It’s a story about communication gaps‚ teen isolation‚ and the angst that everyone (regardless of how self-assured they seem) experiences during the years that

Then‚ Brian Johnson‚ “the brain” is the peaceful smart guy who fears making poor grades. The “basket case” is Allison Reynolds. She speaks seldom and has a bizarre style. Lastly‚ the rebel is John Bender. He is “the criminal” who seeks opposition. He is a bully with an insubordinate attitude towards the principal‚ Richard Vernon. The principal has given these fives

NASCAR history can trace its roots back to 1794. That’s a century before the invention of the automobile‚ but it was the year of the Whiskey Rebellion.

The reason I love this movie is that I can relate many of the characters to people I know or have met throughout my life. I relate myself to Alisson Reynolds‚ who comes off as strange and reserved.
