As we enter this pod, I think it’s a good time to connect my blog to the reading. I’ve been waiting to do a movie-to-book with this novel. I’m very excited to read The Scarlet Letter mostly because not too long ago I saw the movie Easy A. It’s like this movie was trying to do a modern day version. I haven’t read The Scarlet Letter so I can’t say for sure.

  The movie is about a girl who is accused of being someone who sleeps around. She has a friend that has the image of a girl that sleeps around. In the beginning of the story the character is a normal every day teenager going to high school. Then one day her and her friend were talking and her friend accuses her of sleeping with someone and then the story snowballs. Lie after lie until at the end everything come out into the open. The sex that wasn't happening and reasons she lied. I’m interested in seeing how the counselor in the movie (the one that is promoting abstinence but is really the corrupt one) will play out in the book. Maybe there was more they were copying then just the A on the main characters clothes that marked her status. Anyone that has seen the movie have any guesses how this might turn out?
