    Discussing character: The Breakfast Club (1985)

    The Breakfast Club (1985) was written and directed by John Hughes.

    The Breakfast Club tells the story of five teenagers: ‘criminal’ John Bender (Judd Nelson),
    ‘athlete’ Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez), ‘brain’ Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall),
    ‘basket case’ Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy), and ‘princess’ Claire Standish (Molly
    Ringwald). The five teenagers report for Saturday morning detention on March 24, 1984 at
    Shermer High School in the Chicago suburb of Shermer, Illinois. While not complete
    strangers, each of them comes from a different clique, and they seem to have nothing in
    common. They gather in the high school library, where they are ordered not to speak or
    move from their seats or sleep by the assistant principal, Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason).
    They are to remain there for a period of eight hours, fifty-four minutes (from 7:06am to
    4pm). Vernon assigns a 1000-word essay (in which each student must write about who he
    or she thinks they are) and then leaves, returning occasionally to check on them. Each
    teenager leaves detention a different person, less a stereotype and more themselves.

    Our task is to discuss:

     Who the teenagers are when they arrive at Saturday detention?

     Who the teenagers are when they leave Saturday detention?

     What factors have influenced them to change and reveal who they really are?
