Identify myths in contemporary media
The OC can be applied to the first myth “Wisdom of the rustic”.
1.) Summarize the plot lines (or the relevant elements) of the popular culture text you're analyzing.
The O.C. - also known as Orange County, California - a wealthy, community where everything and everyone appears to be perfect. 'The O.C.' tells the story of the Cohen, Cooper, and Nichol families, and Ryan Atwood, a troubled teen from the wrong side of the tracks, who is thrust into this world, and who will forever change the lives of the residents of The O.C.
2.) Briefly summarize the myth(s) you'll be applying,
-Wisdom of the rustic is the myth that is about a person that might learn from another person that might be lower than the person that was taught. Even though the rustic person might not be the most educated or well looked at person, but they teach the higher up person.
3.) and then make clear connections to the popular culture text that you're analyzing.
-I believe that in The OC Ryan is the rustic person. When he comes into everyone’s lives everyone is changed. Even though a lot of drama is caused, Ryan being the person he is truly what everyone living in the OC needed in their lives.
