1) The document profiles 5 characters - Claire Standish, John Bender, Andrew Clark, Allison Reynolds, and Brian Johnson - based on first impressions from their stereotypes in a high school setting. 2) It notes that though the characters were initially distant, over the course of their detention period they started to understand and support each other more. 3) They all have very different personalities but share the common goal of trying to fit into the social world of high school.

1. DELOS SANTOS, CARMELA N.

2. First Impressions:
Do they last?

3. Claire Standish
Claire Standish
The miss goody two-shoes, miss prim and proper. The one that acts
good but wants to do bad things. The prom queen, the princess. If
ever, a mean girl. Cares a lot about her social status.

4. John Bender
He’s the bad boy that does
bad things and acts badass
because he’s hurt or it’s the
only thing he knows to keep
other people out. But really,
he’s in search of
someone/something that can
understand him.

5. Andrew Clark
I first thought of him
as the kid that follows
everything his parents
say and is afraid of
disappointing them

6. Allison Reynolds
The weird girl nobody wants to be with. The one
who has too many feelings. Someone who wants
to interact with people but is scared of them at
the same time.

7. Brian Johnson
He’s the typical nerd high school movies have, the difference is that he’s witty and funny and can be
awesome to be around with. Unlike other nerds in movies that are mean and sarcastic.

8. They were very distant to each other.
The only thing that makes them stay together is their detention
teacher. With every passing minute, they’re getting into each
other’s skin. But even if they are fighting, they stuck up to each
other’s back.
They have very different personalities. They have one
thing in common though: they’re all trying really hard to
fit in the high school world.
