Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on The Breakfast Club. It needs to be at least 1000 words.
This paper describes the movie and its characters in the light of various researches and studies done in the field. Puberty or adolescence refers to the years of rapid physical growth and sexual maturation that end childhood, eventually producing a person of adult size, shape, and sexual potential. The forces of puberty are unleashed by a cascade of hormones that produce external signs and such internal changes such as heightened emotions and sexual desires that many adolescents experience. The process normally starts between ages 8 and 14 (Berger, 407). During this time, an adolescent is in a frame of mind of discovery. Discovery begins with the body and the child’s sexuality. In this, the child recognises the primary and secondary sex characteristics that he or she develops. The body characteristics that are directly related to fertility are called the primary sex characteristics which involve growth of the ovaries and uterus in females, and of the penis and testes in males. The bodily features such as body shape where males tends to grow taller than females and become wider at the shoulders, while girls develop breasts and a wider pelvis are included among the secondary sex characteristics (Berger, 422). These sex characteristics that develop in both the sexes encourage experimentation with oneself as also with the opposite gender. It results in activities such as fantasizing, flirting, hand-holding, staring, displaying, and touching which are all done in particular ways to reflect gender, availability and culture (Berger, 423). Those involved in relationships may also lose their virginity in the act of exploring. In the year 2007, 50 percent of boys and 46 percent of girls from among U.S. eleventh graders were reported to have had sexual intercourse (Berger, 424). This topic is also being discussed in the movie when Bender interrogates Claire about her losing her virginity. Based on one’s peer group, it may a cool or a not-so-cool thing to lose one’s virginity. In Claire’s case, her peer group found it cool and hence she was not bold enough to confess she was a virgin to the other four in the detention. Same is the case with Brian. The way an adolescent thinks is different from other stages in his or her life. In adolescence, a child tends to ask questions like who am I, where am I going in life etc. According to Erik Erikson, a famous psychologist and psychoanalyst, this is the fifth stage in psychosocial development known as ‘Fidelity’. This is a battle between identity and role confusion more commonly known as the ‘Identity Crisis’. In the movie, Richard Vernon, the principal of Shermer High, tries to fix this most common problem in adolescents by asking the students who have been given detention to write an essay about who they are. However, during the course of the day whilst sharing their life experiences and their problems with each other, each of them realise what their identity was at that point of time and it is beautifully described by Bender towards the end of the movie where he leaves a note for the principal, in which he writes that ‘each one of us is a brain (Brian), and an athlete (Andy), and a basket case (Ally), a princess (Claire) and a criminal (Bender)’. Identity crisis can be solved if the parents give enough room for the child to explore themselves about life rather than flood them with their own opinions and views. It is important for the parents not to over guide their children in which case
