In "The Scarlet Letter" the red letter A
stands for, adultery, penance, and penitence. The letter A was seen in a lot of
ways in the novel. But the way that I have always heard that it was shown is
made out of bright red cloth. The woman that practiced adultery, penance,
and/or penitence had to wear it on their clothes so that everyone could see
that they done one of those things. They always got shunned by everyone if they
acted upon one of those "sins". This novel "The Scarlet Letter"
reminds me of the movie Easy A. Here is what Easy A is all about; In this
charming, critically acclaimed tale of rumors and reputation, Olive (Emma
Stone), an average high school student, sees her below-the-radar existence turn
around overnight once she decides to use the school's gossip grapevine to
advance her social standing. Now her classmates (Amanda Bynes, Aly Michalka)
are turning against her and the school board is becoming concerned, including
her favorite teacher (Thomas Haden Church) and the distracted guidance
counselor (Lisa Kudrow). With the support of her hilariously idiosyncratic
parents (Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson) and a little help from a long-time
crush (Penn Badgley), Olive attempts to take on her notorious new identity and
crush the rumor mill once and for all. I recommend that all of you at least watch the trailer to this movie so that you can see how it relates to the novel "The Scarlet Letter".
