Sincerely yours... The Breakfast Club

Andy the jock, Brian the brain, Bender the criminal, Claire the princess, and Allison the basket case are all sent to Saturday detention. At 7 a.m. they would not even think about talking to one another; but by 4 p.m. they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends. Each from a different clique gathers in the High school library. Although they are all different they are more alike than they think. They spend the day arguing, breaking the rules, sharing secrets, and becoming friends. From the famous dancing scene, to the brilliant secret sharing scene The Breakfast Club will always be a favorite among the generations still to come.  After spending a day in detention they all found out that each one of them is indeed a Brain, and an Athlete, and a Basket Case, a Princess, and a Criminal.
