Synopsis
This rhetoric with readings offers students practical advice on how to create well-written and effective essays in exposition, analysis, and persuasion. Emphasizing writing as reading and writing as thinking, this text provides more than 50 professional essays as well as numerous student pieces to stimulate students and provide them with models of different types of writing. Students are "walked" through the writing process and offered practical advice on how to get ideas and then develop and revise those ideas into complete papers. In addition, topics include writing a book review, taking examinations, writing application letters and resumes, and writing an essay based on an interview. This seventh edition features a new organization that puts more emphasis on revision, revised chapters on style, argument, and writing about literature. There are also many new readings, student papers, examples, and exercises.
