However‚ especially with more recent waves of immigration‚ some pieces of their culture remain uniquely their own and sometimes cannot be directly translated into English and American culture.

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

HW – The Emperor’s Club The Professor had deep and huge problems regarding Cedric’s case. The primary problem was Cedric’s retained bad attitude (lack of focus‚ disrespectfulness and CHEATING) which he carried on until his grown man years. In my opinion‚ the professor has been an accomplice to this sad outcome of Cedric when he allowed him to be part of the top three Julius Caesar contestants even if he was not clearly deserving of the position.
