The esteemed authors of this classic 3-in-1 rhetoric include samples of their own writing, student writing, and the writing of some 50 essayists to help readers form and develop ideas, and communicate those ideas clearly on paper. Stressing writing as a process involving both reading and critical thinking, the text helps students to create skillful essays in exposition, analysis, and persuasion.
