Ferris Bueller: Possible or Not?

I have read some information about the museum on its site, and decided that I should definitely go there.

The 1986 film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, follows teenage rebel Ferris Bueller and his group of friends as they ditch high school and venture off to spend the day in downtown Chicago. Main character, Ferris Bueller, is no stranger to missing a day of school. He has mastered the ways of faking sick and uses this to his advantage. Now on his ninth absence, sister Jeanie and principle Rooney are fed up and have the desire to catch him in his lies and expose him to his oblivious parents. Despite their efforts, Bueller is one step ahead and consistently finds ways to avoid any obstacle thrown at him. Through his persuasive personality, confidence, and brave behavior Ferris Bueller’s day off is one to remember. This crazy and adventurous film not only brings joy and laughter to viewers but illustrates two specific theories of communication: Shannon-Weaver’s Model of Communication and Interpersonal Deception.

Never before have I seen a museum as grand as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. From its architecture to its massive art collection, The Met has a little bit of everything and one is sure to find something that captures his or her interest. Considering that The Met is the United States' largest art museum, it is easy to get lost within its many corridors and wings. My visit to The Met took place during the last week of July. Despite the almost unbearable heat and humidity that hung in the air, visiting museums under these climate conditions is a welcome respite from a suffocating, yet bright summer afternoon.

The three friends (Ferris, Sloane and Cameron) all skip school and have an amazing time while their friends and classmates are stuck in school, exploring the great city of Chicago. As they carry on with their plan, they eventually run into some issues that were handled later by the end of the movie. Ferris being a very gutsy kid, pushed everything he did to the limit and beyond. Surprisingly, he got away with everything, at some point in the movie it felt like even God did not want him

Interestingly, my first visit to the Museum was almost accidental. When I was a freshman, my mother was taking an art class at the College of Staten Island which required a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum, and my brother and I both agreed to accompany her. I will never forget the moment that I first laid eyes on the Metropolitan Museum. Although it was a dark, cold winter night, the shimmering lights made the building most inviting. As we crossed the threshold, I was struck by

In the movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, there are two very clear and distinct classes. The movie clearly does not support the power structure it portrays, which is one with many classes, and different amounts of power and wealth. Ferris and his friends have great lives from the perspective of most people, and the movie highlights their easy lives.The two classes are present in the movie, as well as in our society. While we respectively label them as the "Middle Class" and the "Working Class," Marxist thought distinguishes them by the terms "Bourgeoisie" and "Proletariat." There is a great difference between these two classes and it is evident throughout the film.

As Edgar Degas once said, “ Art is not what you see, but what others make you see”. The St. Louis Art Museum is a place for artist to display their art and give spectators the option to see art from a new perspective. This was the case for me. As we walked up to the beautifully structured building that stood so tall and wide, my expectations were extremely high. At first glance I notice the bronze statue of King Louis IX of France riding high on his horse. From this statue alone, my expectations of the art museum grew stronger. I have never been to an art museum before, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect. My first expectation was to see huge detailed sculptures right as I walked through the door. That expectation didn’t come true.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was written, produced, and directed by John Hughes. The film was released on June 11, 1986. It stared the likes of Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller), Alan Ruck (Cameron Frye). Mia Sara (Sloane Peterson), Jeffrey Jones (Ed Rooney), and Jennifer Grey (Jeanie Bueller). Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is about a high school senior, Ferris Bueller, that pretends to be sick to get a day off from school. He convinces his friend, Cameron Frye, to join him. They devise a plan to get Ferris’ girlfriend out of school as well.

The historic atmosphere provides a fabulous backdrop for your lunch. Visitors can take advantage of the two picnic tables that are available to use. While you are enjoying your meal, you can enjoy taking in all of the sights around the

Ferris has a very easy-going personality and is very cool which is why everyone loves him. Considering that they started a fund for a new kidney for him. Ferris, Cameron, and Sloane spend an incredible day, skipping school, and touring the amazing city of Chicago. The first thing to look into where Ferris resides. He probably lives within a few miles of his school due to the

Since (put a time), the media has tainted the idea of obtaining a good education in America. If there is someone who enjoys school and learning, then they are considered a nerd or someone who is not conventionally looked as a cool kid. Contrastingly, the media conveys the message that if someone does not like school, or at least pretends to not like it, then they are perceived as a cool kid. America’s media system has continually deterred our children from going to school by praising popular and mainstream things that are against the idea of school. An example of such a thing is the movie, Ferris Bueller’s day off. What is seen as a classic American comedy, has an undertone that bashes the practice of going to school. From the boring teacher in the beginning of the film, to the principle representing the antagonist of the story, this movie sends the message to adolescents that the authority figures in life are harmful rather than supportive and uplifting. Nevertheless, the media is not the sole source of this problem. The American Government should be held accountable for some of these problems that need to be addressed.

April 10, 2013 I seated myself in a booth with my back faced to the wall. It was here that I had an ominous view of the Galleria food court. With pencil in hand, and notebook ready, I began taking notes on the many observations I noticed in the three hour window that I sat and “people watched”.

When it comes to dining-in at a restaurant we all want the best service that we can get. When I think of “the best service” I think about the cleanliness, nice waitresses, good food, and affordable prices. There are so many different options when a family thinks about going out to eat, especially if they have small children. It’s often hard to go to a nice dine-in restaurant because sometimes it’s hard to find something on the menu for everyone in the family. I have experienced many things at two completely different restaurants. I can say Demos’ is better than Logan’s because the food and service is much better.

The hero of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off notes, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Ferris’ observation parallels to all comedies and Northrup Frye’s essay, “The Structure of Comedy”. Despite Ferris Bueller’s Day Off being made in 1986, its comedic plot line still relates to the 21st century. Wanting to skip school, sibling rivalry, antics with friends, and young love in this film are relevant to modern comedies.

HOOKY is a comedy with a really fun plot. Like in the classic film FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF, an unappreciated mother and housewife takes the day off and has an adventure. It’s really a very smart premise.
