"Understanding Poetry
by Dr J. Evans Pritchard, PhD.

1:57:19
To fully understand poetry,
we must first be fluent with its metre,
rhyme and figures of speech.

1:57:24
Then ask two questions:
One, how artfully has the objective
of the poem been rendered?

1:57:29
And two...
1:57:32
how important is that objective?
1:57:35
Question one rates
the poem's perfection.
Question two rates its importance.

1:57:39
And once these questions
have been answered,
determining the poem's greatness...

1:57:43
becomes a relatively simple matter.
1:57:44
If the poem's score for perfection is
plotted on the horizontal of a graph..."

- Mr Keating!
They made everybody sign it.
- Quiet, Mr Anderson.

1:57:49
- You gotta believe me. It's true.
- I do believe you, Todd.

1:57:52
- Leave, Mr Keating.
- But it wasn't his fault!

1:57:54
Sit down, Mr Anderson! One more
outburst from you or anyone else...

1:57:57
and you're out of this school!
1:57:59
Leave, Mr Keating.
1:58:03
I said leave, Mr Keating.
1:58:20
O Captain, my Captain!
1:58:22
Sit down, Mr Anderson!
1:58:27
Do you hear me?
Sit down!

1:58:29
Sit down!
1:58:33
This is your final warning, Anderson.
1:58:37
How dare you?
1:58:39
Do you hear me?
1:58:41
O Captain, my Captain.
1:58:45
Mr Overstreet, I warn you!
Sit down!

1:58:51
Sit down!
1:58:52
Sit down. All of you.
1:58:54
I want you seated.
Sit down.

1:58:58
Leave, Mr Keating.
