Reading Literature and Writing Argument (5th Edition)

Based on the assumption that writing is valued only when it makes readers think, this anthology combines the content of literature and argument texts into one easy to use book. Reading Literature and Writing Argument provides students with multi-genre reading experiences designed to immerse them in critical and creative thinking as they address problems and issues from multiple perspectives.  This book also prompts students to see language as a way to create meaning in their lives and to see themselves as writers with a purpose and an audience.
