In 1818, when Fantine and her illegitimate daughter Cosette come across the inn, Fantine sees Éponine and Azelma playing outside. They are pampered and spoiled by their parents, the Thénardiers, who run an inn in Montfermeil, France. As children, Éponine and her younger sister Azelma are described as pretty, well-dressed, and charming. Éponine is born in 1815, the oldest child of the Thénardiers. The character is introduced as a spoiled and pampered child, but appears later in the novel as a ragged and impoverished teenager who speaks in the argot of the Parisian streets, while retaining vestiges of her former charm and innocence. Éponine Thénardier ( / ˌ ɛ p ə ˈ n iː n t ə ˌ n ɑːr d i ˈ eɪ/ French: ), also referred to as the " Jondrette girl", is a fictional character in the 1862 novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. While all this is happening, two of the teachers are getting on eachother’s nerves. I guess different productions of the play can give more or less emphasis to the potentially supernatural element here. One boy is crucified in the school’s chapel and a teacher gets a sudden desire to self harm, so there might well be something satanic going on. The consensus online seems to be that this violence is being caused by demonic possession, but this is never explicitly confirmed in the play. The students of an all boys Catholic school start committing acts of brutal violence against each other. Marasco was a teacher at the time he wrote this, and it shows. (He finished writing another one called Our Sally before he died, but the script has never been published as far as I can tell.) Child’s Play was well received though, and a movie version was made in 1972. It is the only play of Marasco’s that was ever produced. No, it doesn’t feature a doll named Chucky. Child’s Play, originally titled The Dark, was written several years before Burnt Offerings.

His sandy hair lay back smoothly but his short, graying mustache bristled. “Nearly got me that time,” said Colonel Donald Reid, calmly. He tried to bend the paper clip he was manhandling back into shape and it flicked out of his hand. Carter’s eyes were pouchy and the corners of his mouth sagged. General Alan Carter looked up glumly when the colonel walked in. The passenger didn’t look particularly striking or impressive, but at the moment, he was the most important man in the world. He glanced at the only other man in the large passenger cabin-napping for the moment, with his chin buried in his chest. The agent aboard knew that his part of the job wouldn’t be finished till the plane touched down and that the last hour would be the longest.

The author examines if the popularity of contemporary legends in the media has changed the form, role, and integrity of familiar legends. What Happens Next? Contemporary Urban Legends and Popular Culture traces the evolution of contemporary legends from the tradition of oral storytelling to the sharing of stories on the Internet and TV. What do ghost hunting, legend tripping, and legendary monsters have in common with email hoaxes, chain letters, and horror movies? In this follow-up to Libraries Unlimited's Tales, Rumors, and Gossip: Exploring Contemporary Folk Literature in Grades 7-12, author Gail de Vos revisits popular urban legends, and examines the impact of media-online, social, and broadcast-on their current iterations. This fascinating book uncovers the history behind urban legends and explains how the contemporary iterations of familiar fictional tales provide a window into the modern concerns-and digital advancements-of our society. "If American women couldn't laugh about the way we discuss rape in this culture, half of us would be sobbing constantly, while the other half, one can only assume, would be arming themselves for the revolution. Harding offers ideas and suggestions for how we, as a culture, can take rape much more seriously without compromising the rights of the accused. Combining in-depth research with practical knowledge, Asking for It makes the case that twenty-first-century America-where it's estimated that out of every 100 rapes only 5 result in felony convictions-supports rapists more effectively than victims. But what, exactly, is it? And how do we change it? In Asking for It, Kate Harding answers those questions in the same blunt, bullshit-free voice that has made her a powerhouse feminist blogger. "From Congressman Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" gaffe to the high school rapists of Steubenville, Ohio, to the furor at Vanderbilt, sexual violence has been so prominent in recent years that the feminist term "rape culture" has finally entered the mainstream. Her rebellion will take her, finally, to the mad prince’s palace, for the decadent –and sinister-masked ball.
