Please write a response of at least three typed, double-spaced pages in which you explore the impact Olive’s presence has on the other characters.  Please begin this response paper by describing, in your own words, the overall story-line and purpose of the movie.  Olive is clearly the fulcrum on which the film sits; she is the reason the others are on their way to Redondo Beach. Please examine the way that Olive’s character relates to and affects the others. What do you think she means to the film as a whole?  Be sure to include reference to specific scenes or sequences.
