The movie The Breakfast Club is about five students in spending their day in saturday detention. All of these characters have completely different personalities from one another‚ which makes the movie more interesting than it already is. The character that I will be doing my character analysis on is named John Bender. John Bender is the troublemaker of the group‚ and‚ in my opinion‚ the funniest.

or by the opinion of an English Professor. Humanity is defined by the individual‚ and so the focus here is on the Kurt Vonnegut’s‚ and Tim O’Brien’s definition of humanity‚ which is characterized by human spirit‚ heart‚ and empathy. In Slaughterhouse-Five and The Things They Carried both Kurt Vonnegut and Tim O’Brien describe the destruction of humanity caused by war.

The character I picked from The Breakfast Club is Allison Reynolds. This character relates to me by how she is quiet and doesn’t speak much when she isn’t comfortable with the people around her‚ eventually she will become comfortable and show her true self. She is also like me by the way how she lies a lot‚ and how she does admit to lying later on. I lie sometimes‚ just not as much‚ plus my lies aren’t as bad as Allison’s. I can visualize myself‚ and some of my friends in Allison.I can visualize

As the movie starts out‚ the five teenagers are being punished with Saturday detention; their assignment for
