An enriching introduction to the diverse and exciting world of literature, this anthology offers a broad collection of short fiction, poetry, drama and nonfiction selections written by a diverse group of writers who represent different social classes, races, genders, cultures, and sexual orientations. Organizes selections around five socially relevant themes-Growing Up and Growing Older; Women and Men; Money and Work; Peace and War; and Varieties of Protest. Shows how literary technique serves larger purposes-the recreation of experience, the exploration of ideas, the analysis of social issues-and how these larger purposes themselves shape literary form. Explains the ways in which literary form creates meaning, and provides a strong emphasis on writing about literature throughout, with a full chapter on all stages of the writing process -generating ideas, developing a thesis, discovering a form, drafting, revising, and editing-plus numerous excerpts from sample papers and journals.

It was not the book that was shown
I was not happy with the book entirely because it was advertised as the new book and I got the old one. It does serve some purpose but I had eight stories and poems that my teacher assigned my class to read and they are not in this book. Those stories are in the new book not the book I received and now I have to photocopy the stories and poems which is costing me more money. This is the reason why I purchased the updated book or so I thought I did. I would appreciate it if the books were sold and advertised as it is sold.
