Mona Lisa Smile Day #2

Comment on a decision made by a character that reflects or revokes a value from the 1950s.

Betty is a character that made a decision during the movie today that revokes a value form the typical 1950's. Betty gets married while attending school and that is something that most young women were looking forward to in the 1950's. Although Betty got married, it is kind of a "fake" marriage. Her husband doesn't seem very nice to Betty and involved in the whole situation and Betty is somewhat upset due to this. Betty is kind of known as the troublemaker/rebel in the movie and she wants to make an example of herself to the other students as well as Ms. Watson (in a mean way). Being the first character to get married in the movie it shows just how much she wanted this and it shows how young women thought in the 1950's.
