Essay 1: "Hell is a Teenage Girl"The sub-genre of horror that focuses on possession narratives often centers on the female body. Discuss how the line "hell is a teenage girl" from Jennifer's Body applies to both Reagan--who is approaching teenagehood--from The Exorcist and Jennifer the "hot girl" from Jennifer's Body. How is the teenage girl's body "hell," culturally and metaphorically? What issues and problems does it bring up, and why? Feel free to bring in any historical references that might be relevant. Use plenty of examples from the book and film to support your argument. At least two scholarly outside resources from the library's databases are required; please cite these (and the film and novel) on your Works Cited page.
MLA Formatting required; 4-6 pages
