The Breakfast Club Andy Character Analysis
Recently, we watched the movie, The Breakfast Club. The character I chose to write about is Andy. Andy is a wrestler. He wins a lot because of the patch on his jacket. The patch said state champion. He is the athlete of the story and the jock. He bullied other people below him because they weren’t as good as him.

Andy stood up for the others in the beginning of the movie. John was picking on Claire and he stopped him. He stood up for others in the beginning of the movie. Towards the middle of the movie he just does nothing about the people being picked on. It’s almost like Andy and John were friends for part of the movie.

Andy was a bully to some of the nerds because he told the story of putting tape on the kid. The kid’s name was Larry.

All of us, no matter if we are a jock, or a brain, someone who succeeds in education, or someone who wants so badly to get out, face barriers in our lives. Some of us come from broken families, some us of come from abusive situations, but all of us have a unique and individual story. At the heart of this story are the struggles we have experienced, the people we have associated ourselves with, and the lessons we have learnt along the way.

    Andy Griffith Show Analysis

    As she is trying to figure out who sent it, Andy says, “You know how you can find out? Open it.” She disregards him and continues to speculate on who wrote the letter. In this scene Andy is standing over her and in her space. She is oblivious to him. The next scene with same problem has Floyd Lawson sitting down and talking about the weather with Andy. Andy then quotes Mark Twain, “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” Confused, Floyd mistakes the quote by thinking it was from Calvin Coolidge. Andy then talks to Floyd like a child. The last scene is with Roger Hanover, Roger wants to show Andy how to fix a cord, but fails. Andy gives him a look. In those three scenes, Andy is seen as right compared to the other three characters. It is almost like these instances could have been solved with common sense, but the older people could not figure it out and needed help from someone…

    Tears of A Tiger

    When one thinks of a tiger, they normally think of a strong and courageous animal. On the other hand, Andy is the complete opposite. Andy is a weak and cowardice human being. During the novel, Monty shows Andy a picture he drew. In this picture there was a tiger and he had put tears on it. The tiger in this picture is metaphorically representing Andy. Monty said, “Well I drew a picture last week at school, and the teacher wanted to know why I put tears on my tiger. I told her he was sad. Like you get sometimes” (125). As seen from this quote, Monty knew how Andy actually felt. Everyone else in Hazelwood believed that Andy was doing well and improving. Andy was in great depression and only Monty knew that. After Andy committed suicide all of Andy`s pupils called him a coward for killing himself. On page 173, Gerald states, “You`re a coward and a sellout!”; Gerald had his own problems and thought Andy was selfish for killing himself. Although, these people did not know what Andy was going through, he had felt very guilty and was depressed all of the time.…
