In a well-written essay compare the theme and tone of Dead Poets Society and Bukowski's
Roll the Dice. Your response should have an Introduction+Thesis (Introducion can introduce
the idea of the theme, can even be an example from your own life that exemplifies the theme),
at least one paragraph proving the theme and tone of the movie, one paragraph proving the
theme and tone of the poem, and a conclusion paragraph. You should be sure to make
explicit statements of similarities and differences.

Sample response: I predict that Buck will continue to see the hairy man and believe that he needs to be wild. I also predict that he will fight these urges and remain loyal to Thornton. Buck will have to figure out whether he is a pet or a wild animal after his experiences.

What I answered: The novel will end with Buck completely adopting his life of nature and of instinct because he realizes that this is who he was meant to be always and that his animal nature is the real him. He abandons the tame life and becomes a part of the natural life cycle.
