Reader’s Choice contains a diverse selection of contemporary and journalistic pieces interspersed with classic essay. Each chapter discusses in detail a single rhetorical technique, and includes a selection of professional readings in order to demonstrate the use of that particular technique. Questions following each reading are designed to guide you from a literal understanding of the piece, to interpretation, and finally to analysis.
Reader’s Choice challenges you to think, read, and write on a literal, interpretive, and critical level by discussing various rhetorical strategies through the use of both student and professional essays.
