What is the meaning of the Rags to Riches Story?

Rags to riches is about going from pure potential and raw talent to competence in the world. An overlooked and neglected hero who gets a little fairy godmother or genie magic that propels them to the top, only to lose it when the clock strikes midnight. They then have to climb back up without the help of supernatural aid, and when they finally reach the top, they have learned the lessons necessary to become competent rulers.

They are my favourite types of movies along with "physical transformation" movies like: Beauty & the Beast, Howl's Moving Castle, The Princess & the Frog, Shrek, Red Shoes & The 7 Dwarves. Thank you for posting this articulate yet straightforward analysis 💚 It got to me and I think I like them both equally because they hold bits and pieces of my own story. I hope I can reach a point where I can reach my potential and be a mentor as well.

[@justinsmorningcoffee]

Thanks for watching, DL. I would love to hear what you think about the series. I’m hoping that this study will help people engage with narrative on a deeper level.

These little summaries are great.

[@justinsmorningcoffee]

Thanks Isaac. Yeah I figure I’ll eventually do a short for each of the seven plots. It helps me internalize the pattern in my mind as well.

[@isaacphoenix9200]

@Justin Wells I get that. Each video feels like it goes soother cause you've partly done it. This short does a great job of hitting the main plot points and important aspects that make each story important and psychological.
