The Breakfast Club
Introduction
Attention getting material
Imagine yourself in close proximity with 4 strangers nothing like you. That’s what the characters’ in The Breakfast Club were faced with.
Tie to audience For this specific setting a group of 5 eclectic students are forced into serving 9 hours of Saturday detention for whatever they had done wrong. In attendance is a “princess” (Claire Standish), an “athlete” (Andrew Clark), a “brain” (Brian Johnson), a “criminal” (John Bender) and a “basket case” (Allison Reynolds).
Thesis Statement
I’m sure at one point or another in life we have all been faced with a similar situation.
Purpose Statement
“The Breakfast Club” provides us with many unique displays of how small groups interact in their case it’s through ,dancing, harassing each other, telling stories, they fight , smoke pot and speak on a number of topics. During this time they eventually open up to each other and reveal their inner secrets. After listening to our presentation you may see “The Breakfast Club” in a different way other than just their stereotypes portrayed in the movie but how they communicate as a group to solve problems throughout the day. During our presentation we will provide you with examples of status, rules and norms, power and cohesiveness that were illustrated in the movie.
Transition to body
First Jenifer is going to speak about status, and its effect on group dynamic.
Jenifer STATUS
I am going to talk to you about the effect status has on a group dynamic. The fact is that every teen character in this movie can be related to someone we knew in high-school, perhaps even your own self.
As a child of the 80's, I believe that movie is truly an honest representation of a cross-section of every high school in America.
Status is a huge part of this movie. The different walks of life that these kids represent are resounding throughout the entire production.
The brain… the athlete… the basketcase… the princess… and the future criminal. They all exist,
