Breakfast club character analisis.

In all of our lives there are goals we have, values we possess, and strengths and weaknesses that make us who we are. All of us, no matter if we are a jock, or a brain, someone who succeeds in education, or someone who wants so badly to get out, face barriers in our lives. Some of us come from broken families, some us of come from abusive situations, but all of us have a unique and individual story. At the heart of this story are the struggles we have experienced, the people we have associated ourselves with, and the lessons we have learnt along the way. Such can be said about my own life, and the lives of the characters from the Breakfast Club. The characters from the Breakfast Club that I feel most represent me are: Claire Standish (The

Released in 1985 and directed by John Hughes ' The Breakfast Club ' is a film about teenagers that seem different on the surface but come to discover otherwise . When five students from different high school cliques are forced to spend their Saturday in detention, the brain, athlete, basket case, princess and the criminal together are faced with the question of who they think they are. The five characters put aside the ir dissimilarities in aid to survive the painful eight hour detention and in the process they discover they aren 't as unalike after all.

In the movie The Breakfast Club, five seemingly different adolescents are assigned Saturday detention where they learn that although they each fit a particular stereotype, they all have the same characteristics, but they are expressed differently because they have different experiences, strengths and weaknesses that makes them who they are. In the movie, Bender is the “criminal”, Brian is the “brain” and Allison is the “psychopath.” Each of their situations, strengths and weakness are similar to students that are in our classrooms currently or we may have in our classrooms in the future. For each student it is important to understand their learning differences and as a teacher, how I can use their strengths to help them become

In the middle of the movie Noah finds out by Allie mother that Allie and her parents want her to go to school in New York. I believe this to be stage five identity vs. identity confusion which happens during the adolescence part of people lives. Allie was trying to figure out who she really was. Allie did everything her parents told her to do because she wanted to please and make them proud of her. When Noah came along I think things changed for her because she was able to be herself around him and she was able to see what she really wanted. I think that trying to be someone for her parents led her to be confused about whom she was and what she wanted. I think that Noah had a better sense of who he was because he had to grow up a lot faster by this I mean he helped his father with the bills and he felt like a responsible adult. When Allie walked into Noah life he knew that he wanted to proved and be with her and let her go and grow in college while he worked. He thought that Allie wanted to go to school closer to where he was so that they can stay together. Yet Allie parents did not want her to be with Noah so they decided for Allie to go away to school in New York and Allie followed what her parents wanted because she was unsure of what she really wanted or how to stand up for it.

Allison actually was born a “bastard” (Amazon 78), and her life was further complicated through dealing with her

John Hughes's The Breakfast Club is one of film history’s most iconic and renowned movies and is a cornerstone of 1980’s pop-culture. The Breakfast Club showcases five unique high school students who all unfortunately find themselves imprisoned in an all-day Saturday detention. The students go as following: Claire (a pretty girl), Brian (the nerd), John (the bad boy), Andrew (an athlete), and Allison (the strange, goth girl). These students come from very different backgrounds and social settings which proves to spark many conflicts between them as well as with their supervisor Mr. Vernon. But through this conflict they find similarities between themselves, and after spending nine hours locked up together, they find resolution within themselves and with their new friends. Psychology can explain why this happened as well as what caused other events to occur. This paper will examine four different psychological phenomena: stereotypes, conformity/normative social influence, ingroup versus outgroup/superordinate goals, and the various causes of attraction.

He’s never quite sure if he’s doing the right thing or not, or what the right thing even is. Complex heroes usually seem assured and confident on the outside, but when they force themselves to look deeper, they show an insecurity with themselves and what they’re doing.

Dirty Dancing is a classic movie about a young man and a young woman falling in love, and as every movie seems to follow the same type pattern, they have difficulties with the access of being together. Baby’s father wants her to be with one of his doctor friend’s son, but Baby is not interested. The main character, Baby Houseman, is a young woman who is attending a country club with her family for the entire summer. Baby’s father is a doctor, which explains how they are have received a proper invite to the country club for an entire summer. In this country club, they obtain a diverse staff. The country club worker consists of the cleaners, servers, ushers, cooks, and the most intriguing was the entertainment. One evening at dinner a striking man was dancing for the evening and she was sidetracked from then on. The only problem was that he was a worker at the country club not a guest and she knew her family would not approve. One evening she heard music and as enticed by the tune and followed it.

She was not exactly welcomed in, but they thought if they told her to leave, then she would go tell on them and they would get into trouble. As time went on, they became fonder of Baby. They started to realize she was not a stuck up rich girl.

The movie Grease is filled with examples of behavioral conditioning. The classic film is a good example of how all teenagers think and act. From the “cool kids” to the “outcasts,” we all fall into various roles and run wild as we play our parts.

Initially, Alison presents a disconnect between her and her mother. Their conversations are short and tense. Neither of them are fully at ease in each other’s presence and both seem to tiptoe around each other when it comes to deeper, more emotional topics such as Alison’s father’s suicide. However, it becomes apparent to the reader in the course of the comic book that Alison

The Breakfast Club was a movie delineating the interactions of five high school students from differing backgrounds encountering the obstacle of a Saturday detention. These five students were composed of a princess, a brain, an outcast, a jock, and most pertinent to this paper, the rebel, John Bender. John Bender is depicted within this movie as a careless and hostile character with some authority issues. An impulsive and uncooperative individual, Bender, in the detention for pulling the fire alarm, serves as a sharp juxtaposition to the other characters, often challenging the others on their perspectives. This contrast could perhaps be attributed to his home life, which is different from his four detention counterparts.

Gilbert realises throughout the movie that his life is going nowhere and he must break the

Allison Willis was known by the name of Ali to her friends and she too was a high school dropout. Allison had many outbursts and often times acted crazy but her parents seldom said or did anything because they felt it related back to when she was raped at the age of fourteen. Lisa introduced Bobby and Allison in a selfish attempt to better the relationship that she (Lisa) had with Marty.

There are also images that show these queer relationships throughout the graphic novel. Also in Fun Home, there are images that show Allison with character traits more like a guy. An example of this would be on the basketball court with her cousins. Bechdel writes that Allison’s cousins call her a butch, on page 101.

The movie, The Breakfast Club, is a movie about five students who get Saturday school and become friends as a result of it. The characters were: Allison, the quiet girl who would sit in the back and refuse to talk; John, the troublemaker who always talked back to the teachers; Claire, the popular girl who always got what she wanted; Brian, the nerdy student who only cared about having good grades; Andrew, the wrestler who was only focused impressing his father. While watching the movie, I mainly related to Brian. He is pressured to have good grades by his parents and is labeled as the nerd because of it. I am also pressured to have good grades; however, I am labeled as the smart kid in many different classes, but I’m not classified as a nerd.
