Eating Disorders In Winter Girls

252 Words2 Pages

A book that impacted my life and has made who I am today is Winter Girls. Winter Girls is about two teenage girls who struggle with horrible eating disorders. The protagonist goes through a lot throughout the book like meeting cruel people, the lost of her best friend starts to haunt her, and even family troubles start to rise because of her eating disorder. This book starts off very light hearted, but the more you read the darker things get and you truly get to see what this mental illness does to you. I really got an inside look on this mental illness because of the thought process and actions of the main character. It makes you realize really what is going through the head of someone who is struggling with anorexia and/or bulimia. When

    The stories have a major impact on my life in unexpected ways. When asked to consider what story affected me the most during my semester in Composition II, I would have to say Karen Russell’s “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves”. Like so many stories I read this semester, the first time I read the story my understanding of the message was completely different from the subsequent times. I believe a mark of a talented writer is for their stories to spur discussion. Russell describes various stages the wolf girls’ transition through during their stay at St. Lucy’s Home for Girls.

    823 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are many different opinions regarding eating disorders whether they are genetic, ethnic, cultural problems, or a culturally reactive problem. Stereotypes from the past believe that white middle class adolescents have the most related problems to eating disorders because of their anglo-saxon cultural backgrounds. Research has shown that imagery of the ideal Western body has had a chain reaction of body shape and eating habit conflict between all ethnicities, cultures, and sexes. The issue between the two viewpoints is whether the problems associated with eating disorders is cultural or culturally reactive.

  • Analysis Of The Globalization Of Eating Disorders By Susan Bordo

    1391 Words  | 6 Pages

    In “The Globalization of Eating Disorders”, written by Susan Bordo in 2003, the author declares that eating and body disorders have increased rapidly throughout the entire globe. Susan Bordo, attended Carleton University as well as the State University of New York, is a modern feminist philosopher who is very well known for her contributions to the field of cultural studies, especially in ‘body studies’ which grants her the credibility to discuss this rising global issue (www.wikipedia.org, 2015). She was correspondingly a professor of English and Women Studies at the University of Kentucky which gives her the authority to write this article. “The Globalization of Eating Disorders” is written as a preface to her Pulitzer Price-nominated book “Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body” which was similarly written in 2003. Through the use of many logical arguments and evidence, Bordo successfully manages to convince her audience that the media, body images and culture have severely influenced the ‘so-called’ trending standard of beauty and how it leads to eating disorders across the world.

    I feel like this is because most of the movies or books I have seen about mental illness have not been focused on BPD. This disorder has not been learned in class yet, but after reading about BPD in the DSM-5, I believe that the portrayal of the disorder is accurate. Although, I feel like this film is more about mental illness in general and the experiences that come with it rather than just focusing on Susanna’s specific illness. The film had strengths and weaknesses on how it portrayed the different experiences of those with mental illness. Some strengths the movie had on mental illness portrayal include society’s view on mental illness, a good depiction of the thoughts, and the wide spectrum of mental health.
