After talking to Bolos and Doc OC, I think I might finally have a junior theme worthy introduction. The grabber is the same, just my thesis is different...
for, hopefully, the last time, what do you think about this introduction?
After being told by a theatre company that at 5'5" and 96 lbs she was overweight, Heidi Guenther developed an eating disorder. She died at age 22 as a result of anorexia and bulimia (Boston Globe). Women go to such great extents to achieve “beauty”. Many women, such as Heidi Guenther have lost their lives striving to attain this attractiveness. But, why are Americans so obsessed with the physical appearance of females? Standards of beauty are set by advertisement agencies, stereotypical gender roles and the cosmetic industry's constant push for one to be "more beautiful", therefore women obsess over their own appearance, sometimes to a harmful extent, in order to meet societal standards. This fixated need for women to be physically attractive has brought forth a fascination with different ways to reach ideal beauty.

Hi Andrea. I think your intro looks good; it seems you've put a lot of time and effort into it. Perhaps in the last sentence, instead of saying "reach" ideal beauty, could you say "conform" to the ideal beauty? (Just a small suggestion.)
How is your project going in terms of information retrieval? Are you finding a lot in General Ref. Center Gold, ProQuest, or Lexis Nexis? Please let Ms. Gressel or me know if you're having difficulty. Enjoy the weekend!
I noticed that you don't have annotations done yet...you may want to get going on this to help you sort out all the ideas and arguments you've found so far.
