In the critically acclaimed movie, “The Breakfast Club,” there are five very different cast members, a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. One of the five cast members, the criminal named John Bender, can be described as a selfish, parsimonious douche. Throughout the whole movie, Bender was constantly bullying, making fun of, or agitating every student. He would bully Claire because of her less than stellar sex life, he made fun of Brian for being a nerd, he would agitate Andrew because he thought it was funny, and he bullied Allison for being an awkward spaz. By being such a dick, he made all of the students serving the detention with him, very upset and aroused.

The film The Breakfast club illustrates how a person’s identity can be influenced by conflict he or she has experienced. First, Claire Standish she gets everything she wants, her dad treats her like a princess and she can’t do anything on her own. For example , She skipped school to go shopping but her dad didn’t really care cause he used to all ways get her out of Sunday detention but this time he couldn’t. Everybody looked up to her like she was god because she was pretty and had popularity. Andrew Clark he can’t really think for himself because his dad was mainly running his life as if it was his because he wanted his son to be like him.

Jeannette, a middle sibling, is closer to younger brother Brian than her older sister Lori: Brian shares Jeannette 's love of the outdoors, while Lori is more a bookworm. As Jeannette matures, her feelings toward Dad and Mom change. She resents Dad 's drinking and how he constantly lets her and the rest of the family down yet never openly admits it or allows his flaws to be discussed. Jeannette also resents Mom 's refusal to hold down a job long enough to provide her kids with a stable food supply. These resentments make her more and more willful and independent. Eventually she scrapes

Her relationship with her dad reaches a conflict when she accuses him of taking her money from her and Lori’s piggy bank, and when he denies it, they get frustrated with him and the conditions they’re living in. Although they’ve had good experiences with their dad, the support given by him starts to deteriorate and they are desperate to turn it around. Because of this, Lori claims that she will never get out of Welch with Jeannette thinking that “..if Lori never got out of Welch, neither would I” (229). Another example of the tense relationship between her dad was when he brought up plans of “The Glass Castle” once more when Jeannette was set on going to New York City. Her dad tries to bring back the plans that she had been excited about early in her childhood, but she overcomes the previous joy she had and is now realistic about outcome of The Glass Castle, saying that it will probably never be built (238). Her relationship with her mother has also been changed, with Jeannette being more conscious about what her mom is doing as she settled later in life in New York City with Jeannette telling her mom that she wants to change her life and make it better. Her mom immediately rejects this and states that she is fine and that Jeannette is the one that needs help since her values are all confused, which conflicts the relationship between them as they both feel that the other has

From the tone of Mick’s voice, the alcohol acts a sedative to numb the pain from his past. This motive for drinking is also evident through Lisa’s brother, Jimmy, after he loses both his girlfriend, Adelaine, and his goal in becoming an Olympic swimmer. The legacy of residential school is also manifested in Trudy and Tab’s mother-daughter relationship. Tab becomes the victim of her mother’s psychological and emotional upheaval that is a result from her childhood. In the grip of alcohol, Trudy often mistreats Tab. Removed from a family environment and placed in a reformation school, individuals return not only emotionally and psychologically scarred, but also unable to reestablish their own functional family. Tab confesses to Lisa that she wishes she had a mother like hers, saying, “You’re lucky. You’re really lucky that your dad was too young to go to rez school. [...] Just Mick and my mum went and it fucked them up” (Robinson 254). Trudy’s sister Kate also notes that Trudy “thinks Mother’s dirt, while she goes out and parties and treats Tab worse than what she blames Mother for” (Robinson 285).

Take Claire’s popularity for example; when the day starts she seems content with her life and how she fits into the school’s social system. However, when the five of them are sitting up in the balcony and talking about themselves, she reveals that she hates her popularity. She hates the fact that she always goes along with what her friends say because she is afraid of losing them. Andrew also reveals a false belief about himself.

From here we can start seeing many bad choices and decisions Tracy commits: as lying to mother about tattoos and piercings, rejects old friends, misses classes, and even do drugs. These activities were greatly influenced by Evie, and how much Tracy wanted to be accepted in the group.

John bender is defined as a late maturing boy. He is classified as a late maturing boy because he has a very big attitude to both adults and peers. John is described and teased by his peers for being a freeloader, aggressive, and disrespectful person. He is at high risk for drugs, alcohol, and negative school performance. According to Steinberg, “although early and late matures exhibit similar psychological profiles before adolescents, during puberty and one year later, late matures show significantly higher rating on measure od intellectual curiosity, exploratory behavior, and social initiative” (Steinberg, 2017, p.31). This statement identifies John bender throughout the movie because, John is constantly curious about different things and was found in the vents throughout the high school and running around trying to avoid the principle while in detention. He also was taking high inititive throughout the peers that were in detention and making decisions on what they should do and what they shouldn’t do. There were multiple other charters that demonstrated both late and early maturation. There were also multiple characters that demonstrated cognitive advancement such as abstract, hypothetical, multidimensional, deductive reasoning, and relativism.
