However, his life soon changes when a religious fanatic (Marriane) eavesdrops and that Olive misleads Rhiannon, her best friend, about losing her virginity, Marrianne quickly tells her boyfriend Micah and the lies spread to the entire school population. Hester Prynne's" in "Scarlet Letter", a character she studies at school until she chooses to use the rumor to improve her social and financial situation. Throughout her studies, Olive succeeds to preserve a good reputation until rumors start spreading, attracting his unwanted attention. His reputation diminishes when Brandon, who wants to end his misery of being bullied at school because. he is gay, asks her to pretend they slept together to fool his co-workers into thinking he is straight. She reluctantly joins, however, but the meeting puts her in the spotlight among the student population. Meanwhile, Marriane and her supporters decided they wanted her in school. Noticing that she couldn't escape the rumors, Olive is determined to play along with the lifestyle she is given, including wearing tight clothing with the letter "A" which stands for adultery. Olive later resolves all her problems, confesses her lies, and finds love with the school mascot, Woodchuck Todd, her love interest who disregards the gossip. The first concept evident in the film is that of stereotype and according to Plotnik Kouyoumdijian, (2008) states that stereotypes are widely held beliefs that have certain traits because they belong to a particular group. The stereotypes are often inaccurate and frequently published in the middle of the paper about what really happened and announced that it is no one's business if she loses her virginity or not. She then texts her friend Rhiannon to apologize for lying to her. Without her mother, she might not have had the courage to confess the whole situation to the school population. ConclusionOlive has been confronted with several rumors which have grown disproportionately large. In trying to survive the rumors, she loses her good reputation, her best friend Rhiannon, and attracts unwanted attention from the entire school population. It relates to life in many different ways and teaches us to always be honest, despite how we may feel about a situation. Even though there were a lot of falls, I liked how she gained the strength to rise above the situation. BibliographyPlotnik, R. (2002). Introduction to psychology (6th ed.).
