Over View of Easy A

In the movie Easy A there are different stereotypes and counter types portrayed throughout. This film is different from the typical teenage films because it doesn't necessarily have the obvious stereotypes. You have to think about the stereotypes and how it is created. For example, Olive Penderghast who becomes the center of attention in the high school from rumors spreading around the school about her sleeping with people. These rumors are not true because of Olive being a caring person and looking out for the others who wanted to become noticed. Another stereotype that is portrayed in this movie is the 'christians'. The christians of the school are very judgmental on everyone else's actions, such as believing all the rumors about Olive they torment her in saying she's a whore going to hell. A countertype example from the movie that is used is played by a character called Brandon. He is the typical gay guy of the school. But cleverly the director Will Gluck, has not made him an obvious gay guy because he blends into the crowd with what he is wearing. (jeans and t shirts like all the other boys in the movie)

This image is and example of what Olive's outfits would look like through the movie when she went to school. She added an 'A'(adultery)to all of her clothes, to portray that she easy and she wants everybody to know it too.    

This video is an example of Olive being a 'slut' counter type in the movie when really her character isn't really that.
