Skittles

1. Twist:
As Crystal Renn walks down the runway, she feels her stomach growling. She cant help but think that she shouldn't have missed out on lunch. She does everything that she can to stay skinny, but sometimes she feels like she just isn’t skinny enough. She begins to feel light headed, then it happens.................... She faints

2. Compare and Contrast:
Back in the 1960’s fashion models were glamorous and normal size, but since the 2000’s, fashion models have gotten skinnier and skinner. Fashion models now are skinnier than a tooth pick, maybe even smaller. If you were to look up “fashion models” or “skinny fashion models” in google, you would find all sorts of nasty looking models that starve themselves to look the way they do.

3. Startling statement:
    Look through any fashion magazine. You see beautiful models, but look again. Do you see it? If you look really hard, you can see the bones of some of those models. Most of all the magazines that you have ever looked at or will ever read, will have these types of models. Doesn’t this make you feel like something is wrong with you because you don't look like this? Don’t feel bad, because five to 10 million Americans have eating disorders because they want to look like this. These magazines are pushing young adults over the edge to be skinny.

  2. I like the twist lead, because it kind of gives a differen perspective, but I think the startling statement is good, too.

  3. The 3rd lead is really effective. The facts are shocking enough to make the reader want to read more of the story.
    Also, those pictures of the models are creepy.

  4. I like the first lead, and I think if you can tie it into some of the shocking facts you included in the third lead, it will be very effective! Nice job.
