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.
