1) My principle claim in Paper 3 will be arguing that the pressures of being thin in Hollywood has led to many cases of celebrity anorexia. I will be evaluating the many instances of (mainly female) celebrities who have had/or have an eating disorder. There are no specific criteria I will be using, but I will be including celebrities who have overcome these types of disorders and those who are speculated of having one. I want the audience to realize the reality and severity of this issue and how relevant it is to today’s society.
2) I would like my argument to appear in a magazine geared toward teenage girls, such as Teen Vogue or Seventeen Magazine.
3) I would assume that the audience that is relevant to these types of magazines would be teenage girls around the age of 14-18, who care about trends and celebrities. I think this issue is well-known and often talked about but not in a way that groups these celebrities together. Usually when we hear about celebrity eating disorders, we hear about one case at a time. I would like to blend a few of these cases together to get my point across.
4)Hopefully, I will be able to come across as savvy and credible by seeming knowledgeable about the issue and being close to the target demographic itself.
5)I found an article that discusses Nicole Riche having an eating disorder. In this article is discusses how she developed an eating disorder after feeling the pressures to be thin. This fits the criteria because she is a celebrity who felt that she had to be thin in order to survive in that industry.
6)In my paper I will use popular celebrities as evidence. This sort of evidence would likely convince my audience because they will see this argument as relevant to them and today’s society.
7)I’m still trying to figure out exactly how I will introduce my evidence. I think I am going to list facts of eating disorders found among teenage girls across the nation. Secondly, I will introduce the different celebrities I have selected in order to support why and how the media affects them to be thin. Third, I plan on tying the two ideas together by arguing that media has a direct effect on teenage eating disorders.
8)My argument seems very apparent in today’s society and I think it is a very well known issue. I would hope to have enough support and evidence to support my argument.
