Essay about Ferris Bueller's Day Off

To start, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” occurs around main title character Ferris Bueller; he has an uncanny ability of skipping classes with no consequences. Intending to make one last skip day before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day journey through the streets of Chicago with his best friend Cameron, and girlfriend Sloane. On Ferris' trail is high school principal Rooney, determined to catch him in the act.

Since Ferris is a senior in high school, which suggests that he is appropriately eighteen years old. Adolescents from age eighteen to twenty-five years old can be considered as emerging adulthood (Berger, 2015), so Ferris is an emerging adult. His psychological development can be explained by Erikson. Erikson developed eight developmental stages, while 18 years old Ferris will fall under the “Identify vs. Role confusion” stage. In this stage, adolescents want to find out their identity by answering the question “who am I?” Most of the adolescents will find their identification in sexual, political, religious, and vocational aspects; however, there are also adolescents will confuse about their identities. (Berger, 2015). Since Ferris is a well-loved student and he is really confident about every problem he faces. For example, he fakes himself as the Sausage King of Chicago, he does not feel frightened by the manager; instead, he insists the original thought, which allows him to enter the fancy restaurant. Certainly, Ferris knows who he is, and he also has a clear view of the future goal. Even though he skipped classes for nine times, he knew that he is going to college and over the summer he is going to find a job. There is no clear identification of what his occupations in the movie; however, Ferris has a

Sunset Boulevard (Wilder 1950) explores the intermingling of public and private realms, puncturing the illusion of the former and unveiling the grim and often disturbing reality of the latter. By delving into the personal delusions of its characters and showing the devastation caused by disrupting those fantasies, the film provides not only a commentary on the industry of which it is a product but also a shared anxiety about the corrupting influence of external perception. Narrated by a dead man, centering on a recluse tortured by her own former stardom, and concerning a once-promising director who refuses to believe his greatest star could ever be forgotten, the work dissects a multitude of illusory folds to reveal an ultimately

Not only does “American Pie” argue a message it also pulls many generations together. Today, thirty years after the initial release, “American Pie” still has an effect in our music and continues to be popular with all age groups. Don McLean accomplishes this task through using the context of the time period, placement of words, the words

The Breakfast Club was a movie about five very different characters, Claire, Andrew, Brian, Allison, and John Bender.

Throughout the movie, Bruce Wayne continues to distance himself from society as Batman. While attending the hotel party Rachel confronts Bruce about doing more for the city.

He tries to save others from getting hurt from outlaws and evildoers.

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.

While walking from class yesterday, I saw something. I noticed there was a group of individuals setting up a tent, electric keyboard, and a few other things amongst these. It was obvious to me as if there was going to be a local concert in the park. I assumed this would be produced by a group of younger people, but it was led by an older group. To me, this was rather interesting since it was as close as Woodruff Park. This was a close location from to my dorm and right outside the location of my class. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay for the first half of the session, but I was able to return for a short time after leaving my meeting.

Charlie is the prime example of a character who has an alter-ego, as he both literally dons a costume and mentally identifies as Batman.
