I feel that if Charlotte Temple were written today, the story would take a completely different turn. I believe that with all the technology that teens have at their finger tips Charlotte would have been able to more easily take herself out of the situation that she was in. I feel that she would be better connected with her over protective parents and that her meeting Montraville would have been noted online. With that being said, I also believe that the message of the story would be lost if it were written today. When it was written, people were used to not having the same means to contact each other. Families and friends could go for days, months, and sometimes even years without speaking together or knowing what was going on in each other's lives, while today, our friends and family have a play by play of what we are doing with the help of facebook status updates and text messaging.

I feel that in a modern Charlotte Temple, there would have been facebook/twitter/myspace updates of her meetings with Montraville as well as text messages. Also, with the help of cell phone gps systems, she would have been able to be tracked down more easily. Though there are many things that would change in a modern Charlotte Temple, the greatest change would be that of the theme. If all the technological advancements today were implemented, the end of the story would change completely and the moral would be lost.
