Abstract
This paper takes a look at each individual character and their backgrounds in "The Breakfast Club". It examines how they communicate with one another and then finally analyzes their progression from a non-functional group to a working team.
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."

Abstract
This paper provides a review of the mid-Atlantic bed and breakfast industry through a survey of various bed and breakfast owners and a review of the success of bed and breakfast start-ups in the region. This review includes data on the general employment and unemployment rates in the mid-Atlantic region and a discussion of the reasons for displacement from the manufacturing industry. A review of the pros and cons of entering into a new bed and breakfast establishment, or entering into an established bed and breakfast, are then also presented. A short review of the skills and requirements that are necessary to run a successful bed and breakfast establishment is also presented. Finally, a discussion of the merits of entering into the trade is presented.
From the Paper
"We have also seen, however, through a telephone interview with a high-ranking official at the United States Bed and Breakfast Association, that the number of bed and breakfast establishments in the mid-Atlantic region decreased by over 25% in the previous four years, and that the main reason he could see for the failure of this number of businesses was a failure on the part of the owners to devote themselves, wholly and efficiently, to the setting up and day-to-day running of their bed and breakfast establishment."

From the Paper
"The human body reacts to a human sleep cycle. At the beginning of the cycle, a brain chemical called serotonin starts the cycle, and this leads to the production of the hormone called melatonin. Soon after melatonin is produced, deep sleep takes place for some 4-5 hours. During this time. hormone is active and helps to regenerate the body. The last 2-3 hours of sleep are much lighter, and this time involves the cycles of the sexual hormones, with cycles that are active about the time the individual is waking. To match these cycles, the individual should be sleeping for some 7-71/2 hours. If the individual gets less sleep than this, then he or she is limiting the time for recovering from the stresses of life, which can add additional stress to the body each day. Also, improper and inadequate sleep does not support the primary hormones active while asleep. Since these hormones are the chemical messengers of the body and are vital to health, improper sleep patterns stress hormones and does not contribute to health."

From the Paper
"In 1941, General Mills created the first oat-based RTE cereal, creating an interesting new alternative to traditional corn, wheat or barley cereals. From the beginning, not only was the product different, but the marketing was different as well. In an effort to create a unique brand identity for this new food, that was similar yet different than its predecessors, General Mills named its new creation CheeriOats, and a cute mascot, Cheeri O'Leary, was introduced in 1942. This mascot was not given a warm reception by the buying public, however. During World War II, Cheerios were successfully marketed with the tagline "CheeriOats: For Fighters on the Homefront". The product also gained wide acceptance during this time because many mothers had to enter the workforce and RTE cereal was an easy way to feed children well within a busy schedule and the absence of the father of the family.

"The Bed and Breakfast (B&B) operations are believed to have been the first form of accommodations available to travelers however, those establishments have historically been replaced by inns and hotels. The Bed & Breakfast (B&B) is however, making a comeback for travelers who prefer a "home-like" hospitality with breakfast served to begin the day. Because this business is making a comeback entering into this type of business is desirable however, requires an understanding of what makes the Bed & Breakfast operation marketable and thereby profitable. The origins of the Bed and Breakfast Inn is historic, based on the traditions of New England and Europe. Country inns, indigenous to New England, provided food and lodging to travelers and locals, and were often a focal point for a community."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that a surface level examination of 'The Graduate', directed by Mike Nichol, and 'The Breakfast Club', written and directed by John Hughes, may at first yield the idea that the films are vastly different in all aspects of comparison. However, the films, released in 1967 and 1983, respectively, share common underlying themes focusing on the need to rebel from society, the detachment from one's parents as one becomes an adult, and as social/societal alienation. The writer maintains that all of these themes can be summed up into one wide category dealing with the identity crisis faced by the collective youth of society. The writer concludes that, although 'The Breakfast Club' and 'The Graduate' are from different decades and have drastically different approaches, both deal with the identity crisis faced by the youth in the US to which people can relate to even to this day.
From the Paper
"In The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman plays Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate who returns home to a world of uncertainty and encounters a psychological crisis in the sense that he doesn't know who he is or what he wants. Benjamin's uncertainty about his future combined with societal expectations and parental pressures leads him to rebel from all of the forces that are constantly pressuring him. This rebellion comes in the form of an affair with Mrs. Robinson played by Anne Bancroft. Ben's rebellion comes from a feeling to conform to what he believes society wants him to be. I believe that when Ben started his affair with Mrs. Robinson, he felt that for the first time in his life he had actually done something that wasn't his parents idea and such action was liberating, if not also exciting to him. This is apparent due to the fact that Ben continued his rebellious actions with little concern for what was happening around him or for his future. His lackadaisical lifestyle consisted basically of two phases: lounging in the pool during the day and having sexual experiences with Mrs. Robinson each night; both phases having an underlying rebellious theme as well as a general lack of concern for the future or for societal expectations."
