이 책이랑 영화는 정말 유명하지만 저는 딱히 큰 감동을 느껴본 적은 없었습니다.

그러다 알라딘에서 중고로 3천원 정도에 싸게 파는걸 발견했는데 책 상태도 좋아서 그냥 무작정 질렀어요.

그러다 한동안 책장에 그냥 박혀있다가 갑자기 생각나서 읽기 시작했습니다.

 

책이 우선 되게 얇아서 빨리 끝나구요, 내용도 크게 어려운거 없이 술술 넘어가는 편입니다.

단지 가끔 시가 나오면... 고전시라서 그런건가 어려워서 저는 잘 이해 못하겠더라구요 ㅠㅠ

그런 시들하고, 등장인물이 여러명이라 이름이 가끔 헷갈려서 그 두가지 빼고는 정말 재밌게 읽었습니다.

 

마지막에 너무 감동이었어요...

캡틴이 했던 말들이 너무 좋아서 핸드폰 화면에도 적어놓고 다이어리에도 적어놓고 그랬었어요 ㅜㅜ

제가 감동깊게 읽었던 구절들 조금만 짧게 올려볼게요~

 

He jumped dramatically onto his desk and turned to face the class."O Captain! My Captain!" he recited energetically, then looked around the room. "Who knows where that's from? Anybody? No?" He looked piercingly at the silent boys. No one raised a hand. "It was written, my young scholars," he said patiently, "by a poet named Walt Whitman about Abraham Lincoln. In this class, you may refer to me as either Mr.Keating or 'O Captain! My Captain!'"

p.23

 

"I say-drive! One reads poetry because he is a member of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion! Medicine, law, banking- these are necessary to sustain life. But poetry, romance, love, beauty? These are what we stay alive for!"

p.41

 

"...How do we, like Walt, permit our own true natures to sepak? How do we strip ourselves of prejudices, habits, influences? The answer, my dear lads, is that we must constantly endeavor to find a new point of view." The boys listened intently. Then suddenly Keating leaped up on his desk. "Why do I stand here?" he asked. " To feel taller?' Charlie suggested.

" I stand on my desk to remind myself that we must constantly force ourselves to look at things differently. The world looks different from up here. If you don't believe it, stand up here and try it. All of you . Take turns."
