“While ‘Hard to Swallow’ presents a challenging and often disturbing narrative, it offers a valuable opportunity to engage students in critical discussions about body image and the destructive nature of eating disorders like bulimia. Wheeler’s unflinching portrayal, though graphic, can serve as a powerful catalyst for empathy and understanding, prompting students to explore the underlying psychological and social pressures that contribute to such struggles. By analyzing the story’s extreme depiction, we can foster a safe space for open dialogue, encouraging students to recognize the importance of mental health awareness and the need for compassionate support systems.”
