Storytelling Structure: The Cinderella Arc

• Context: Chris Do asks Adrien Behn about the ending and takeaway from her story where someone fainted in the audience due to its intensity.
• The Arc: Adrien explains that the most popular story structure, according to Kurt Vonnegut, is the "Cinderella" arc. It involves starting low, rising high, experiencing a deep fall (lower than the starting point), and ultimately finishing with a significant rise.
• Adrien's Story: She inadvertently used this structure in her story. It begins with insecurity and vulnerability, stemming from an emotional involvement with a much older man.
