    With its "animatronics" technology, Jim Henson's 1982 film, The Dark Crystal, in both form and theme depicts key elements of David Leeming's description of the hero myth's rites of passage in The World of Myth: An Anthology. As in Leeming's rites of passage, in this film the protagonist's heroic experiences lead him to "wholeness" and "full individuation" (220). At the formal level, by concealing puppet strings, providing puppets with exceptionally life-like and fluid motions, and creating convincingly vital puppets, Henson's detail-rich and realistic animatronics technology allows his puppet-hero, Jen, to grow both beyond his filmic father figure, urSu, as well as beyond the confining puppet strings of the traditional puppet master. Thematically, too, Jen experiences the rites of "[being] born when . . . needed" (218), of being "call[ed] to adventure" (219), and of being faced with trials and danger (219), that Leeming discusses as making up the passage into individuation.…

    The light appeared out of the darkness. Neon lights from Tony´s diner across the street were flickering. It was a freezing winter night in the suburbs of New York and every now and again you could hear the homeless wondering about singing Christmas jingles with a troubled voice. Robert Pierce was sitting in his old, dull apartment. He stood glaring out of his only window in front of his desk. He was stuck with his endless writing. Writing was a skill Robert picked up after World War Two, from having suffered an injury in the line of combat. There was not much for him to do because of the condition his legs were in. Writing was also something he enjoyed as a child and seemed as the best option when he migrated to the U.S. When he gets stuck his mind wonders. He usually stares out of his window and observes the street carefully. But there was something else that grabbed his attention that night. There it was again, that bus across the…

    “The Stones” is a flash fiction by Richard Shelton. This story takes place in the reader’s mind as he or she imagines a presence in the desert. Here, one is supposed to watch the stones grow. These stones are the young stones. The ones that don’t grow here are the old stones.

Having achieved great success with students in his local suburban North Carolina hometown, Clark believes that he can do much more good outside of his small home town, so he moves to New York City, hoping to teach underprivileged grade-schoolers there. But being Caucasian is a drawback in Harlem and none of the New York City public schools will hire him. Destiny intervenes one day when he observes a teacher getting rough with a student who is trying to leave campus. The teacher fights with the school's principal and quits. With a job vacancy right on the spot, Clark instantly made his availability and capability known to Principle Turner of Inner Harlem Grade School only to be declined at first, but was finally given a chance.
