1. There are many ways why Neil could and could not prevent his suicide. His father and some other boys blame Keating because he thought them that they have a choice and that no one should choose what you want. Keating was an inspiration to Neil. Neil always looked up to Keating. I think if Neil was have any last word before he died they would be thank you Mr. Keating and that it was not his fault. I think either way Neil would have committed suicide. To begin with, Neil never wanted to become a doctor. This was mostly his father's fault for not giving his son a choice of what he wants to do. His father never listened to his son and wanted everything his own way. This tempted Neil for a long time and that is why he shot himself.
2. The bravest would have to be Todd and Neil. Todd was just a shy guy but he soon got over that. He was one of the boys who knew that Neil would not blame Keating for his death. This is why it looked like he did not sign the paper. He was forced to sign it but he always knew in his heart that Keating is not to blame for any of this. He was also the first of the boys at the end to get up on his desk and salute Keating. Neil was also brave because he confronted his father. Even though that confrontation was not good enough he decided he needed an escape so that is why he committed suicide. If I was him I would have just ran away and go one to live with a friend or some family member that cared about me. The one that was mostly a coward was Cameron since he snitched on the boys and was the first to blame Keating and to sign the paper. He was always there and he knew that the boys would soon get into trouble. Once they got into trouble he just blamed Keating for everything including Neil's death.
3. I think Keating did put it in there to see of the boys were interested. Even though he knew it was possible for them to get into trouble he warned them to be careful and to do this in their free time. Keating did it to show the boys that there are more things in poetry than just rhyming words. This poetry book showed feeling and compassion that the authors had while writing this. The administrator did not allow things like this so he decided it would be good to teach them something new.
