QUESTION:
Do not use any outside sources!
In "A Secret Society of the Starving," Mim Udovitch writes, "Being an ana is a state of mind-part addiction, part obsession, and part seesawing sense of self worth, not-necessarily corresponding to what you actually weigh." To what extent does an analysis of Kafka's "A Hunger Artist" support our understanding of Udovitch's description of anorexic tendencies? Make sure to begin your argument with a thesis that addresses the question and ground your answer in textual analysis.
READINGS:
"A Hunger Artist," Franz Kafka
