Brian In The Breakfast Club
One character in The Breakfast Club that most relates to me is Brian. We both want to keep our grades as high as we can, yet I am not the kind of person to join after school clubs unlike Brian did. Brian is classified as a nerd and proves to be cared about by his family unlike some other people that he his serving detention with. I can relate to this, although I don’t really classify myself as a nerd even though some people may. I can visualize myself as this character as he acts almost exactly like me. We are both quiet and have some sort of intelligence (not saying that the other characters didn’t have any). What makes this character stand out to me is that he is the odd one out of the bunch, just like I usually am. He doesn’t even really

    From the moment you enter into Rick's Café Américain, the customers always seem to ask about the owner, Rick Blaine. Rick Blanie has very strong visual and verbal elements that relate to his character. He isolates himself by choice by choosing not to have a drink with customers. When we first meet Rick Blaine, we see he’s a serious and authoritative man, his expression dour as he drinks and plays chess alone. He’s the boss; nothing goes without Rick’s “ok”. As an authority figure, Rick doesn’t fear any other authority like Major Heinrich Strasser, the Nazi SS Officer who comes to Rick's Café Américain to catch a fugitive and at the same time question Rick about his past. He’s presented and reads a dossier composed by the Nazis, to which…

    American Psycho is one of the fiercest criticisms that an American writer has made of his own country: a complacent and self-indulgent society. For his argument, the author has chosen a risky path: Patrick Bateman, not a rebel or an outcast, Patrick is a young man of success, however, also capable of rape, torture and murder.…

    In the film, The Breakfast Club (1985), John Bender, the slovenly rebel at Shermer High School in Chicago, is serving a Saturday detention with four very different students. Right from the beginning, Bender exhibits the qualities of a destructive and thoughtless criminal, i.e., he taunts everyone else in order to hide his personal inadequacies. Whenever Bender is questioned by his peers about a personal issue, or whenever he cannot provide a clear answer to a question, he—albeit defensively— responds in a facetious and irritated manner. Bender demonstrated this when Andrew Clark, the "sporto", told him that he did not count, and that "if [he] disappeared forever it wouldn't make any difference." Distraught from Andrew's blunt comment, Bender sarcastically retorted, "Well, I'll just run right out and join the wrestling team..." As time goes on, Bender slowly sheds his rough attitude and starts opening up his true self to the other students.…

    In the novel, Diceyś Song out of the whole Tillerman family, the one character that I identify myself most with is Maybeth Tillerman. The reason for why I feel we are similar is because we are both shy. She does not open up very easily to people so it is hard for her to make friends; especially coming into a new school. From personal experience, I wasn't the most open up person coming into Weehawken High School eventually I became a lot more open with myself and with peers. I was quite shy and only knew one person. For both of us, we have a family and they are the only people that really understand you; they're the people that will always be there for you.…

    I am not alike this character in many ways. I don’t have any little brothers with disabilities, or little brothers at all. Nor do I want to suffocate them with a pillow. I’m not embarrassed of my brothers, for any type of reason. I don’t call my brothers names, so people don't expect much from them. I don’t think they’re a let down, they’re quite great, intelligent, and impressive people. Of course this character is a very round character, from the beginning to the end of the story the change quite a bit. I definitely relate to the character at the end of the story, but hardly at all in the beginning.…

    Anyone who has ever attended high school can instantly relate to the word “Bully”, whether its memories of being bullied by someone or being the bully yourself. Everyone knows to look out for him, but for the most part, once you have been picked to be the one being bullied, you might as well paint a bull’s-eye on your back. John Bender’s character does precisely that, he’s not exactly friendly with everyone else in the group, but his main target throughout the movie is Claire. The “popular girl” is John’s favorite target because of her lifestyle and upbringing, which reminds him of all the things that are wrong with his life. While picking on Claire, at times he shows some feelings for her but they are mixed in with his general angst towards her. Even with the anger and constant rude remarks towards Claire, John’s character finally “heals” to portray his real feelings towards her in the end.…

    The film “The Breakfast Club” directed by John Hughes is a compelling film that illustrates the inner working of the teenage mind-set. A film quite literally opens your eyes to how teenagers work within different stereotypes. John Hughes is able to show how although each character may give the impression that everything is “OK” but really, on the inside their whole life is just constant stress. This stress, which numerous things, including their parents and peers brought on, effected them in a way in which throughout the film, we as the audience have more insight into their lives as teenagers. Many of the characters in this film are easily relatable; however, Hughes has been able to show the differences within the inner workings of their…

    Have you ever found a character, maybe in a tv show, or book, that you can relate to the most (especially by a landslide)? Some people could say yes to the moon and back, while some people have never related that much to a character in their life. For me, I’m more of the former, and I found a character to relate to in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; Scout Finch. To explain, Scout and I take longer than others to understand things, which could cause frustration in others (mainly peers), and we’re both put under at least some pressure to be more “lady-like”. There’s other similarities too, but they’re either not as significant or I couldn’t find as much quotes to support them.…
