Living Our Lives in Film: Gabby Abramowitz
“Dead Poets Society” was a film that I watched for the first time at the right time. Superficially, it would seem that the elite (read: fratty) prep boys school set in Vermont in 1959 depicted in Peter Weir’s film has nothing in common with the ordinary New Jersey suburb I grew up in, but many parallels between my life and their gripped me as a sophomore in high school and still resonate with me today.
