Body positivity and diet culture

This assignment is for you to summarize, evaluate, and analyze secondary sources in relation to one specific theme or topic. You should include specific details on the works you’ve read in a concise format. To successfully summarize and evaluate a source, you should know its thesis, argument, and evidence—in other words, what’s the point of the article, and how does the writer communicate this? Your annotations—the paragraphs following the MLA citations—should be descriptive and critical.
