Friday 3/13

Today, we completed the Howard's film, "Cinderella Man" and discussed the various elements of the Aarne - Thompson 510A plot.

heroine who is abused/mistreated and performs manual labor
1) Heroine: a young girl of low status who is ill-treated
2) She is forced to do menial service at home or abroad (labor/hard work)
3) She meets a prince or a prince becomes aware of her beauty (potential mate)
4) She is identified by her shoe (identifying object)
5) She marries the prince (marriage = high status) (happily ever after)
+) Transformation (rags to riches) this was our addition, not an ATU element

We will continue this discussion on Tuesday.
For your assignment, please continue your work on Project 2
