Claire In The Breakfast Club

Claire Standish is known as the “princess” of New Trier High School, similarly, Regina George is also viewed as that “Queen Bee” of North Shore High School. Although these two characters are both reasonably wealthy and that they are both on top of the social hierarchy, they are both very different whom share no personality similarities whatsoever. Regina (MG) is a manipulative, promiscuous teenage girl who cares about no ones feelings, however, Claire (TBC) is emotionally vulnerable, modest and kind. Although people would assume that these two characters are very much alike, due to their popularity, there could not be anything more wrong, as a matter of fact, these characters resemble more of other characters than one another. Regina’s manipulative and controlling attitude resembles John Bender. Both Regina and Bender say things that resemble one another, whether it be when they are talking about the opposite sex or clothing, in MG when Regina is trying to make Cady jealous with Aaron Samuels she says “Why do you wear your hair like that? Your hair looks so sexy pushed back. Cady, will you please tell him his hair looks sexy pushed back?” similarly, Bender says something quite similar to that quote to Claire, saying, “You're kind of sexy when you're angry.” If John Bender and Regina George were placed in the same film they would be in two completely

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

Claire Standish is the typical popular, mainstream, and rich prom ruler at her high school. When she decided to ditch school and instead go to the mall she got served a Saturday Detention . Claire’s parents also don't have the best relationship and they mostly use Claire as an excuse to get at each other's throats. Claire is stuck up, snooty, and has clearly stated that she will not hang out with you if your so called not popular at school. In the movie she also states that she her decisions mostly are not based on her own feelings, but her peers and parents feelings or so called, peer pressure.

The film The Breakfast club illustrates how a person’s identity can be influenced by conflict he or she has experienced. First, Claire Standish she gets everything she wants, her dad treats her like a princess and she can’t do anything on her own. For example , She skipped school to go shopping but her dad didn’t really care cause he used to all ways get her out of Sunday detention but this time he couldn’t. Everybody looked up to her like she was god because she was pretty and had popularity. Andrew Clark he can’t really think for himself because his dad was mainly running his life as if it was his because he wanted his son to be like him. For instance, Andrew taped some kids booty together everybody else thought it was

Claire- being the beautiful and popular girl in the equation, she has an act for attention and was a great influence in the problems of the group, mostly by Bender making fun of here, and everyone mostly Claire and Andrew reacting. Some of the group roles that claire portrays are some task roles such as clarifying. She would state to Bender who was always being mean to her should sit down and be quite or that Mr. Vernon would catch him messing around and cause even more mayhem. She would even showcase maintenance roles such as harmonizing and relieving tension. When bender would make a messing by being outlandish she’ll tell him to shut up and be quite and when here and bender were alone in the closet they would take to each other and as well exchange a hickey, but one of the greatest roles she played was the withdrawing role. When Bender and Allison were pressuring her to reveal if she was a virgin she would avoid the question or not even say anything at all for for of them finding out. She did eventually say that she was a virgin but was heavy pressure by the group.

The reinforcement for Clair’s behavior was mainly dependent on the approval she received from her popular peer group. She has a notion that she needs to be “popular” or approved in order to be seen as better in her school. Reinforcement would also be abiding by her parents so she is able to shop with her families wealth. After she had bought something materialistic, it makes her feel good. There was a battle of the reinforcement values in this movie. One was, as stated above, to seek approval of her older known peers known to be stuck-up, condescending, and popular. The other is reinforcement of a more positive virtue. This virtue is as stated, thinking independently and

The film The Breakfast Club, directed by John Hughes, illustrates how a teenager’s identity can be influenced by the conflicts he or she has experienced in life. First, Bender is influenced by his dad. His life is rough. His dad mistreats him and doesn’t care for him. This influences Bender to be a bully to feel better about himself. For example, when he is in the library, he tells everyone about how he got a cigar burn from his dad. His dad must abuse him, so Bender doesn’t know what to do about it besides bully others. Moreover, Allison’s identity is influenced by her parents. They ignore her, so she doesn’t feel loved. She wants to run away. For instance, she tell some students in the

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.

Baloney isn’t made from lamb Did Mary Maloney temporarily go insane and kill her husband? Did Mary Maloney knowingly tamper with evidence after she killed her husband? Did Mary Maloney know of the consequences of her lawless action? Mary Maloney was an evil criminal knowing full and well what she was doing was wrong when she was covering up her evil deed and possibly even when she killed him.

In the The Breakfast Club Claire is the Prom Queen within the film. She is the most popular and wealthiest teen of the group. Claire is in detention for cutting class to go to the mall. She is quite used to being shielded by her group of friends and has affectionate parents who spoil and treat her in spitefulness of one another. She is snooty and stuck up and confesses to not having the longing to hang out with anybody who is not popular.

“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” This is a quote from one of the main characters from this film. This film is an older one and came out in the year, 1985. It centers around five high school students who spend their Saturday in detention. Each of the five students signifies a stereo type, that are displayed in schools. The characters are John who is known as the criminal, Claire as the princess, Andrew known as the athlete or jock, Brian as the brain/nerd, and lastly, Allison is known as the basket case. We are also introduced to Richard Vernon the school principal and Carl the janitor. It helps us to remember that no matter how I may observe a student to be, there could be a very good chance, there will be some darker parts that are just waiting to be shared with others, they could be just waiting for someone to ask.
