Comparing YA to other shows
Okay, so I was watching The O.C. the other day and thought there is actually quite a close resemblance between The O.C.'s premise and that of YA. They both entail a kid from the 'wrong side of the tracks' who gets thrown into a fancy rich world.
To me, Ryan is sort of like Will because they're both quite smart, and they both fall in love with a rich girl who'd grown up in the 'rich world' their whole life. I also think the character of Theresa is interesting because she reminds me of Bella - a girl that grew up in the not-so-rich neighbourhood with Will/Ryan, and a potential romantic interest.
So that prompts me to ask if anyone else wants to talk about shows or movies that can be linked to YA thematically? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]
