Im doing an english speech on Belonging relating it to the dead poets society and am having trouble analysing mr keatings speech after he gets the boys to walk in the courtyard:
I brought them up here to illustrate
the point of conformity: the difficulty in
maintaining your own beliefs in the face
of others. Now, those of you -- I see
the look in your eyes like, "I would've
walked differently." Well, ask
yourselves why you were clapping. Now,
we all have a great need for acceptance.
But you must trust that your beliefs are
unique, your own, even though others may
think them odd or unpopular, even though
the herd may go, "That's baaaaad." Robert
Frost said, "Two roads diverged in a
wood and I, I took the one less traveled
by, and that has made all the
difference."
I have already explained the relevance of conformity to belonging in my speech but would like a more detailed analyses of this speech any help would be great!

I know this quote is important but im having trouble working it in to my speech
