A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND JOURNAL. Do the same with the minor characters.

The first major character we meet. He, like most of the students, comes from a traditionalized household. He is the one who reboots the Dead Poets Society, the catalyst that causes the remaining events to unfold. He decides to seize the day by trying out for a part in Midsummer Nights Dream,.
