Description

Incorporating readings that represent new voices and styles in nonfiction that will appeal to contemporary readers, this classic composition reader continues to provide engaging, instructive models of the rhetorical modes.

 

Seventeen new selections appear in this respected modes-based reader, continuing its tradition of offering high-quality, accessible readings but adding readings with a contemporary “edge” and style. The readings encourage students to take a stand on questions of culture, identity, and value in college communities, in the workplace, and in society. Thorough introductions to each rhetorical pattern, numerous exercises, and sample student essays throughout the book emphasize practical concrete writing strategies. A thematic table of contents and table of “Essay Pairs”–which groups essays particularly well-suited for study and discussion–make this book versatile and convenient for instructors to adapt for their classes.


Features

  • Chapter introductions in Chapters3-13 feature complete student essays that model each rhetorical strategy and help students in their own writing.
  • Collaborative writing exercises following each reading accentuate students' learning from one another.
  • Thematic clusters of readings in the “Issues and Ideas” sections at the end of most chapters focus on contemporary issues, helping students develop an awareness of rhetorical strategies while thinking and writing about specific themes.
  • Four groups of questions follow each reading: “Meaning and Values” focusing on the content of each reading, “Expository Techniques” centering on the rhetorical strategies used by each writer, “Diction and Vocabulary” concentrating on word usage, and “Read to Write” aimed at eliciting written responses to the reading.
  • Chapter 14, “Further Readings: Combined Patterns” presents readings that illustrate intriguing combinations of rhetorical patterns and goals for writing more advanced essays.


New To This Edition

  • Seventeen new readings address innovative, contemporary uses of rhetorical patterns and introduce writers representative of current trends and styles in nonfiction writing. These imaginative and often irreverent essays raise questions of value and ethical choices in today's society, including immigration and identity, multi-racial relationships, television/film and self image, consumerism and personal values, politics of the body, and spirituality.
  • An expanded selection of writers–including atul Gewande, Aisha Tyler, Lan Samantha Chang, Dagoberto Gilb, and Donna Tartt–provide more varied points of view and subjects for students to consider.
