             Elle's dilemma grows more complex when her heart becomes set on attending Harvard Law School to become the kind of woman Warner would want to marry. She must figure out how she will get accepted, so she takes the necessary steps to solving the problem in a very systematic and logical manner, as young adults are expected to do.

It also gave her the chance to meet lots of new people that would eventually make her more mature, more confident, stronger and smarter. .

The film also points out that young adulthood facilitates further value clarification, while helping individuals realize how to take control of their lives at the same time, as proposed by Roger Gould. .
             Throughout the course of the movie, the audience was able to see Elle change into a more mature young adult.
