Anthony Michael Hall

stop themselves from getting to know other people and preventing great friendships and knowledge. The Breakfast Club shows that these people, who believe they are very different, are actually very similar. On one end of the spectrum we have Claire, the ‘princess’, who is stuck in detention for skipping class to go shopping and on the other end, we have John, the criminal, where being in detention was not out of the ordinary. In between, we have Brian the brain, the athletic Andrew, and Allison the ‘basket case’. These are five students, where in regular circumstances would not even acknowledge each other. Claire, in an important sequence of the movie, says as much by stating, “Oh, be honest, Andy... if Brian came walking up to you in the hall on Monday, what would you do? I mean picture this, you're there with all the sports.” John Hughes uses this scene to present just how important the high school class system is among students, with the fear of not fitting in with those ‘like them’, as Claire finishes her statement, “I know exactly what you'd do, you'd say hi to him and when he left you'd cut him all up so your friends wouldn't think you really liked him!” Detention for the Breakfast Club was one of the most important events in their high school career, because it taught them what a book or teacher cannot; that underneath, we’re all the same, despite who we try to be and what our ‘clique’ might be. Those eight hours in detention, showed these five students that they…

orphanage: Wendy McGuire, 8, Jeremy Nichols, 11, and Samuel Allard, 8.” I drop the newspaper. I don’t fuck with haunted orphanages. That might be the last thing I fuck with. I run out of the office but forget which way to go. My instinct tells me left so I take it. And then another left. I find my way to the spelling room, but something catches my eye. I look at the chalkboard that displayed roughly seven words last time I checked. The only word on the board now is “help”. I turn to sprint down…

The hallway is lit by a single light attached to the middle of the popcorn ceiling. There used to be two lights but one bulb flickered and died leaving the hallway dim. The popcorn ceiling is picked off and gone in some spots, mostly around the light and close to the walls. There are also a few tan stains that are darker around the edges and lighter almost white as they go in. The stains might be water stains from who ever lived in the house before. The flooring in the hallway is a worn dark…

“Basically, why are you here? I think.” I asked a final time, and Hugh took a closer look inside the cell at the man, his face rested against the bars. Hugh showed no fear. The man leapt up and took the notepad from the rock. He scurried to the puddle, fiddling for the pencil which lay submerged in the filthy water. I urged him to talk to me. “Ne!” he harked back at me, as best he could. His mood had changed. He pulled his hand away from the puddle clutching the pencil, and he scribbled…

exception. While the schools have many areas under control, the hallways at Highland and the cafeteria at Lacey are still an issue. By focusing on consistent adult interactions to uphold behavioral expectations, better hallway and cafeteria management will result for both Lacey Elementary and Highland High School. Student Characteristics, Issues, and Factors Most students at Highland and Lacey are very responsible. They know the expectations and act appropriately. While most would think…

quiet that comes with the snowfall when every living animal is hiding at home where it’s warm. The Dungeon looked like hell but felt like Heaven. This was one ritual that she didn’t understand the point of. There were many in her community, all of which had practical purposes. This one was one of the more ridiculous ones, sending children to this hallway and then not letting them out until they passed the criteria and were allowed back home. They had to wander these halls until the elders or…

I was walking with my friend to class when it happen. Before it happened, I noticed that I had seen no teachers or adults for that matter in the halls. When it happened, there was the sound of a large crash and the whole building shook like there was huge earthquake just under Badger. What happened? At first, I had no idea what happened until I looked out the window then I saw it. A huge glass dome had covered the entire school. Floods of students like moths to light ran outside to see what had…

Jemma Henley walked down the high school’s corridor and turned. After a short walk up the stairs, she was already out of breath. She looked down to see the small box protruding out of her chest that kept her heart rate normal. Walking wasn’t simple for kids like her. Her v-neck t-shirt showed just the top of a scar that ran down her chest. Sighing, she continued her long walk to her classroom. Jemma checked her watch and looked around. Although she had gotten out of class as quickly as…

the Hall of Fame is the highest individual achievement in baseball. Each player strives to have his career recognized as one of the best of his era. Unfortunately, the sport of baseball has had many players who are willing to cheat the game in order to achieve this prestigious honor. Recently, the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs have distorted both the records and individual statistics of the game. This era, known as the Steroid Era, has come to an end with recent improvements in drug…

Grendel, his mother, and the dragon each represent different conflicts and tribulations of character that plague the mead hall and Beowulf. The mead hall symbolizes the center of civilization. Heorot itself is allegorical for a holy place or church, where the community meets. This is another example of how Christianity overlays the Pagan elements of the story. In fact the two fit together and augment the significance in the sanctity of the drinking hall. Hrothgar, King of the Danes, had many…
