The narrator is not only a black man, but a black sheep. The narrator sees his education as his hope for the future. When he looks in the briefcase given to him by the superintendent he sees something. It was a scholarship to the state college for Negroes. My eyes filled with tears and I ran awkwardly on the floor. The narrator could now afford to take his education further. Education is so important to the narrator because it raises his status above the other blacks, but when he tried to use the education he faltered. He feels as if he will be able to contribute so much to the world when he receives this scholarship from the superintendent. This gives the narrator a hope for the future. Towards the end of the novel, the narrator begins to realize the truth about his life. I was and yet I was invisible, that was the fundamental contradiction. I was and yet I was unseen. It was frightening and as I sat there I sensed another frightening world of possibilities.

They all have their own personalities and ambitions. Out of all these people, I pick Todd Anderson as my favourite character. At the start of the film, Todd was timid and taciturn, mainly because he was unwilling to come to Welton and he must walk in the shadow of his big brother, a valedictorian. He's got the responsibility to 'fill some big shoes'; therefore he didn't spend time to communicate with people, while he put all the effort in the school work. It was his roommate, Neil Perry, who tried to help him and finally persuaded him to join in the 'Dead Poets Society', which turned out to be remarkably important for...
