- 70 two to four page selections, the same length as students' own essays. These engaging selections, by well-known writers including Lars Eighner, Langston Hughes, Annie Dillard, and Garrison Keillor, provide students with realistic models for their own writing. The range of voices, cultural perspectives, and degrees of complexity represented in the essays will resonate with today's students. Five full-length student essays demonstrate to students how the rhetorical methods they learn are employed by their peers. - Expanded rhetorical organization. The book's three-part organization acquaints students with elements of the essay (including thesis, unity, organization, and paragraphs) and language of the essay (diction and tone, figurative language) before introducing them to the rhetorical patterns important to college writing. Paired essays in the arguments chapter, new to this edition, promote analytical thinking and help students consider difficult issues, contrast opposing viewpoints, and establish their own stance. - Extensive editorial apparatus in a clear, concise format. In addition to a helpful general introduction, the editors provide a thorough introduction for each chapter as well as four sets of reading and writing activities for each essay to help students explore the writer's technique and the content of the selection. A vocabulary exercise for each reading encourages mastery of new words. A strengthened emphasis on combining strategies encourages students to observe how writers have used effective combinations of rhetorical patterns and to use these combinations in their own writing.
