Life lessons

The life lessons Mr. Keating is teaching his students that they should live their life to their fullest. Don't go by the rules of life and don't let people tell them what to do. He also teaches that to look at their life and other things in a different perspective. Mr.Keating teaches them this by making them stand on top and desk and look around. It also makes them say things while kicking a soccer ball. He teaches these lessons by making them tear pages out of their poetry book. This different from what Holden is told because they are saying to follow the rules and listen to what people tell you do. Holden is taught that he must compete to be good at the game of life. Mr.Keating is saying that if you don't want to play, you don't have to. Your life is up to you and don't let anyone control it. They teach these lesson to him by lecturing him. The principle teaches this lesson to him by kicking him out the school. This lesson are very different.
