Book Description
America Writes is an anthology of eighteen American short stories by contemporary and classic authors, including Ernest Hemingway, Langston Hughes, Ray Bradbury, and Shirley Jackson. The stories have universal appeal that will touch students and make them think. Designed for high-intermediate to advanced students, the text provides entire lessons developed around each story. Pre-reading sections include comprehensive author biographies, discussions of literary terms, and reviews of idioms and expressions found in the stories.

Also included are vocabulary sections, reading comprehension questions, and thought-provoking writing assignments. End-of-chapter sections tie together the stories in each chapter and provide review tests.
