The Breakfast Club By John Hughes

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 Breakfast Club movie is about five high school students from Shemer High School with different backgrounds. It’s the story of “a brain (Brian), an athlete (Andrew), a basket case (Allison), a princess (Claire) and a criminal (Bender).” The purpose of the movie is to captive the feelings and perspectives on what other people have experienced and learned from each other. The analysis about The Breakfast Club is about the common insecurities and challenges of the teenager during high school. The Breakfast club is a movie to convey emotions, fears, and companionship that everyone can relate to. However, with new knowledge comes new perspective and emotions. This movie opens up a world of abstract thoughts because none of the five students know each other and it helps to create an interpersonal communication, they revealed to each other how their lives actually are. This movie is about Social Judgment Theory, Interpersonal conflict, self-disclosure, Social Comparison Theory and an unresolved life conflicts of a teenager life by finding their identities.

Overall High School Musical is a great film, with many great aspects. There are many

Works of literature innately embody the author’s ideology and the historical context of the given time period. Within the novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey, the author furthers his ideals against the issue of oppression as he attempts to take stabs against its deteriorating effects and support those who rebel. Set in the microcosm of a small mental hospital, he establishes man’s external struggle to overcome tyranny. At the head of the head of the ward is the corrupted character of Nurse Ratched, who rules with an iron fist and the help of her machine like aides. It also features the nonconformist character, McMurphy, as he works to break Nurse Ratched’s endless cycle of tyranny. Although the novel shifts between the

If you have not seen Dazed and Confused than you are really missing out. It is a great movie that relates from everything to High School to Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll. With an outstanding cast (from the past) it is a movie that everyone can relate to. Dazed and Confused reflects the lifestyle of kids that are entering high school for the first time, to seniors owning the school and being the "man" on compass. It portrays that freshman must watch their backs at all times and if you think you're as cool as the seniors, then you better watch out. There is a ritual that the seniors do to the freshman that have given so many people in reality a though of. With School being out for summer, in Dazed and Confused, it offers a great soundtrack from

This Movie also shows viewers how to be good sports although they encounter with one of the higher class kids of their neighborhood of course Benny and his team win and celebrate their victory by going to the local carnival and end up doing the most stupid things any of them could think of. Other things i also liked about this movie is that they worked as a team and help each other when needed also how most of them still were friends when older. Things i don't like about the Movie is how they can be very hard headed when it came to getting Smalls Ball back Smalls says that instead of trying to sneak up on the beast maybe asking Mr.Mertle if he can get the ball back Squints tells Smalls that Mr.Mertle was one of the meanest old man ever, but that wasn't the case

Since the last time I wrote a journal, I had just finished Joseph Heller’s Catch-22. Now, I started and finished Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and also started Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. There are still sixty-six pages remaining in the novel. Fahrenheit 451 is about a man named Guy Montag living in a future in which books are outlawed. Guy is a fireman whose job it is to burn all remaining books currently located in his city. However, when Guy meets a strange girl living outside of his apartment, he becomes intrigued with what books have the power to do. Instead of following orders, Guy starts wondering why he is doing what he is told to do rather than just doing what he is told. Breakfast of Champions is a science fiction novel describing the lives of two strange men. One of these men is Kilgore Trout, an unheard of novelist who will soon become one of the most famous men in America. The other man in this story is Dwayne Hoover, a wealthy man who made his fortune off of speculation on the stock market. Despite his luxurious home and fantastic job, Dwayne will soon be appalled by Kilgore Trout’s idea that everyone around Dwayne is a robot. In both of these novels, change is an essential theme. In Fahrenheit 451, focus will be brought on the change of the world in which Guy resides, and also the change of Guy as a person, while in Breakfast of Champions, the focus of change is how much America has changed since 1973.

The movie tells the story of two hit men, a mob boss and his wife, and an aging boxer. The stories of these people are put together to create a bizarre yet funny movie.

When the students are eating and Andrew Clark pulls out a lot of food. Bender stares at him and remarks at the amount of food. John does not have any food, this shows the difference in the families ( The Breakfast Club). In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Ferris and his best friend Cameron have very different family lives. Ferris’ family truly loves him and cares about him. In Cameron’s family, his mother and father hate each other. Cameron hates his father he says “Who do you love? Who do you love? You love a car!” (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off). In Planes Trains and Automobiles, all Neal Page wants to do is get home to see his wife and kids for Thanksgiving. Along the way, he meets Del Griffith and together the two struggle to get home (Planes Trains and Automobiles). Family is important and this movie shows just how much someone is willing to do for their family. In National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Clark Griswold, just wants his family to have the best Christmas ever. His house is radiant with christmas lights. He wants his children to have a meaningful childhood. He realizes the importance of having positive things in your childhood, which is why he wants to build a swimming pool (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation). In Home Alone (the original), the family is preparing for a trip and everything is crazy. Kevin McCallister realizes when he is left home alone that he needs his family. Although they may be annoying, they protect him and influence

I have seen the breakfast club three times before taking this class and then saw it for a fourth time during class and I must say that it is defiantly one of my favourite movies. Before this class, I loved it because it was a fun movie depicting teenage school life in its simplest form and it was more or less something I could relate to. I noticed only the funny quotes; close calls and random scenes that made me say “Ha! It’s funny because it’s true.” Such as the scene where all the characters are in detention and they are all just making the dumbest faces, sounds and actions with their pencils. But after taking this class and doing a bit of theory on groups and communication, I realized that the film had a bit more depth to it. It was a

The Breakfast Club is a movie about five totally different students in high school who are forced to spend a Saturday in detention in their school library. The students come from completely different social classes which make it very difficult for any of them to get along. They learn more about each other and their problems that each of them have at home and at school. This movie plays their different personality types against each other. In this essay I will go into detail about each of the students and the principal individually.

There are five main characters in The Breakfast Club. Claire, played by Molly Ringwald, is the rich snob of the group. She is characterized as being very self-centered and conceited. She is in detention because she skipped classes to go shopping one afternoon. Claire puts on a façade that she has a great familial and social life, but in actuality, she is upset with her family and unsure about her friends. The bully of the group is John (Bender), who is played by actor Judd Nelson. Bender is a person who has a lot of issues with himself, which he masquerades with a tough guy exterior, dry humor and sarcasm. Bender ended up in detention because he set off a fire alarm. Another member of The Breakfast Club is Andrew, played by actor Emilio Estevez. Andrew is the jock of the group and on the surface it seems that he is only concerned with pleasing his father and coaches by winning. In actuality, Andrew has a lot of anger and resentment towards his father, coach and himself, because of the person he is becoming. Because he pulled a cruel prank on a classmate, he has ended up in detention. Allison, played by Ally Sheedy, is the emotional basket case of the group. Though she does not speak for the first half of the film, when she finally does start talking, she does not stop. Throughout her conversations in the movie, Allison is covering up her true self, with the lies and embellishments

“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.

No Exit, a play written by Jean-Paul Sartre that debuted in 1944, has many similar themes to the movie The Breakfast Club, written and directed by John Hughes. The play No Exit is perceived as taking place in literal Hell and describes the interactions between those who have died and have been placed in a room together. In The Breakfast Club, students have been put in a metaphorical “hell,” detention, and spend a full day together in the school’s library. For characters in No Exit, trying to deal with other creates a living hell and ends with each of the characters hating one another because they do not help each other; while in The Breakfast Club the characters end up accepting each other after going through the same “hell” because they learn and accept each other.
