The Breakfast Club

ACT I – Ordinary World

Andrew Clark, Brian Johnson, John Bender, Claire Standish and Allison Reynolds are 5 high school students who have Saturday detention in their school library with Vice Principle Richard Vernon. They are all from different backgrounds and stereotypes, they all have their own problems to deal with and are always picking on each other

ACT II – Valley of darkness

This is where the characters get to know each other a little better, their problems and their sensitive sides, Bender has a go at everyone and their problems because his life is so difficult he takes them out on others, Allison doesn’t talk at all, she sits in the back, quietly with her head down, Brian attempts to write is 1,000 word essay that Vernon has given them for the day, Claire talks to Andrew about her troubles at home.

ACT III – The kingdom of evil

Bender decides to get ‘weed’ from his locker while Vernon is away from his desk, but they need to get back quickly before Vernon returns, although there are confusions about  which way is faster, Bender of course knows the school and ways to get around it, while Andrew thinks that they should go through the activities hall, which of course is locked on a weekend, they get stuck there and one needs to sacrifice themselves to Vernon, Bender makes a lot of racket running up and down  to get caught so the others can get back safely.

ACT IV – Return to the Valley of darkness

 They put their difference’s aside, sit down and talk about why they are in a Saturday detention. Claire skipped class so she could go shopping, Andrew bullied a member of his wrestling team, John pulled the fire alarm, Brian brought a gun to school so he could get rid of his terrible project which would get him a B (He has never gotten under an A) and Allison didn’t have anything better to do. They dance, let loose, have fun. Claire gives Allison a makeover from her “Emo” make-up into a “girl”. Through one day, Claire and Bender put their differences aside and start dating, as do Andrew and Allison, Brian finishes the paper, loves what he wrote – they have him narrate it at the end.

My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;  

If we are mark'd to die, we are enow  

To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour. 

God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.


The key idea: Honor. The more honor if we win, but if we die, we still have honored our country.

King Henry V is making his speech before his battle with France after his cousin pointed out that the men were 1-5. During this speech he uses the tools of comparison and contrast. If the Englishmen wanted to fight and be remembered they would have come forth when given the chance, instead they would rather be in the safety in there own beds as they have no honor for their country.  If we are to die on this day, let us die, Gods will was set for us on this day, why would we try and change that, he has given us this many men to fight with – we shall be grateful for what we’ve been given.  

During lines 1 through 6, Henry makes his speech on how

Lines 1-6 of Henry's Saint Crispians Day Speech, he speaks of honor, and pride, that if god had intended for them to die, they must, they shall. they don't need anyone else to fight this battle. he never says that they will win this battle, but that they will fight it. the more that would fight, the less honor they could keep.

A moment of silence

Last Thursday at the Jay Sean, Ludacris and Flo Rida concert, there was supposed to be a moment of silence for something to do with the cricket, but no one could hear over the craziness of the crowd no one heard what the Cricket man was saying and ignored him, so for a whole minute, he stood there, on stage, face down, silent, while the crowed was screaming. 

Dr. Martens pics

Are these the boots for you? In 1945 Dr. Klaus had a skiing accident while in the Bavarian Alps, during the healing process of his foot, Dr. Marten designed an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires he constructed soled that had air trapped within closed compartments. He then showed his engineering friend Dr. Herbert Funck and together they decided to start creating shoes. Not only did the shoes help to fix Martens foot, but they started to sell incredibly well in Germany, which is when they realized they needed a factory if they wanted to keep selling and producing. At first, most manufacturers rejected this idea, who would want to sell a faulty shoe? Although, the R.Griggs group located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with a revolutionary sole. The first Cherry red work boot was created on the first of april 1960 and was named 1460 (1/4/1960). When they were created Dr. Martens were named “Dr. Martens” but to sell the product better to the British population, they named it “Dr. Martens.” 

Why should we? During this time in Britain, the teenager was only just born and was starting to differ from children and adults. Children starting to rebel against the rules and they’re parents creating a whole new definition for that age group. This is also when a new group of stereotypes came to place, including the rebels and the skinheads. Doc Martens were a huge thing in the rebel culture they meant a whole new thing to the rebels than they did to the working class. To the working class they were good reliable boots, while to the rebels they meant a symbol of freedom, rebellion. This picture is a classical example of the rebellious teen type, spikes and doc martens creates the perfect rebel image.

Black and white or Technicolor? Doc Martens started off as boots for the working class, Policemen, mailman, factory workers – the real working class of the 60’s. Then when the rebels started to take them on they were classified as a new type of shoe – Their shoe. But in the 80’s girls started wearing them, they wore them with dresses, jeans, skirts – they turned doc martens from being a warning sign to a fashion trend. Dr. Martens shoes have become very popular over a range of subcultures since they moved to England. In the 1960’s they were worn by mods and then got picked up by punks, goths and metal cutures in the 1970’s.

Doc Martensis widely recognized as referring to shoes made by a company called Dr. Martens. This company grew out the invention of air-soled boots created by Dr. Klaus Maertens. The boot’s official birth date is considered to be 1 April 1960. Dr. Klaus Maertens is often described as an innovative and creative man. He is the designer of a pair of boots that gave rise to a company which has been widely recognized for decades. Although the company’s name, Dr. Martens, does not provide an indication, credit is also given to an English family bearing the name Grigg. This family believed in Dr. Maertens' product, acquired rights to produce it, and did so on a mass scale in England. This greatly increased the popularity of Dr. Maertens' invention. The first style of boots marketed by this brand is known as the 1460. They were eight eyelet work boots suited for various industries. Since they offered both comfort and durability, they grew in popularity among the working class. This included policemen, postal workers, and factory workers.

The air soles were only one of the trademarks of Doc Martens® boots. Another was bright yellow stitching around the soles. The boots also left a unique footprint. Working class people were not the only group to admire the boots. In the 1960s and 1970s the boots were widely favored and purchased by subculture groups such as skinheads, punks, and Goths. For some groups, the boots served as something like a trademark. This trend carried on for decades and the original design of 1460 is still popular among some groups.

For many people, the name Doc Martens® conjures the classic 1460. As time passed, however, Doc Martens® expanded to refer to a wide range of newer styles for men and women. The options of boots became much more diverse. The offerings also grew to include casual and dress shoes.

Want some hair on that head? During the 80’s skinheads became very popular throughout Britain, they took on a similar style to rebels although as the name indicates, they either shaved off all their hair or made themselves look like they had a dead squirrel on their heads (Like Mats, M5). The rebels also used doc martens as a way of communicating, although they said, “fuck off” the colour of their shoe laces would tell a story, White laces meant hating cops and power,  Red laces meant that you were always up for a fight, Blue meant that you wouldn’t want to “fuck” with him and yellow laces meant that you have killed a cop. During the 60’s when Doc martens were at their height of popularity you weren’t aloud to wear white laces unless you wanted to be pulled up by the cops. Pete townsing from ‘The Who’, wore doc martens to his gigs in the 70’s and he knew, that by wearing doc martens he was showing a power that he could not hold.

Authentic Doc Martens come with a lifetime guarantee. This means that if he chose to, a person could keep a pair of these shoes for the rest of his life. This is possible because the company promises to always repair or replace them. Beginning as a comfort shoe made by an injured doctor, Dr. Martens have been popular with various subcultures for nearly 50 years. Initially available as red work boots, the variety available has expanded greatly and continues to be popular.

Doc. Martens First paragraph

Ain't No April Fool. While Dr. Martens are known as a distinctly British boot, the original doctor was German. Dr. Klaus Maertens invented the shoe's signature air-cushioned sole with the hope of improving Germany's standard-issue WW II army boot. Maertens sold his patent to a British shoe manufacturer in 1959. One year later, on April 1, 1960, after the addition the classic yellow stitching and trademark AirWair tag to the back of the boot, the first pair of Dr. Martens hit High Street. The cherry-red, eight-eyelet boot became a fast favorite of blue collar Brits, adorning the feet of factory workers, postmen and police officers.

DAY TWO: LIGHTHOUSE HILL

Walking down Commercial Street, the beggars, the shops, and the side streets – India. It’s a beautiful place when you search and find the beautiful things, but when you just walk on by, you see what India has become, what Indians have become – beggars, liars, thief’s. Take cheap DVD’s for instant, they are filmed at the cinema’s, burned onto cheap DVD material, and sold to the public for a third of what they usually would be; Just as Xerox does with his books. I would have been shocked if I did not live in India about the Lawyer and the policeman breaking Xerox’s legs. I was disgusted at what they had done, and still believe that they had no right to do it, they may have been upset about him selling a banned book, but the law did not give them the right to break his legs, instead of getting drunk and being complete idiots, they could have stayed sober and taken him to a higher authority, or even addressed the books on what to do. My favorite part of this chapter was when Xerox came back on his crutches, with his daughter and broken legs and stood up to the policemen by saying that he was going to climb that hill, that he was going to get back up there with his daughter and sell him books, no matter what the law thought/said about him. He wanted his father to be proud of him, a man who could not read, selling books; Ironic. 

“DAY ONE (AFTERNOON): THE BUNDER”

Corruption is the main theme in this “chapter” it is seen everywhere in India although we never really talk about it, I really like the line in the book “Corruption,” Abbasi said. “Corruption. It’s like a demon sitting on my brain and eating it with a fork and knife.”

“The Bunder” reminded me of all the crazy silly things that Indians do that we don’t necessarily need but want: Fine patchwork, Jewelry making, Painting, Cleaning, Teaching, Pot making etc. To live in India has helped me to picture these stories a lot more than if I was still a snobby little kid from Australia. I wouldn’t have believed that any of these things were true and that everything was fair and equal, which we know, it is not. Driving home at night past the teahouses in Bangalore, you see men sitting around like Abbasi and his friends, with there tiny little white plastic cups filled with milky tea. Although when reading this “chapter” it reminded me of walking through my old street in Australia although when I thought about it deeply, Indian streets and the image I had in my mind, were completely different. Although I have not been to Kittur so I cannot completely imagine the town layout. I sometimes stand out on my roof as Abbasi did and look out at the view, how far I can see, the trees, the people, and the planes the cars, the noise. Sometimes I just sit up there and listen to everything that’s going on.  

“DAY ONE: THE TRAIN STATION,”

“DAY ONE: THE TRAIN STATION,”

The first time I picked up this book to read it, I thought I would hate it although after I read the first 2 pages I couldn’t put it down, it astonished me how much this book relates to my time in India, the fighting between the Hindu’s and Muslims, the packed train stations and bickering with Zia and his customers at the train station. Last year there was a protest between the Muslims and Hindu’s about who should own the temple that was on Hindu’s land although one of the great Muslim gods was born there, we were not aloud out of the house because of all the violence between them. You see a lot of Muslim/Hindu areas when walking through the streets of Bangalore. Although many seem to get along a lot more in the real world then they do in the book. He described the streets of India very well, the coolies bathing at the station in public – every morning I walk out my front door to see the street children bathing out the front of my gate, it is a bad thing to see but we can do nothing about it as this is not our home, we are just foreigners visiting for a few years. The trust between the Pathan and Zia is something that Zia has always been looking for, like a father/son relationship. He does not only work for the Pathan, but the Pathan is teaching him the way of the world although Zia does not seem to realize this and throws the chances of learning back into the Pathans face. Although the question has been answered, we know there is still something stronger than “they want to get rid of the Muslims”. Everyday the Pathan had Zia check the trains for: How many there were, who was in them and whether or not they had red markings on the back. On my drive to school each morning I go past the Indian Air force, last year there was a few weeks that they were looking for new recruits although when they said they were hiring they didn’t expect so many people to show up, there was a line about 20km down the road, some had blankets so they could stay the night to save their spot others just stood there, or just casually just driving to town or home behind a truck full of soldiers it amazes me how many people they can fit into one of those trucks. My favorite part in “The Train Station” Would be when the Pathan and Zia sit down to have a samosa and tea, how proud and happy Zia was of being a pathan and having money to buy his food with. Without being called a theft – the children in the slums around my house are always being shooed away from the shops and being called thefts or they are chased out when I get there, because I am white and the shop keeper thinks that I will leave if there are ratty little kids in his shop. 

Definition on Catharsis

A catharsis is an emotional release. According to psychoanalytic theory, this emotional release is linked to a need to release unconscious conflicts. For example, experiencing stress over a work-related situation may cause feelings of frustration and tension. Rather than vent these feelings inappropriately, the individual may instead release these feelings in another way, such as through physical activity or another stress relieving activity.
