Reading and Writing in Freshman English II

Freshman composition instructors will not find a more affordable basic textbook for their cash-strapped students. This book and its partner edition, Reading and Writing in Freshman English I, focus on total literacy, with emphasis given to reading comprehension of increasingly challenging texts. Includes stories by Wilde, Joyce, Cather, and Vonnegut; selections from Kahlil Gibran; poetry from Browning, Blake, Poe, Housman, Whitman, and McCrae; and sections on writing personal narratives, brainstorming activities, effective peer editing, logical fallacies, MLA citations, a works cited exercise, an MLA-style paper, fourteen rubrics and checklists, and more.
