The Breakfast Club
1. Claire, the princess is stereotyped as materialistic, caring for how others see her, comes from a good family, conceited, doesn’t break the rules. The jock, Andrew, can’t think for himself, athletic (Wrestling), lives to expectations of his dad. The brain Ryan, involved in math club, physics club, gets good grades, innocent, weak against bullies. The basket case comes from a bad family therefore she wants to run away. She is also ignored because of her weird habits, she’s quiet, and has bad hygiene. Bender, the bully is sarcastic, careless, bad family, likes to challenge authority (teachers and his dad), constantly angry, does drugs and makes every one feel like they're insignificant.

4. According to the film, it doesn't seem hard. Everyone just had to break out of their comfort zone in order to develop from his or her stereotypical selves.

This is because I’d like to have high grades because the pressures of graduating and getting into post-secondary are high this year. In modern society, I don’t think these stereotypes are as prominent as they used to be. This is because people tend to have characteristics of more than one, for example someone can be smart and be athletic at the same time. I think that the stereotypes can form a base around the world. For example, there are bullies, nerds,
