Mr. Keating helps Todd, who is having a hard time trying to write a poem, by instructing Todd to make the sound, “Yawp” Knox calls Chris and she invites him to a party at Chet’s house that weekend. Neil rehearses A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and the theater director compliments Neil on his confident, delightful performance. The rehearsal goes on for two hours—afterwards, Neil bikes back to Welton, proud of himself. Back at the party, Knox, now drunk, thinks jealously of Chris and Chet. He clumsily staggers over a couple making out, and a voice shouts, “Watch where you’re going!” Knox gets highly drunk at the party losing his control.
my opinion
I was very happy reading these chapters because it's where the boys feel that they’re coming alive for the first time. they’re coming to realize how irrational and unfulfilling their parents’ expectations really are. Also, I could clearly see that Neil is a very talented actor. I hope that he will eventually change his father's mind and become make his dream come true. I'm also kind of scared that Knox is going to make a mistake at the party, not being sober.
