...THE BREAKFAST CLUB Overview According to the movie, “The Breakfast Club”, it began on Saturday morning at the Shermer High School where five high school students from different social groups met for a detention of eight hours. They were asked to each write an essay by their principal Mr. Vernon on the topic “who do you think you are?” Mr. Vernon only saw them as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal (“The breakfast club,” n.d., para., 4). They saw themselves like what they had been stereotyped to be by the principal and also by the outer world. But at the end of the day it was not the case. During the morning period of the detention, they did not talk much to each other. But as the day went by, they ague and hated each other, believing that each of them were completely different and unique in the problems and tribulations they faced. As the movie unfolds, they open themselves to each other as they shared their deepest fear, emotions, and problems. They become friends irrespective of their cliques as they exploited their physical cognitive and sociology-emotional levels of development the (‘The breakfast club, 1985”). Narrative The movie begins on a Saturday morning at about seven o’clock. Their parents drop them off at school and they all meet up in the library. Then Mr. Vernon comes in and congratulates them for being early. As Mr. Vernon paused, Claire quickly puts up her hand, stands up, and tells Mr. Vernon that she knows it is detention but she...

...paper, you should give a brief description of the character. Then, you should answer the following: o Identify the diagnosis that you would make of the character. • You should back up your diagnosis with the relevant symptoms displayed by the character (in other words, explain why did you make the diagnosis that you did). Refer to the movie to illustrate the symptoms that the character demonstrates. • Discuss all the possible symptoms of the disorder; does the client show all the possible symptoms, or only some of the possible symptoms of the disorder? • In some cases, the character may be lying, and does not really have a disorder. For example, the person may be faking the disorder to avoid prosecution for a crime. If you feel that the character does not really have a disorder, what makes you think that the person is lying?

...ANOTHER EVENING AT THE CLUB By: Alifa Rifaat In the state of tension, she awaited the return of her husband. At a loss to predict what would happen between them, she moved herself back and forth in the rocking chair on the wide wooden verandah that ran along the bank and occupied part of the river itself, its supports being fixed in the river bed, while around it grew grasses and reeds. As though to banish her apprehension, she passed her fingers across her hair. The specters of the eucalyptus trees ranged along the garden fence rocked before her gaze, with white egrets slumbering on their high branches like huge white flowers among the thin leaves. The crescent moon behind the eastern mountains and the peaks of the gentle stirring waves glistened in its feeble rays, intermingled with threads of light leaking from the houses of Manfalout scattered along the opposite bank. The colored bulbs fixed to the trees in the garden of the club at the far end of the town stood out against the surrounding darkness. Somewhere over there her husband now sat, most likely engrossed in a game of chess. It was only few years ago that she first laid her eyes on him at her father's house, meeting his gaze that weighed up her beauty and priced it before offering the dowry. She had noted his eyes ranging over her as she presented him with the coffee in the Japanese cups that were kept safely locked away in the cupboard for important guests. Her mother had herself laid them out on the silver-plated...

..."Nowadays, a balanced diet is when every McNugget weighs the same." (Harvey Kurtzman, 1983). Do you think the majority of people are really aware of what they eat? In fact, ask yourself if you think you are in good shape or not. It is expected that your honest answer will disclose that you do not know your own body- or what you put in it, too well. Many people might even give some excuses, like “It says `low fat` on the box!” It is important to catch these marketing techniques targeting the unaware or ignorant. It is vital to understand the true meaning of proper nutrition as well as its importance and benefits. What many individuals in the U.A.E. are not aware of is the effects junk food has on their health. Are all marketed “healthy” foods really healthy? The purpose of this research paper is to enlighten the reader of the nutritional lifestyles of people in the United Arab Emirates as well as to explain the negative effects of globalization and its link to the importance of knowledge regarding basic nutrition. In contrast to the past, the U.A.E. is currently facing various negative effects of globalization, especially regarding the expansion of fast-food chains. By way of contrast, there are undoubtedly many positive effects as well. Yet, many believe the negative effects overflow the positive ones. Most professions in the Emirates usually start off at 6 am and continue to late hours in the night Consequently, people are therefore very reliant on food for energy and...

..." Topic * India Cricket A Test match lasts five days and, if it goes the distance, 2,700 legal deliveries are bowled through that period. In one-day internationals (ODIs), it is 600 balls, and in Twenty20 (T20) the number is 240. If someone could get a cricketer to fix just five or six balls in a match, they could collect huge gambling profits without anyone noticing. And the possibilities for fixes are almost endless. Before the match Bets are taken on predicting the playing squad, and fixers have allegedly prevailed upon players to pull out minutes before the start of a game. The toss comes next, and, in the past, a corrupt captain could fix even that, by quickly picking up the coin and congratulating the opposing captain on his "winning" the toss. Bets can also be placed on who will open the batting and from which ends, and on who is going to bowl the first over. Such decisions are somewhat random and therefore fixes are hard to detect. During the match Punters can wager on any event and on every ball. Examples: how many runs a batsman will score; if he will hit the next ball for a six, four, single or simply pat it back to the bowler; the mode of his dismissal; which bowler is going to get him out; or when a bowler will deliver a no-ball or wide. "The odds of a batsman getting out hit-wicket are as high as 80 to one," a Mumbai bookmaker said. "So imagine the money to be made if a punter or bookmaker could convince a batsman to get out in that mode." The same...

I knew it had to be hard because most women loved the idea of a man with muscles and well I had spent time in prison building my body up and even now that I’m out, I still maintained it. I moved out the way to let her in and I closed the door behind her and locked it. “I’m sorry, I came over so early. I thought that I would bring you and RJ some Resch’s on my way into work.” “You do realize that you passed where you work to come here?” “I don’t mind. You bring me breakfast and lunch all the time, I thought that I would return to the favor” she said as she looked around the house to see the lights were mainly still off, “did I wake you up?” “Not at all, I had been up for at least ten minutes before you knocked. I hadn’t even brushed my teeth yet” I said with a yawn. “I’m sorry. I can run so that you can get yourself together.” “That’s okay you’re already here” I said. “You sure?” It didn’t make sense for me to say it again but I understand that she needed some more confirmation. Women, I thought to myself. They always needed confirmation in so many things in life. Why couldn’t they just accept the first answer that was given to them was something...

There have been many changes, additions, and improvements during this time. Adventurer Ministry has shown huge growth as well. Youngsters in this age group are full of energy and get excited about being a part of an organization that is designed to expand their view of their world and strengthen their relationship with God, Mom, and Dad through ways that are so much fun. The roof over Adventurer Ministry is supported by several strong pillars. You hold in your hands one of them: the latest updated manual covering all 83 currently accepted Awards for use around the world. There is of course, one small problem: This area of Adventurer fun is not a static field of possibilities, it is a constantly growing—maybe almost exploding—source of activity. Therefore even at the time of this edition’s printing, there are already more Awards being...
