Description
This best-selling collection of readings explores the theme of dreams, the imagination, and the reasoning mind.
Supporting a creative approach to the teaching of writing, Dreams and Inward Journeys presents a rich mixture of personal and academic essays, stories, and poems. The readings touch on such topics as memory, myths and fairy tales, obsessions, sexuality, gender roles, technology, popular culture, nature, and spirituality. Readings encourage students to investigate new ways of seeing and understanding themselves and their relationship to important social issues and universal human concerns. Featuring a dual thematic and rhetorical organization, each chapter also provides practical writing advice on a specific rhetorical pattern, a range of writing assignments, and sample student papers. Beautiful, stimulating art opens each chapter to support the theme and provide prompts for prewriting.
