Todorov’s narrative theory applied to Easy A

• Equilibrium (All as it should be. What happens normally) Olive is going to her school normally with her best friend, but olive is one of the girls that never gets notice.
• Disruption of the equilibrium- Olive’s best friends wants her to come camping with her but, Olive doesn't like her parents so she makes a lie, because of her lie she has to create another lie and another lie to cover up the first one, which creates a rumour that goes round the whole school.
• Recognition- Olive recognises that she has become the talk of the school, and to show everyone and to annoy her best friend she dresses like a tart.
•  Attempt to repair the disruption- Olive makes a live video chat telling everyone, what actually happened, saying sorry and why she did it.
• New equilibrium- She gets the boy that she has always wanted, and he life goes back to normal. 

Acting on feedback: 

From the equilibrium stage I expect that the film is showing the audience what normally goes on with a day to day basis. For example mine is that I wake up and go to school then come home and do homework. This stage is setting the scene from the audience. If you put the disruption of the equilibrium first then the audience would get confused because the disruption will look like a normal thing that would happen in this movie. The features in this are that you meet the characters and what their normal life is, normally you meet the protagonist.

From the disruption of the equilibrium I expect a problem that will happen which will ruin the characters normal day to day life. For example that the school catches on fire which means that there will be no more school and not going to school anymore is the disruption because it is a problem. The features in this section are; you meet the antagonist and the action that goes with it.

From the attempt to repair the disruption I expect that the disruption/ the problem are fixed. For example the fire fighters will stop the fire and the builders will fix anything that has been ruined, here the problem has been fixed. The features in this area are; the protagonist defeats the antagonist and saves the heroine.  

Lastly from the new equilibrium I expect that the characters will go back to their normal, however the problem may have made new changes to their normal life. For example from the fire I could of met someone and fell in love as a result my new equilibrium is that I go back to school and now I have a boy friend.  The features in this are that normally the protagonist ends up with the heroine.
