And Filling it Up with a Little Bit More of Innocence...

(How I Met my Husband, Munro)

One of the major themes of this piece is the affects of childish innocence. The scene following Edie's tent visit displays an excellent source of innocence. The meaning and impact of what Edie and Chris shared is blown out of proportion as the olderwomen precieve that they shared more than just a kiss. As a result of Edie lacking knowledge of her actions, her status and title are disgraced and she is judged by all of the women. Lack of knowledge in young girls can cause far more damage than an misinturpruted kiss. The story of Atonement revolves around the impact of a young girl who causes great damage due to her innocence. This child causes the disconnection and end of her sister and her sister's love. This sad tale simply magnifys the impact of acting without proper knowledge. The following clip is the trailer for the movie Atonement.
