From the Paper:

"Communication can be expressed in many forms between all sorts and types of people. "The Breakfast Club"(1985, Hughes) is a great movie that displays numberous types of communication between five high school students. All five students are in the library for Saturday detension, all for different reasons, and each student is very different from the next. The five pupils in the library are almost a representative from each clique in the high school. There was the brain Brian Johson, the criminal John Bender, the athlete Andrew Clark, the princess Clare, and the basket case Alicen, they all differ greatly from eachother which creates a unique atmosphere for communication between them. One can see the development of the communication through out the day, as it starts off with non-verbal communication then moves toward to interpersonal then intrapersonal communication and soon progresses into a functional group that understands and accepts one another."
