abuse and learn lesson from it. Write your thoughts trough REACTION PAPER on this sheet.
Using the following format.
I. Introduction:
The film stars Andrew McCarthy as Clay, a college freshman returning home for Christmas
to spend time with his ex-girlfriend Blair (Jami Gertz) and his friend Julian (Robert Downey
Jr.), who is also a drug addict. The film presents a look at the culture of wealthy, decadent
youth in Los Angeles.
II. Body:
Bret Easton Ellis’s Less Than Zero, a novel split into eleven parts, takes place in Los Angeles
in the 1980s. The story follows a group of college-age characters, beginning with
protagonist Clay in part 1. Clay is returning home for Christmas break from his college in
New Hampshire; his girlfriend, Blair, picks him up at the airport. At home, Clay is alone as his
mother and sisters have gone shopping for the holiday. He calls his friend, Julian, but Julian
doesnot answer. Clay ruminates on their friend Muriel; Blair told him Muriel is anorexic. He
goes to a party at Blair’s house with Daniel and looks for Julian so that he can get some
drugs. He spends time with his mother and sisters though they donot get along, as well as
his friends and his psychiatrist.
In part 2, Clay goes to another party. Blair is high already, and Clay goes to get high on
cocaine with a drug dealer named Rip. The next day, he meets his father, an executive in the
film industry. They barely talk, but Clay knows his father will give him money. He goes to
visit Muriel in the hospital, but he does not have much to say to her and is glad to leave
again. He meets up with Rip to buy more drugs, and sees Julian, though Julian seems
uneasy.
Part 4 begins on New Year’s Eve with more partying and drugs. Clay wants to leave, but
before he can, Muriel locks herself in a bathroom and takes heroin. The next day, Rip tells
Clay that Julian is looking for him. He goes to meet him at a restaurant but Julian does not
show, so Clay drives over to his house. Julian asks Clay if he can borrow money to pay for
an abortion.
In part 6, Clay tells Trent that he and Blair are over, though he has not told her yet. Trent
chides him for being tacky. After dinner they go to a club, where Clay has an emotional
breakdown in the bathroom. When he returns to the table, he sees a plea for help written on
the placements in red crayon. He goes home with a girl he meets at the club, and though
they do not have sex, they do have an intimate experience. She tells him to leave quietly
afterward so he does not wake her parents. The next day Clay visits his psychiatrist again.
His cocaine use has caused him to start sneezing blood, yet, he continues using cocaine. At
a party at Blair’s, she will not even look at him.
Part 7 opens with Clay trying and failing to contact Julian. At a club, he sees a message
indicating that Julian has died. Blair agrees to go out with him and drinks too much. After
getting behind the wheel, she hits and kills a coyote; Clay watches it die. Over the next few
days, Clay continues asking about Julian, but no one seems to know where he has gone.
In part 8, Clay decides to stop seeing his psychiatrist. He finally finds Julian, who insists that
they have to to go some man’s apartment to get the money he owes Clay. Clay learns that
the man, Finn, is a pimp. Finn insists that Julian go on another appointment to get the
money. Clay must go too, because the client wants someone there to watch him with Julian.
Clay realizes he no longer cares about the money but wants to see what will happen.
Part 9 brings Julian and Clay to the hotel room of Mr. Erickson. Though he feels sick at the
prospect, Clay watches Mr. Erickson and Julian have sex. Julian and Clay then go to meet
Finn and get the money that Julian owes Clay. Finn promises to give Julian the money after
one more appointment. Julian refuses and demands his money from Finn. Finn forces
Julian to take heroin and forces him to prostitute himself.
In part 10, Clay meets up with Rip and Trent, and they find a dead body in an alleyway. They
smoke marijuana around the corpse, which is leaning against the wall. Rip takes them back
to his home where a twelve-year-old girl is tied up and forced to take heroin. Rip’s friends
rape the girl; Clay and Trent leave.
In the final and eleventh part of Less Than Zero, Clay is ready to return to school. Rip shows
him a car accident, and Blair asks Clay if he ever loved her, to which he replies that he never
did. Despite this, she asks him not to go to back to New Hampshire, but he does not plan to
stay in Los Angeles.
The moral is when life is hard you don’t have to resort on drugs to make it
better for it will never make our life easy nor happy. It is a temporary answer to
an unsolvable problem we call life. The only thing we can do is look for
something that we can hang on to because when you start drugs it will never
be easy to get out of it.

Principles of Servant leadership
The “Where Am I” tree exercise serves as a guide in determining one’s level
as a leader. To choose one’s desired position will mean how he/she works in
order to become very effective in the implementation of a certain duty.
Your location in the tree may help you realize that your potentials may be
enhanced or improved.
As a servant leader, select and color one number that best describes your
position. Explain in one or two sentences why you chose such. Discuss your
answer with your co-trainee.
I will climb high as high as I can but if I know that my body and my mind
can’t control the pressure that being a leader should handle I will not go
further. This is not only for me but also for the people that I am supposed
to lead because I believe that a leader should believe in his/her self-first
in order to serve others.
