A Good Blog: There is nothing in the world but the mind its self; this blog actually feels like a real blog. Most people are still kinda figuring it out (including me), so a lot of posts feel disingenuous, (comparing them to someone giving a speech) it feels like they're proclaiming what ever they are saying with the utmost confidence and at the same time sweating profusely and shaking. On the other hand There is nothing in the world but the mind its self seems more honest and straight forward.

I liked I'm gonna sing my way away from blue's post on "Dead Poets Society". It gave an interesting angle on what the participants in the opening ceremony might be thinking. They said:

In Peter Weir’s 1989 film Dead Poets Society, Welton’s “Light of Knowledge” ceremony reveals deceitful respect between students, parents, and the headmaster. Almost inaudible whispers and chatter suggest teachers are worried about secrets kept among the adults. A strong bellow of bagpipes and flags bearing the words "Tradition," "Honor," "Discipline," and "Excellence" prove Welton's pride for its academic success. School staff has the students march down the hall, and the headmaster ignites the "Lights of Knowledge" to gain trust and respect of the boys' parents. The entire ceremony seems like a big, fake act rehearsed down to every step in order to make the headmaster seem like a more "Traditional, Honorable, Disciplined, and Excellent" man. 

This was interesting because I didn't pick up on the possible two-facedness of the staff and boys at Welton.
