Who Is Ferris Bueller?

To start, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” occurs around main title character Ferris Bueller; he has an uncanny ability of skipping classes with no consequences. Intending to make one last skip day before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day journey through the streets of Chicago with his best friend Cameron, and girlfriend Sloane. On Ferris' trail is high school principal Rooney, determined to catch him in the act.

The lesson begins with the Teacher using a remote to click through a series of scenes taking place between the Jumper and Good Samaritan, with the plot not turning out as one would expect. The first scene shown lacks conflict and does not allow for further plot; therefore the Teacher explains that this is not satisfying to the audience. The second scene also lacks conflict, by resolving too quickly, and the third scene is absurd with both characters using unnecessarily foul language that does not appeal to any kind of viewer. As the Teacher clicks through several more poorly constructed scenes the other two characters come to life and revolt which causes the Teacher to lose control. The true comedic events ensue when the Teacher battles with the other characters in order to regain control over the play. Surprisingly the Teacher is the one who becomes the victim to death, thereby creating an example of a well written play.

Last but not least, Ponyboy faces the society’s impression of the greasers. Everybody thinks that they are hoods and that nothing good can come out of them. The greasers are judged strongly because of their economic status and face judgment from everyone. Nobody cares to understand their life and what experience on a daily basis. He also finds out when he was in Windrixville, that people don’t judge them like they do in their city. The whole conflict of the story is the Greasers and the Socs. The characters in the story have gone about their own ways to at least try to fix the problem. Many chose fighting and violence in general, but Ponyboy choose to write a book for a writing assignment. He discovers that there is no difference between them

The three friends (Ferris, Sloane and Cameron) all skip school and have an amazing time while their friends and classmates are stuck in school, exploring the great city of Chicago. As they carry on with their plan, they eventually run into some issues that were handled later by the end of the movie. Ferris being a very gutsy kid, pushed everything he did to the limit and beyond. Surprisingly, he got away with everything, at some point in the movie it felt like even God did not want him

, we learn about major life lessons important for teens to learn about, all through the help of the characters in the book. Firstly, we learn that life is tough trying to make it on your own on the streets and if you ask for help, you could have a better life. For example, Dylan is reluctant to go to the drop in centre or the education building for help (48) but when he does, he gets food, good advice and a

Two characters that will be examined from the film include Andrew Clark (played Emilio Estevez) and Richard Vernon (portrayed by Paul Gleason). The setting of the film takes place on a Saturday at a suburban Chicago high school. The students are arriving for a special session of detention that will take place all day. In the beginning, everyone is sticking with their traditional stereotypes that were formed from other perceptions (based upon the social group they belonged to). As the day progresses, everybody begins to realize that they are more than these commonly held views. Instead, each person has their own special skills and talents that make them unique. Moreover, all the students and adults are wrestling with similar challenges at

In the movie, the principle asks the students to each write a 1,000 word essay on who they

There are five main characters in The Breakfast Club. Claire, played by Molly Ringwald, is the rich snob of the group. She is characterized as being very self-centered and conceited. She is in detention because she skipped classes to go shopping one afternoon. Claire puts on a façade that she has a great familial and social life, but in actuality, she is upset with her family and unsure about her friends. The bully of the group is John (Bender), who is played by actor Judd Nelson. Bender is a person who has a lot of issues with himself, which he masquerades with a tough guy exterior, dry humor and sarcasm. Bender ended up in detention because he set off a fire alarm. Another member of The Breakfast Club is Andrew, played by actor Emilio Estevez. Andrew is the jock of the group and on the surface it seems that he is only concerned with pleasing his father and coaches by winning. In actuality, Andrew has a lot of anger and resentment towards his father, coach and himself, because of the person he is becoming. Because he pulled a cruel prank on a classmate, he has ended up in detention. Allison, played by Ally Sheedy, is the emotional basket case of the group. Though she does not speak for the first half of the film, when she finally does start talking, she does not stop. Throughout her conversations in the movie, Allison is covering up her true self, with the lies and embellishments

During the course of the school year, Charlie has his first date and his first kiss, he deals with bullies, he experiments with drugs and drinking, and he makes friends, loses them, and gains them back. Sam and Patrick smoke very often. Charlie likes Sam a lot but she begins to date an older boy named Craig, until she learns he has been cheating on her the whole time.

His partner, Brad, is a closeted homosexual that has to abuse drugs

Anyone who has ever been a high school student can probably find some way to relate to the characters in the film. The movie revolves around 5 students who for various reasons have been sent to Saturday detention by principle Vernon. The principle asks each of the students to write a one-page paper on who they think they are. As the day progresses, we see the teens begin to bond with each other and find out about each other and themselves.

Since Ferris is a senior in high school, which suggests that he is appropriately eighteen years old. Adolescents from age eighteen to twenty-five years old can be considered as emerging adulthood (Berger, 2015), so Ferris is an emerging adult. His psychological development can be explained by Erikson. Erikson developed eight developmental stages, while 18 years old Ferris will fall under the “Identify vs. Role confusion” stage. In this stage, adolescents want to find out their identity by answering the question “who am I?” Most of the adolescents will find their identification in sexual, political, religious, and vocational aspects; however, there are also adolescents will confuse about their identities. (Berger, 2015). Since Ferris is a well-loved student and he is really confident about every problem he faces. For example, he fakes himself as the Sausage King of Chicago, he does not feel frightened by the manager; instead, he insists the original thought, which allows him to enter the fancy restaurant. Certainly, Ferris knows who he is, and he also has a clear view of the future goal. Even though he skipped classes for nine times, he knew that he is going to college and over the summer he is going to find a job. There is no clear identification of what his occupations in the movie; however, Ferris has a

Ferris Bueller’s personality explains why he is a hero in the movie. Through his outward charm he charms everyone except his sister when she said “Yeah, right. Dry that one out and you can fertilize the lawn” and Rooney who told Ferris’ mother, “That’s probably because he wasn’t sick. He was skipping school. Wake up and smell the coffee, Mrs. Bueller. It is a fool’s paradise. He is just leading you down the primrose path” who can notice it. Through this, his interactions with others are rarely based with engaging with anyone genuinely. He manipulates people for his own benefit with what he understands about them. He says “the key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It is a good, non-specific symptom”.

Eventually, Mary Elizabeth forgives him. It is about time for Sam, Patrick, and his sister to graduate and for his favorite teacher to leave. Charlie starts to wonder how he will cope with the loss of his friends yet again. Then, he learns of the hidden horrors of his childhood and becomes indisposed with the knowledge of his molestation. Charlie is sent to a hospital where he gets help in rediscovering who he is. Following his release, Charlie is much better at creating relationships and is more hopeful for the

Charlie’s friends even take advantage of how nice he is. They always make him the root of their jokes. When Charlie asks a barber shop owner to move his illegally parked car, the owner laughs at him and just throws him the keys to the car and tells him to move it himself. The whole town takes advantage of Charlie though, not only his friends. In the supermarket a woman asks to cut in front of him inline and then ends up having a cart full of groceries. This is Charlies breaking point. He starts tensing up, you can tell something is happening. All of a sudden he starts talking in a different voice, and finds vagaclean in the woman’s cart that cut in front of him. So to take his anger out on her he gets on the store microphone and announces she has vagaclean in her cart. We learn this new personalities name when he is drowning a young girl in the water fountain who disobeyed him earlier. When the girl says she is going to tell her father on him, he announces that he is Hank. After this change in personality he starts going
