Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This composition reader is organized by the common patternsof rhetorical development. It is particularly distinguished by its selection of readings, all of which have been class-tested, and chosen for their ability to stimulate interest. The book draws a strong connection between active, critical reading and careful, thoughtful writing. Two introductory units offer step-by step suggestions for sound reading strategies and for writing as a process.
Each unit begins with an introduction to a rhetorical pattern and provides an abundance of illustrative examples to help writers understand the methods and purposes used in employing the pattern. Annotated essays in each unit introduction illustrate thought processes in working with each rhetorical strategy. Extensive post-reading apparatus with each selection includes questions on Meaning and Purpose, Strategy and Structure, Style and Language, and Writing Tasks.
For anyone interested in composition. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
