"Easy A" commentary

I can't whether I like the movie "Easy A" or not. Olive is an amazing character, she is bright, cool, kind, charismatic, and has a quick sense of humor. I love her lines where she makes jokes, quick sense of humor, puns, sarcasm (but sarcasm in a good way), intellectual jokes that bring in teenagers, and jokes related to media and books. If I were in her situation I probably would not keep the rumor going. Realistically I would just cower in the corner and dwell on to how horrible my situation would be... until I eventually got depressed... again. Olive, unlike other people took the liberty to stand strong and go with the crowd rather than retaliate. She made jokes about it, and spiced up her image. Honestly I don't know why she did it. I don't know if she held this reputation for the money, to get back at Rhianan (her best friend), to annoy Mary-Anne, to get attention, or to just entertain herself with a wild life. Personally I would not want rumors going around that I was sleeping around, it didn't seem that Olive wanted that either. Olive did not start this on a whim, events happened leading up to this and as I said before, she did not retaliate, rather embraced it. I guess a person in high school is less likely to be picked apart if they stay strong, keep going, don't be afraid of holding their head high and showing their face, rather than let others get to them. Olive acted proud, which is how I wish I had stood in high school to face my big rumor life. Not only did Olive hold her head high but she also laughed about everything, made funny puns, and loved herself for who she was. Furthermore, Olive had integrity. She stayed strong and never once doubted herself while she was doing this until the end, I would have never been able to do that. I can't say though that I would like to be like Olive... I would not want to spread rumors about myself that I slept around, which is one of the reasons why I partly didn't like the movie... because Olive took the liberty to spread rumors about her pretend sex life and embraced it. If the movie had the same plot line, except for the rumor being about sex, with the wonderful character (Olive) in it I would have loved it even more.
