One of the requirements of Ferris State University to graduate with Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice is all students must complete an internship. I decided to complete my internship at the 17th Circuit Court Family Division located at 1565 Cedar St. My supervisor’s name is Jeff Hekman. I have worked with other six interns from Ferris State University, Grand Rapids Community College, and Grand Valley University. We all shared a passion for justice and to help others in our community by mentoring

The Breakfast Club Noah Lane Ivy Tech Community College Abstract This paper is why everyone should watch The Breakfast Club. It tells a story of four teenagers battling with rebellion, drama, and love. Most critics will argue that it is not realistic, and no teenager is like that. However, The Breakfast Club written by John Hughes made teens everywhere relate to at least one of these characters. This movie is a dramatic comedy that will make someone laugh, cry, and angry all brought

Lou Anne Johnson is a pop culture teacher played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the movie Dangerous Minds. Dangerous Minds was definitely a Hollywood movie, but still had some important character ideas serving relevance to what 21st century educators should still resemble today. The premise of the movie depicts that inner city schools often have students who are behind, (not exclusively, but primarily minorities), but with true passion, understanding, compassionate effort, these students can rise to astonishing

Everyone knows the iconic movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – the epitome of adolescent rebellion and independence – the benchmark of free-spirited insubordination that lies in the heart of all teenagers. Sure, the movie depicts skipping school as nothing more than a harmless and fun pastime, something that is enjoyable due in large part to its riskiness. But essentially it documents the day of a truant. A truant whose wild antics entertain, but a truant nonetheless. Like most things, Hollywood’s characterization

Rebel Without a Cause: When injustice is seen compelling within our wake, it is a duty for us to seek rebellion, to examine society and provide a means of contribution to guarantee success and progression. Life inaugurates a diversity of obstacles, sentiment, idealism and impels humans to find their identity and perspective through means of purpose and conformity. Adolescence remarks upon this spectre of finding one’s identity, beliefs and scope of understanding of the complex ambivalence in which

There is much to say John Hughes' marvelously crafted Sixteen Candles. Hughes' interpretation of what it's like to grow up a teenager trying to find themselves is impeccable. In this comedic, blissful coming-of-age film, the story follows Samantha Baker-- or Sam as she is most often called-- as she navigates through her sixteenth birthday; everyone forgot this very important day in Sam's life. This movie truly has it all: annoying little siblings, misunderstood teenagers, an older sister who sucks

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 Catcher in the Rye and The Breakfast Club Various pieces of literature and entertainment exhibit similar characteristics in their writing style, themes, and portrayals. These features are in each piece to enhance the reading and viewing. The novel The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, and the movie The Breakfast Club directed by John Hughes, are two works that are similar in some significant aspects. Both compositions overflow with the theme of teenage rebellion, use rich vernacular, and

“The key to faking out parents is the clammy hands” says Ferris Bueller as he explains his methods on how to fake sick and skip school. “it’s a little childish and stupid but then so is high school” utters Bueller as he validates his reasons for skipping school. As he is getting changed to prepare for his day of no school, he continues with more advice on ways to scheme parents followed by some life advice. He promptly goes on to mention his famous line, “Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop
