• A wide range of contemporary and classic authors, and of genres and themes, offers a flexible and pedagogically appealing collection of models for good writing. • Selections grouped by genre—Personal Writing, Essays, Fiction, and Poetry—under 9 universal themes move students from questions about self-discovery and relationships to larger issues of culture, science, and technology and the goals of human freedom and dignity. • Notebooks at the beginning of each section group together readings that encourage analysis and synthesis around a particular issue. • Part II, On Being a Conscious Reader and an Intelligent Writer, supports the theme of this reader by bringing together thoughts about the importance of reading and writing by such diverse and well-known figures as Stephen King, Malcolm X and Flannery O’Connor, along with specific guidance on writing well by experts like Joseph Williams. • A multi-page excerpt from Scott McCloud’s graphic essay, The Language of Comics, both discusses and represents the importance of visual literacy in our increasingly image-laden world. • A section of full-color art and over 30 black-and-white photos provide provocative visual prompts for class discussion.
• An alternate rhetorical table of contents makes this a flexible collection for any teaching approach. • A detailed Instructor's Manual includes a discussion of every selection in the text.
