Riassunto

The esteemed authors of this classic 3-in-1 rhetoric include samples of their own writing, student writing, and the writing of some 50 essayists to help readers form and develop ideas, and communicate those ideas clearly on paper. Stressing writing as a process involving both reading and critical thinking, the text helps students to create skillful essays in exposition, analysis, and persuasion. Professional essays and student pieces alike stimulate readers and provide them with models of a variety of writing samples.

Dalla quarta di copertina

The Eighth Edition of this classic rhetoric, reader, and handbook helps students to write effective college essays. Because college writing is a process that includes both reading and critical thinking. The Practical Guide to Writing offers more than 50 essays-by students and by professional writers-that provide not only subjects for analysis but also examples of effective writing.

Chapter 17, "Writing About Literature," includes stories by Isabel Allende and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a new series of drafts and revisions by a student writer, and a brief discussion of current critical approaches to literature
New essays on topics students are likely to encounter in other courses (the Internet, plagiarism, Vietnam), as well as new work by such writers as Steve Martin, Robert B. Reich, Debra Dickerson, and Patricia J. Williams
