1.) I do think that Neil would have committed suicide if Mr. Keating had never come into his life because his father would still be just as strict about Neil's career path. He would have been just as unhappy about what was going on. He would be just as depressed about not doing what he loved. He felt as if there was no escape and he could only result to that.
2.) I think the bravest of all the Dead Poets Society was Charlie. He was the one who stood up for Mr. Keating when the one kid tried to turn on him, which even resulted in him punching the kid. He believed in standing for what he thought was right, which took a lot of courage. The boy who was a coward was Neil. Instead of him standing up for what he believed, he took the easy way out and killed himself.
3.) I do think that Mr. Keating put the book in Neil's room. When telling the guys about the society, I think he could tell they were curious and that it was going to start up again. Also after Neil committed suicide, he saw the book and looked at it as if he were proud. I think that he did put it there after he said administration would not look favorably on it because he wanted them to go beyond. He wanted them to start to do this to have a passion for poetry and a different view on it. Since the school wanted them to follow the guidelines so much, he wanted to give them the chance to see the different approaches of the poetry.
