Blog Entry 6: Cinderella is one of the so-called “rise tales”, which features a narrative arc of “rags to riches through magic and marriage.” Using the fairy tales and the films “Pretty Woman” and "Cinderalla by Disney" as an example, write a reflection on this motif. Can someone reach success or riches with magic, marriage, charm, etc.? How realistic is that? Blog is due by Sunday, March 10.
