My third project is about the eating disorders bulimia and anorexia. I believe eating disorders like these aren't as talked about as obesity. People believe it's the person's choice to stop eating. Once they start an eating disorder, it becomes addicting. It's shamed upon, but the shame can be too harsh and the victim can go into the hiding, which makes the eating disorder harder to diagnose.
English
I was inspired by medical drama shows to make my english piece. I browsed through different programs to make my own medical drama. I found a screenplay template for my rough copy of the drama. |
The rough Draft:
|
I after my rough copy, I talked to Mr. Wimmer about my project. He then recommended my the website Celtx. I was hesitant at first because I already started on another file but I tried it out anyway. Eventually, I came to like the website. It was easy to use and I barely had any problems. I ended up doing research on where to put the action, scene, and dialogue.

The Final Script
|
I changed my idea of a med drama. Instead i created a script about a girl, Beverly, who is "inspired" by thinspiration. Thinspiration is found on any social media or website. It encourages girls to lose weight, mostly in unhealthy ways. For example, not eating and just drinking water, or none. The sites or pages are filled with pictures of skinny girls. She starts to avoid eating in anyway she can, which is one of the symptoms of anorexia. Her friends find out about her non-eating habits and is pressured to each. The end of the script ends suddenly. I chose to end it suddenly because once you have an eating disorder, you can't stop it and everything gets better in a snap of a finger.
History
My history piece is annotations of my script. Each note I make is information I gathered from my research. The notes explain why each character did a certain thing.

Art
I created a collage for bulimia. The background is set on a toilet. The most popular method of getting rid of food is forced vomiting into a toilet. Models in bikinis surround the seat. Based on my research, models become bulimic to maintain weight or lose it. The right corner of the picture has magazines. Images of skinny women on covers of famous magazines "inspire" girls in bad ways. A pear with pig ears pokes out behind the toilet lid. The pear is from an ad "This is No Shape for a Girl" you can also see those words in the upper left corner. Girls who have an eating disorder compare themselves to pigs.
