Read the following in your textbook: “The Globalization of Eating Disorders” by Susan Bordo (pp. 205-207). In complete sentences and with depth and detail, answer the following:
- Is Bordo utilizing the pattern “effects of a major cause” or “causes for a major effect”? Explain’The Globa your
  - List at least two of the most effective sentences in Bordo’s article, offering a full discussion of how and why they were effective for you as a reader of a cause and effect analysis.
- Identify and explain at least one lesson you learned from reading this article that will help you with your own cause and effect
Next, begin work on your own cause and effect essay by choosing a topic. Your topic must be very narrow, must address a very specific set of subpoints (depending on how you choose to organize, your subpoints may be causes or effects, but never a mix – we must always construct a cause and effect analysis with a major cause and several effects or a major effect and several causes). Your topic and subpoints must also have a powerful and clear purpose. Complete the following:

- Briefly list 3 possible topics for your cause and effect essay. Examples might include several reasons you moved to the city you are in, or several lessons learned from wrecking your car, or several reasons behind your choice to marry your spouse and/or to not get married, and/or to make any life Just be sure that you are thinking in terms of one or the other: Either choose one cause and develop several effects or choose one effect and identify several causes.
- Which topic do you feel most passionate about?
- What will your audience gain by reading this essay?
  - Once you choose your topic, brainstorm a list of 3 Later, when you develop those further in your Week 5 assignment, you will use a number of techniques, choosing those most appealing and relevant for the rhetorical situation. For example, your 3 subpoints may lend themselves to physical description – colors, shapes, sounds, smells – or more to listing qualities of a person or place and/or using some of the comparison and contrast and process methods you have learned.
