Dear Mr.Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice the whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are.
You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions.
But what we found out is that each one of us is
a brain,
and an athlete,
and an basketcase,
a princess,
and a criminal.
Does that answer your question?
That's the way we saw each other at Seven o'clock this morning.
We were Brainwashed.
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club.
