Job 1:21 "And said,
Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the
Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
Typical stories concern a
character who fights to get what she wants. At the end she is better off than
she was at the beginning.
We’re familiar with a rags
to riches story—a character or real life person who starts out with nothing and
becomes successful. The riches to rags story is less popular.
Job’s story is so familiar
that anytime we write, hear about, or experience a riches to rags tale, we
compare it or ourselves to Job. So if we want to write a riches to rags story,
we’ll need to keep that in mind and use our imaginations to find ways to make
the story original.
