Although he’s a popular kid and is best friends with Eric Hunter, one of the most popular kids in school, Landon is aided by issues at home, most noticeably the absence of his father in his life. Set in the 1950’s, the story revolves around Landon Carter, a 17-year-old high school senior. In such rigid confines where interaction is rare, how would it look like if one popular kid starts to fall in love with the unpopular kid? These two categories remain so far-fetched from each other that a mere interaction between them could spark monumental conversations. The hierarchy may differ circumstantially but essentially, they share one common element: the extremely popular and the extremely unpopular kids. However, it isn’t so contemporary at all, as this embedded hierarchy has existed for decades now. Contemporary high school is inherently hierarchical in nature.
