Ferris Bueller's Day Off

In the Breakfast Club, there are many cognitive advancements that are conveyed. The biggest cognitive advancements that takes place throughout the film are abstract thought, hypothetical thought and multidimensional thought. The movie centers on the essay that the students need to write, “Who do you think you are.” This question requires the group of students to think about their experiences, formulate ideas, acknowledge their knowledge, awareness and reflect on their experiences. The film illustrates how the adolescents thinking changes from concrete thinking- judging their peers and their own lives, to abstract thinking- viewing similarities between the characters and understanding the differences in their lives while showing empathy.

The movie starts with the heartbreaking scene of Radio pushing his cart around the town, in his own little world; people are ignoring him, and a lady pulls her daughter out of the way, running towards the opposite sidewalk. Every day Radio walks by the school, watching the football team training. While lingering by the fence of the high school football field one afternoon, the boy catches

The movie starts off with a group of teenagers in school, all from different social groups. They all meet in detention on a Saturday where they are forced to sit in complete silence and they get assigned to write a paper about “who you think are” by their principal Vernon. Throughout the movie their minds are exposed to the different lives and experience of each other; with that they create this bond that

While she is in the hospital, her mother does not stay with her. Instead she visits a few times and gives her oranges, seeming to be disappointed in the fact that it is an illness. At this point in the story, the reader can begin to feel sorry for young Jeanette. She is left all alone in the hospital while her mother is busy helping the church. Jeanette wants to be a missionary, just like in the stories her mom has read to her. In the beginning of the book, it appears that Jeanette’s mother does love her.

Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron spend one amazing day ditching school, exploring the great city of Chicago and take time to visit many landmarks and take part in many exciting activities. The day depicted in the movie would be a great and exciting day for anyone, but is it possible for them to have done all of the things they did in one day? I believe it is reasonable to believe that Ferris and company may have been able to do all the things they did in the movie in one day.

Ferris’ first stop is the school where he “breaks” his girlfriend out by creating a bogus story of her dead grandmother. He calls the antagonist of the movie, Principal Ed Rooney, and explains his girlfriend’s dire situation. Rooney, however, can tell that he is being played and vows vengeance on Ferris. Not surprising. At this point, it is clear to see how teenagers and their adult counterparts are stereotyped as being young and immature compared to cynical and evil, consecutively. The social and power barriers implemented by the school system create a division in the relationships that the students are able to

For the summer assignment, I read Make Lemonade (1993) by Virginia Euwer Wolff, and I viewed the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986). This project was an exploration of the similarities among and the feelings of adolescents in different settings, having varied experiences and through time. Many young adults, including me, perceive themselves and others in a negative fashion. Both Make Lemonade and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off examine the ideas of young adults overcoming challenges and changing their mindsets.

The film depicts its main character throughout his efforts of trying to take a day off of school, dragging his friend and girlfriend along for the ride.

The film takes us on a number of adventures and activities of fun, laughs, and most importantly self-discovery.
