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.


Features

  • Notable Authors like Virginia Woolf, Stephen King, Terry Tempest Williams, Mark Strand, Pablo Neruda, David Sedaris, Desmond Tutu, and Linda Hogan make this an impressive, as well as unique, collection of readings.
  • A vast array of writing genres includes argument essays, analytical essays, memoirs, poems, and stories.
  • Chapters open with both rhetorical and thematic introductions–for example, Chapter 4 compares traditional and modern myths and offers writing guidelines for developing a comparison/contrast essay.
  • One or two sample student essays appear at the end of each chapter to demonstrate how a student might explore the chapter’s theme and to model the rhetorical strategy introduced at the beginning of the chapter.
  • “Journal” prompts preceding the reading selections encourage informal and expressive writing.
  • “Questions for Discussion” and “Ideas for Writing” assignments follow each reading and encourage close analytical reading, as well as a variety of written responses to the reading.
  •  “Connection” questions following each reading ask students to find connections among different readings in a chapter and throughout the book.
  • Topic-related “Related Web Sites” URLs offer resources for further reading and research on the topic of that reading.
  • “Topics for Research and Writing” assignments at the end of each chapter offer ideas for longer writing projects, including researched essays.


New To This Edition

  • Thirty-six new readings continue to develop and update the text’s thematic concepts, with particular attention to social and political issues.
  • A rhetorical advice section opens each chapter and provides students with one particular writing and thinking strategy.
  • Three chapters (Ch. 3, Journeys and Reflections; Ch. 8, Pop Dreams; and Ch. 9, Voyages in Spirituality) take new directions and include a wealth of new readings.
  • Eight new student essays add fresh perspectives to the readings.
