Bandura & Rotter, Molly Ringwald Character from Breakfast Club The reinforcement for Clair’s behavior was mainly dependent on the approval she received from her popular peer group. She has a notion that she needs to be “popular” or approved in order to be seen as better in her school.

Pretty in Pink, Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club, and last but not least, Molly Ringwald, the star of my two most favorite 80’s movies, Pretty in Pink, and Sixteen Candles. In 1978, Molly was chosen to play Kate in the movie Annie. She then started turning toward motion pictures and got nominated for a Golden Globe award for her role in the 1982 film The Tempest. She then stared in her major motion picture Sixteen Candles. Ringwald then appeared in multiple 80’s films including The Breakfast Club, Pretty
the issues of teens, but their main focus is to be an entertaining story. They do not compare to the impact “The Breakfast Club” had, even though many of the same actors starred in these other films as well. Some may find it hard to believe that Ringwald and Hall were still in high school when they filmed this movie, while the other three “teen” actors were in their 20’s. The movie has five main characters that play five different, but common teenage personalities. “A brain” Brian Ralph Johnson
Of all the 1980’s films, that can be described as “Eighties Teen Movies” (Thorburn, 1998) or “High School Movies” (Messner, 1998), those written and (with the exception of “Pretty In Pink” (1986) and “Some Kind of Wonderful”(1987)) directed by John Hughes were often seen to define the genre, even leading to the tag “John Hughes rites de passage movies” as a genre definition used in 1990s popular culture (such as in “Wayne’s World 2” (1994 dir. Stephen Surjik)). This term refers to the half dozen

The Breakfast Club (John Hughes, 1985) is a film in which focuses on the stereotypes of teenagers within high school and the difficulties that are faced during this period of their lives. The film is based on a group of five young adults who have never met before, and are in Saturday detentions for varied reasons.

The “Stand Your Ground” law initially indicates that individuals can use force to defend themselves without first attempting to retreat from danger.

John Hughes: Style and Substance John Hughes and the New Teen Films The late John Hughes is one of the most famous screenwriters, directors, and producers of the last fifty years. Many of John Hughes's most well-known films are his teen films, such as The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. In the 1980s, John Hughes was setting a new trend for the way teenagers are depicted onscreen. He managed to subvert the sensationalized portrayals of teenagers and teenage life that dominated the screen in
glasses were surgically inset, sealing her sockets. The silver lenses seemed to grow from smooth pale skin above her cheekbones...” (Gibson 24) The eyes are said to be windows to the soul. Many emotions and states of mind are conveyed by the eyes. Molly, however, does not relinquish this power of perception to others. “The lenses were empty quicksilver, regarding him with an insect calm.” (Gibson 30) The mirrored sunglasses mask key characteristics of Molly’s identity (emotions).

thought into it, I decided to invite three people: Jesse Berst, Molly Masland, and Julia Walker. Now these three people aren’t just any three people. They all have something in common; they know about about online shopping. They are all some type of reporter and have written articles about online shopping. Jesse Berst is and he did a report called "Online Shopping, The Safe Way;" which teaches some great tips on how to shop carefully. Molly Masland is also a reporter and her story/article was called
Series on Intellectual Property Controversies It might not have been how I originally wanted to spend my Saturday night, but then again if I hadn’t of gone it would have been extremely difficult to write this paper. I attended Molly Kleinman’s lecture about copyright and how it’s linked to libraries. So there I was with my pen and note book ready to take notes for later use. She first started out just talking about the purpose of copyright. From there she gave two different points of views on
The Character of Molly Bloom in Ulysses In James Joyce's Ulysses, the character of Molly Bloom appears significantly only twice in the entire span of the novel. She appears for the first time in the episode "Calypso," then we do not hear from her again until the very end, in her own words, in "Penelope." Yet in these two instances, Joyce paints a very affectionate, lighthearted and humorous portrait of Molly Bloom -- perhaps not a complete rendition, but a substantial one, with enough colors

mother, unknowingly, made our situation worse. She went to visit her best friend, Molly, who was a fellow animal lover and member of the Lincoln County Humane Society. Molly would occasionally invite our family over for dinner, and we always went, never suspecting her underlying scheme to rid herself of annoying and potentially dangerous pets. She had collected these animals through the years from abusive families. Molly was quite a character. It was amazing how she could manipulate a conversation
Sexuality and Linguistic Versatility in Ulysses In order to discuss the relations between sexuality and linguistic versatility I have chosen the two female characters, Molly and Gerty. The major reason for this is because the female voice in Ulysses is heard at length on only two occasions but I would argue is very important. So important in fact, that Joyce chooses to conclude the novel with Molly’s monologue. I hope to convey some of the contrasts and similarities in these differing monologues
Rubyfruit Jungle has not been looked at in academic circles simply because it is a novel about a lesbian who feels no shame or guilt about her sexuality is only part of the problem, it is not the only reason why Brown's first novel is not discussed. While Molly Bolt is a lesbian and proud of it, other lesbians are not so proud of her and what she stands for. Rubyfruit ... ... middle of paper ... ...unity that is still often ignored in literature. Could it be that one must wait until the next millennium
