~ INTRO POST ~

This is an OC blog for the 1989 film Dead Poets Society. The film takes place in the year 1959, but that won’t be acknowledged for the sake of this blog being well past that point in time.

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Ernest Owens is a seventeen year old student in his junior year of high school at Welton Academy, an Episcopalian all-male preparatory boarding school in Vermont.

Sometimes Ernest goes by his middle name, Jack, because he was named after the character in The Importance of Being Earnest.

His friends at Welton are Neil Perry, Todd Anderson, Charlie Dalton, Knox Overstreet, Richard Cameron, Steven Meeks, Gerard Pitts, and Stick Hayes (his roommate).

His parents want him to become a dentist, but he hates blood and would rather follow his dream of writing and directing stage-plays.

Find out more about him by following this blog!

“A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.” -Oscar wilde :)))))))))))))))))))))))

Oh. Oh.

This is personal.

I immediately turned to the thought of my dear friend’s unfortunate death. While he died out of devotion to his ideals of artistic self-expression, his death was a far cry from proving that suicide was the only answer to his problems.

It’s unfortunate, really. He sacrificed his entire future to make a point, mistakenly believing a tragic end was the ultimate expression of freedom.

No one, no one, should ever consider life as unlivable by believing they can’t live life on their own terms. There will always be other options.

I had a dream that unless the teacher told us class was over, we were forbidden from going out the door. Our teacher was very forgetful, and maybe even malicious. After being forced to stay past sunset many days, my class decided we were going to break out every night. Eventually our attempts led us to discovering rifts in space-time where we could warp. So we never used the door. Checkmate.

what? you going to critique my dreams? my subconscious creations, that I did by accident, while asleep? the chemicals in my brain? are you going to use your foul eyes and dissect all of the plotholes in my dreams? you going to critique the weather? harass the clouds? make fun of thunder for being off key? remind me to come to your house and shred your shoes

That response is fucking Shakespearean.
