“The Breakfast Club” is movie that aired in 1985. It was written and directed by John Hughes. The five main characters Andrew Clark, Brian Johnson, John Bender, Claire Standish and Allison Reynolds all meet for the first time in Saturday detention. The characters appear to be very different from each other and have different “labels” or stereotypes. Claire is “The Princess”, Andrew is “The Athlete”, John is “The Criminal”, Brian is “The Brain” and Allison is “The Basket case.” The movie starts out with the five high school students meeting each other for the first time in the library. Their principal, Richard Vernon, explains the rules of detention and expects them to write an essay while they are in detention. After he leaves, the fun begins.
