I watched the movie‚ Joy Luck Club‚ featuring the American and Chinese cultures. The story started with a farewell party that was held for June as she was going to China to visit her two sisters. During the party‚ her 3 aunts shared their stories. The first story was about her June’s mother and her. The second story was about Auntie Lindo and Waverly.

In The Breakfast Club‚ there is an overwhelming idea of the future. The students only think about one week in advance before their Saturday detention. They never thought about what their actions could do to their future. For example‚ Brian did not seem to grasp that because he was so ready to kill himself over one failed assignment.
