1. I believe Neil still would have committed suicide even if Mr. Keating was not in his life. Before meeting Mr. Keating, Neil was already upset at how his father was trying to run his life. One of the aspects would include not participating in the school play a passion Neil took to heart. Neil already had thoughts of disobeying his father before consulting to Mr. Keating. Mr. Keating just tried to make Neil talk with his father about what he felt.
2. Neil was the bravest out of the Dead Poet boys because he had bone against his father's word on not joining the school play. He also inspired his friends to bring back the Dead Poets Society even though they he heard of all the consequences that followed if they were caught. Richard Cameron is the coward because he only tries to abide by the rules the administration and his parents. When the authority starts to get tougher, he squeals about the entire society and confesses that Mr. Keating was guilty in an effort t save himself from consequences. He does not defend Mr. Keating or his friends because he was too scared to get in trouble.
3. The poetry book in Neil's room was placed by Mr. Keating. Even though he knew that the administration wouldn't like it, he was trying to teach the boys to think for themselves, and not always do what people tell them to do. He knew that Neil was ready to do things for himself, due to his acts against his father's word. He gave him the book, even though he knew the administration wouldn't like it.
