These scenes are contrasts btw
Knox goes into Chris’ school to willingly read a poem he wrote. / Todd is already at his school when he’s forced to recite a poem he just improvised.
Knox entered the class with the whole purpose of reading it. / Todd entered class with absolutely no intention to recite anything.
Chris was… not impressed. / Neil, on the other hand, was.
(Chris covering her head and face, refusing to look at Knox. / Neil staring directly at Todd, unabashedly.)
Kids were laughing at Knox. / Kids were laughing at Todd at first, but then they stopped and became impressed, and clapped.
Knox looks at his audience (the students). Several times, in fact. / Todd’s eyes are closed. Just when he’s about to look at the class, Keating makes it a point to stop him, tell him to not do it, to keep his eyes closed.
Chris tried to discourage Knox from reading the poem and failed. / Mr Keating tried to encourage Todd into making up a poem and succeed (after basically forcing him to, but well).
Both read it in front of the class aswell
(Also, Chris begins not being interested on Knox while Knox is super interested, slowly Chris warms up to him and they date vs Neil begins very interested on Todd and always trying to include him but Todd is reluctant at first and avoidant, but slowly warms up and then Neil dies)
This also totally goes with the deleted scene where Charlie approaches Ginny where he in fact uses a line from Knox's poem with a much better context but yall aren't ready for that conversation.

I love tags it’s like muttering under your breath on the internet
10000 years ago we were cats purring next to each other in a patch of sunlight. you dont remember but its fine
do you think there was like a month where Todd was excited about his next birthday and the idea of maybe getting to spend it with Neil
I think I'd rather you just old-fashioned shot me instead of this psychological warfare
