Assignment:

Give a feedback including describing, concentrating and suggesting on the proposed idea of -

I am choosing option #2 and writing about a friend who suffered from an eating disorder, which greatly and negatively affected her body image, self esteem, social life, physical abilities, and more. I wanted to choose this option because I felt that it goes beyond writing about how media impacts women's health and would show the intimate outcomes and give the reader a more personal and real experience/understanding of women's health and how it can happen to anyone, seen or unseen.

-I'm planning on picking a date this week to interview my friend-thankfully she has already agreed to it. I'm debating what my thesis will be depending on what responses I get, but based on my understanding of the readings, I have a pretty solid set of questions and a general direction I want to take. I want to focus on,

a. What were the aspects that caused her eating disorder,

b. What kind of disorder she had (what was her day to day), and

c. how she is recovering now-what were some motives/resources that helped push her to want to get better. I also want to look into resources for women suffering from an eating disorder, as well as resources for general health for women before it gets worse.

While I'm still brainstorming what my thesis will be, I want my main goal to be to encourage women to take priority in their health daily, be aware of resources, and share to both men and women of all types backgrounds that health in all forms is serious and we should create/participate in things that move us towards a longer, happier, and healthier life. As for my research, last semester I actually worked with a team of women to make blog about eating disorders, so I might look back at what articles/statistics I found then as well as psychological/brain development using biological journal articles/health related websites and published organizations using specific keywords/ patterns from my interview(a key source would be boolean which was a suggestion I received on the feedback forum).

-How might I naturally incorporate my friend's story alongside my scholarly articles (for example: how can I insert quotes or findings from my research in the middle of writing about my friend's story-where would it be appropriate)?
