Breakfast of Champions

Accommodation in Rome hotels or apartments Choosing an accommodation when you go abroad is much more than just choosing a place to sleep at night and wake up in the morning. Choosing the accommodation for your vacations or your business travels in a city like Rome is even more delicate: it means choosing a lifestyle. There are so many different things linked to staying in an hotel or in apartment here, even if the most important thing, you’re probably thinking, is the city in itself, which…

The movie The Breakfast Club may be just a film to some but to sociologists it can be looked at from interesting perspectives. Three main ones stand out specifically: Functionalism, Symbolic Interactionism, and Conflict Theory. Functionalism looks at the different parts of society and how they all depend on each other to make a society work. Next is Symbolic Interactionism, which focuses on how symbols and words shape people into who they are and how they depending on their interpretation on…

The Breakfast Club This movie is about a day of Saturday detention and group of teenagers fitting in your typical high school stereotypes. It was brilliantly written with teenagers in mind. They could identify with each character and their portrayed stereo type. They all had at least one thing in common and that was that they didn’t get along with their parents. This is realistic for who really got or gets along with their parents in high school. You are in the process of finding yourself and…

Malcolm’s car is not in the driveway. I hope his meeting with Lily had been copacetic. I don’t care to be alone, so I knock at Emese’s front door. “Hello, lovely to see you,” she says, and invites me into the foyer. “How are you?” “I’m not sure. It’s been a crazy day.” “There’s roast chicken with tarragon in the oven,” she says, “I’d love for you to join me for an early dinner.” “Thanks.” We walk into the kitchen. The smell of food comforts me. She nods for me to sit, and arranges…

Let's get one thing straight. We are not the Breakfast Club. We did not meet by chance, and we did not leave whether or not we would always be friends a mystery to those who were watching us. As far as I know, we will always be friends, and if we are not, I’ll always try to remember what made us, us. But in terms of the Breakfast Club, I believe we have helped each other quite a bit, and we all are extremely different. It was right before the summer, so the day was warm but also wet and…

Food companies like Kraft, General Mills and Coca-Cola all have one advantage which is targeting the youth through forty thousand commercials a year. For example, General Mill promotes multiple types of cereal like Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, and Trix but the concern with all these cereals is that that are a giant bowl of sugar. Nonetheless the way the product is placed in an aisle for a child from the age of five to twelve to see a box of Lucky Charms with a leprechaun next to a pot filled with…

ranking is being demonstrated through the use of symbolic, written, audio and technical film conventions. Andrew says, “ We’re all bizarre some of us are just better at hiding it”. This is the ultimate quote that bring together the main idea of The Breakfast Club that it doesn’t matter who you think you are, wether you think you’re superior to everyone or whether you feel like an outcast , you’re just as flawed as everyone else. There is no point…

“You see us as you want to see us… brain, athlete, basket-case, princess, and a criminal.” This is one of the first and last sentences of the movie The Breakfast Club directed by John Hughes, and it is the most powerful sentence of the entire movie. This is not a sentence about one of the students, it is a sentence about the principal. These words, written by a student during detention speaks volume about the entire dynamic of the school. The principal of Shermer High School is Mr. Richard…
