Line 12:
* [[Boarding School]]: This trope originally died in the 1960s as private schools became seen as elite and snobbish, and their students cast as [[Slobs Versus Snobs|enemies rather than heroes]]. However, with the culture-wide impact of J.K Rowling's ''[[Harry Potter]]'' novels it has been rather dramatically revived.
* [[High Times Future]]:
* [[Rags to Riches]]: After fading away entirely by the end of the 19th Century, this trope has been pretty much rescued thanks to the advent of the lottery (the good kind, not the [[Lottery of Doom]]). There are countless [[Real Life]] examples such as [[Oprah Winfrey]] and "Dot Com" success stories that offer a [[Real Life]] [[Deconstruction]] and object lesson of sorts. Often though, there is a sour grapes [[An Aesop|Aesop]] at the end of modern versions of these tales. The newly wealthy person realizes that money has corrupted them and they give it all up to return to a simple life.
