Essay about The Breakfast Club

     John Hughes’ 1985 film, The Breakfast Club, gives countless examples of the principles of interpersonal communication. Five high school students: Allison, a weirdo, Brian, a nerd, John, a criminal, Claire, a prom queen, and Andrew, a jock, are forced to spend the day in Saturday detention. By the end of the day, they find that they have more in common than they ever realized.

When you think of a princess you may picture a girl with a lavish dress on and a crown full of jewels on top of her head, but not in William Goldman’s The Princess Bride. The readers encounter just a regular girl from a family that was never royalty, and who is always thinking of her one true love who was once thought dead.

The Breakfast Club is an inspiring tale of five adolescents: Brian, Andrew, Claire, John Bender, and Allison, from diverse backgrounds that unite over a course of eight grueling hours in mandatory Saturday detention. These five individuals come from different social groups and a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds are present, but in the end they discover that they are more alike than they assumed.

But most would say that she was not acting like a princess during the story she does act like a princess during some parts of the story but she had a reason to. Most of the time she just didn’t act like a

In the 1960s, during the New Hollywood Era, the dramas started to become more political due to the Vietnam War. After the 1970s, dramas about sports grew in popularity. Films began to address World War II for the first time on screen. The 1980s started to deal with relatable child or teen issues in their lives. The Breakfast Club, made in the 1980s, is a movie about a bunch of teenagers who are involved in completely different social groups, get stuck in detention together.

Culture can be found in many different areas of the world. I watched the movie "The Breakfast Club" which is only one of the many places that you can find culture. "The Breakfast Club" is a movie about five high school students that come from five different backgrounds. Each of the five students did something different to earn a Saturday detention under the watch of their unenlightened principal. The group of students includes John, Claire, Allison, Andrew and Brian. John who is the rebel of the group while Claire is the princess. Allison is the person who nobody understands or cares to understand while Andrew is the high school jock. Last but not least is Brian who is known for having an A in every class. Even though each of them come from

The Breakfast Club is a story of five teenagers who were sentenced to Saturday detention Each of them having their own identity knew nothing about each other before this day. They all came from different socioeconomically backgrounds. We have the jock Andrew Clark, Claire Standish the most popular girl in school, Brian Johnson the brains, John Bender the catalyst of the group with his rebellious nature, and last but not least Allison Reynolds the eccentric but yet the “basket case” of the group. Despite the fact that they all go to the same school, none of them have much in common, except Andrew and Claire who are both part of the “popular” crowd. The Breakfast Club can fall into the subject of Social Psychology due to the diversity of their

With the increasing academic and extracurricular expectations placed on high-school students, we pack our schedules tightly with rigorous courses, extracurricular activities, and voluntary work. We believe that our future and success are dependent on the work we do as students, and we sacrifice our health towards that goal. Instead of feeding on the nutrition of healthy meals, we turn to fast-food that is convenient and with rising options minutes away from school. However, the rising rates of obesity in our youth urge active action to be taken to change this norm of our teens consuming fast-food. [As a fellow high-school student, I expose this problem and advocate to improve the eating habits of high-school students.]

High school is a defining moment in the existence of all individuals and has been

As a little girl, one always dreams of becoming a princess, wonders who her prince charming will be, and how beautiful she will feel on the day of her fairytale wedding. Disney princesses have always given those curious little minds a role model to look up to. Cinderella was a less-than-average girl, for example, who later met the man of her dreams and became royalty. Although a film written strictly from one’s imagination, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, could very well be thought of as another one of those classic Disney princesses. Just an average girl who had a normal life is now in line for the throne. Some may say she was willing to do anything to make her childhood dreams reality, while others

Acting like a princess is not truly such a terribly damaging activity in all cases. Dress-up does have the chance to give girls a sense of empowerment about themselves, as some girls might see the power that some of these characters have. At the same time, dressing-up can also hinder a child’s development, as they could become fixated on how the princesses look. As these females are not realistically drawn, girls would recognize that they do not perfectly match up to the characters that they are dressing up as. The focus on dressing up would not be to feel like the character but to look like the character, shifting girls away from developing their personality and instead towards working on their appearance. Girls are not taught how to be individuals through focusing on how their body is, something that is very detrimental to their development as a

Vianne wanders a lot with her daughter. She never lived in a place longer than 2 years. She has been in many different countries and speaks good French as well as English. This time they arrive in a very small town in France, between Toulouse and Bordeaux.

Ever since the beginning of the Disney era, the princesses have been presented as timid and in need of saving. Especially with the waking of the modern and more feminist era, women have found a voice that they feel Disney’s representation of girls had previously squandered. In recent movies however, Disney has made a comeback in creating princesses which provide young girls role models that provide for themselves rather than waiting on a hero. No longer are the princesses silent and conservative, but they are liberated young women ready to take on the world.

When the club opens at eight, it's almost unrecognisable. Two large men dressed in black suits guard the entrance, they seem friendly enough, but I'm told they have a mean streak when provoked. Two blonde twin girls sit in the kiosk, waiting to sell tickets and collect coats. A sea of people, a variety of shapes and sizes, fill the once empty room to capacity.

You’re sitting there and watching your favorite film: Cinderella. You think she is very determined and so compassionate. But her stepsisters ruin her dress and her fairy godmother comes and gives her this stunning carriage and ball gown and you wish you could be as beautiful as she is. Disney princesses are good role models, they are very impactful to young children, sometimes they sacrifice themselves, and you can learn plenty of values from them.
