Dead Poets Society is my favorite novel‚ it is actually a novel based after a movie. The movie was so successful they decided to make a novel after it. This assignment will be based after that novel. The book is written in a third-person narrative‚ the novel quickly introduces the character Todd Anderson who also is one of the main characters in the novel. Todd doesn’t speak much and you can tell that he is a very insecure young man. The plot begins with Todd being sent to the “Welton Academy”

Let’s begin with his notorious declaration that “God is dead” (first in The Gay Science‚ 1872). Secular thinking is a commonplace today‚ but in Nietzsche’s time this declaration was strikingly prophetic. The point of the claim is not so much to assert atheism: although Nietzsche was certainly an atheist‚ he was far from being a pioneer of European atheism.
