Produktbeschreibung

This best-selling reader features chapters with unique themes (such as dreams, myths, the reasoning mind) and instruction in a range of rhetorical strategies. Supporting a creative approach to the teaching of writing, Dreams and Inward Journeys presents a rich mixture of personal and academic essays, stories, and poems. The readings touch on such topics as memory, myths and fairy tales, obsessions, sexuality, gender roles, technology, popular culture, nature, and spirituality. Readings encourage students to investigate new ways of seeing and understanding themselves and their relationship to important social issues and universal human concerns. Each chapter also provides practical writing advice on a specific rhetorical strategy (from narration to comparison to argument and research), a range of writing assignments, and sample student papers.
