I SOUND MY BARBARIC YAWP OVER THE ROOFTOPS OF THE WORLD.

I was subbing for a English class today and they just finished a section on poetry so they watched the movie "The Dead Poet's Society" It deals with thougths on education, conformity and growing up to be your own person!...This is a movie I think every person should see! Thought I'd share!

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

All I can say is...
YAWP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
