Engl 1010 Introduction to Writing
The topic that I researched was on male anorexia. We had to have 6 sources including web sources, articles, interviews, and books on the subject. I did this assignment with a partner so we shared the work. It was a ten page research paper including our side of the story, a rebuttle, interviews with experts or victims, and a possible solution.

I did this research paper with Jessica Ockler. Some of the things that I found out when I did the paper were that in a research paper, you have to do a lot of research. I guess that's self explanitory but I had never done one before so it was a big change for me. I also learned that because I was working with another person, we had to split the work equally. This was both helpful, and a challenge. It was helpful because I could rely on somebody else to do some of the work when I wasn't able to. It was a challenge because you had to learn to comprimise when not all of your ideas worked together. The research paper that we did was about male eating disorders. We picked this topic because we both thought that it was really interesting and it doesn't usually cross people's minds that men can go through this problem too. We did it because we had both known someone to go through this disorder and we wanted to help educate people, starting with our class.

Reflection
The paper above is a perspectives paper. We had to choose an issue and pick a side and argue our side. The topic that i chose was about the link between obesity and fast food. I chose to argue that You shouldn't blame the eater for being overweight. There are unacconted for variables that many people fail to take into account. Some of which include preexisting conditions, inability to purchase healthier food that is not on the "dollar menu", and not enough time to cook dinner at home every night, only time to pick something up from the drive through on their way to multiple jobs. Sometimes, people just don't have the time or the resources to have their health a priority. I already felt this way because I have seen both sides of the argument but the research helped solidify my perspective.
