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. John is introduced into the movie at the same time as the other characters. Some of the first impressions

The film we watched in class was The Breakfast Club. I had heard of this movie and seen some parts of it before‚ but never really sat and watched the movie‚ so it was a pleasure to observe and analyze the characters and how they developed.

Before I entered the Laguna National Country Club‚ I had the idea that people who frequent country clubs were rich people. They were people who had lots of money and lots of time to enjoy such facilities. I associated those people with the high society of Singapore and it was a league of citizens that I may never enter.

The fact that Tyler is a salesman for this product represents Jack’s subservience to this culture. Fight Club is founded as a way for men to regain their primitive instinct that culture tries to wash off.
