The Breakfast Club Clare Character Analysis
As we continue watching “The Breakfast Club”, a specific character has caught my eye, her name is Clare. At the beginning of the movie she seemed so innocent, she has the impression that her life was perfect. On the contrary, as the film started to proceed we saw a deeper side of Clare. As she tried to play off Saturday school like it was nothing so she could keep her reputation, “Most popular girl in school” I feel as though Bender was the main reason she opened up. As if he was almost harassing her, from making sexual comments to asking her an extreme amount of questions.
Consequently, after all the conflict, they started to see that they all had flaws and not everything is as it seems. The students ended up sitting on the floor and in a

    McMurphy- McMurphy is outgoing, a leader and a rebel. There was a constant power struggle in the movie between the patient's new found savior McMurphy, and the evil Nurse Ratched who rules their wing of the hospital with an iron fist. McMurphy fights to change the system to try to win back the patients' rights and in the process gain more privileges for the patients and himself. McMurphy also seems to get pleasure out of fighting the system. His motives are simple, he wants to help out his fellow patients, his friends, to make their lives better. McMurphy was successful in changing many of the rules and regulations that were imposed upon them by Nurse Ratched. McMurphy was a very inspirational speaker and during the regularly occurring meetings between the patients and the doctors he would rally the patients to fight against Nurse Ratched. Thus he was able to win back some of their rights. McMurphy also uses his cunning wit and his skills as a con man to persuade the doctors into giving the patients more rights and activities. I think that he was faking crazy because he had only 68 days left in work detail and so he thought he would fake it so he could stay in " The Cuckoos Nest" for the rest of the time. He was wrong though. He was actually admitted which means that he could only leave when the doctors thought he was better. He was only 1 of 3 that was actually admitted. He thought he was smart but in the end he dies for being lazy. He gets into a fight with one of the guards and he is given electric shock of 10,000 volts every day for 2 weeks. Then he came back and he was just like he was before. Then he invited these 2 girls over to have a party at the institute. The way that he got the girls in is that he paid the guard on duty $40.00. They had a party and McMurphy was about to escape but he drank too much and passed out. In the morning when the other guards came to do their shift they found everyone passed out on the floor. McMurphy again hit a guard and this…

    Throughout One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, there are signs that McMurphy is a comic Christ-like figure; despite his apparent faults and shortcomings, his actions match that of a tragic hero who saves his people. McMurphy may be considered boorish and in many ways immoral, however, he has other characteristics that resemble Christ- McMurphy has a modest background as a logger, he helps his people rise up against the ward, and he also has a humiliating and sacrificial fall when he is lobotomized. In Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, there are analogies between McMurphy and Jesus’s actions and teachings, behavior and influence to their followers, and deaths…

    Imagine yourself on summer vacation. It’s warm and the weather is beautiful.Though this vacation might sound good, imagine the boredom you will feel after three long months of doing almost nothing. Summer seems to have lasted forever, and once you go back to school, you hardly remember anything that you had learned last year. Now imagine school in November. You’ve been at it for three months, and you’re struggling to get through. School might seem to be dragging on and on. With year-round school both of these scenarios can be changed for the better. All of this leads me to believe that more freshmen should support going to a year-round school system.…
