Anorexia
Firstly, the thing i like most about this essay is, you started off by asking us to picture something, which is a good writing technique. Secondly, your points are clear and to the point, and your bibliography is clear and can easily be understood. One thing you didnt do however is talk about the effects of Anorexia, like, hair loss, brital teeth, inbfertility so on so forth. But all in all it was brillant, well done!
