My personal thoughts after getting GIRL in MIRROR MIRROR.
First thought is that its going to be hard, which Miss Mace has made quite clear. Before we were told our roles, we (me, Holly, Adele, Maddy, Knowlsey and Kyle) were told that we were playing 'straight' characters. These roles can be considered hard as there is no room for portraying a stereo-typical type, for example i represent all Girls not just one. This can make it harder to receive a good mark! Meaning the effort, time and research of the character needs to be put in, if an A is my goal.. which i don't see why it shouldn't be.
I am really happy with my role and glad i have the opportunity and challenge of playing the girl. Getting into the mind set of my character is going to be a difficult task but i have many ideas of how i can experience some feelings the girl goes through..
My first idea is being ANNOREXIC for a day!After visiting the pro-anorexia sites i found many girls asking for advice and talking about fasting.. so for one day i am going to do the same eating plan and exercises as one particular girl on the site. So i can experience some of the things they go through.. even tho I'm not lookin forward 2 it, but come on now I've done the 40 hour famine, but that was 4 money, but this is 4 a good mark so I RECKON I CAN AND WILL DO IT!
AN ENTRY I FOUND ABOUT A GIRL EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HUNGER...
i've been thinking about the different types of hunger--like how there's 'snackish' hunger that is just an annoyance and easily dealt with, and then you go into 'real' hunger--like i havent had a meal in 12 hours and how sometimes it hurts your stomach and sometimes it hurts your head too....and how sometimes that is the hardest hunger to get past....but then theres 'starving'--i havent eaten in DAYS and how somehow it perpetuates itself. once you go so long with that hunger, you never want it to go away, no matter how much it hurts. and you get panicky about anything that you MIGHT eat because that would ruin your hunger....and then there is that weird hunger when you havent eaten in a week or more and it doesnt really hurt your stomach you just keep thinking 'i HAVE to eat. i HAVE to eat' and you start thinking a million miles a minute about whats in the pantry and what would be safe and should you binge and would you purge and where would you purge and my god i just HAVE to eat SOMETHING right NOW.

Hey jenna,
this is great research. Make sure you keep the website address or the reference as you will possibly need it for your report.
It would be interesting trying to display the differnet types of hunger and adding these in at different times depending on the mood of the girl.
Keep the development going
