The informal, student-friendly tone of these rhetorically-organized rhetoricl/reader/handbooks provides step-by-step instructions on writing a variety of 500 to 800 word essays.
This is one of the English textbooks my composition class requires. So far this well written book has been a great instructional device to help become a better writer.
This was a text book book for a writing class. One of my favorite essays was called "So What's So Bad about Being So-So?" This essay was a classic and I will remember it forever. You have to read it.
We are currently using this text for my high school Advanced Composition class and I wish I had a copy to keep for myself!! :D It is such a wonderful textbook to refer to!!
