edge like lemmings, to look around, and see life and to suck the marrow out off it
