About the Book

A brief supplementary text for Freshman Composition I, and Freshman Composition II. This rhetorically arranged text bridges the gap between students' comprehension of academic culture (their in-class life) and their comprehension of their lives outside of class. By making the connection between their everyday lives and the writing process, students will become more comfortable with college-level writing and more confident in their ability to think critically. The text focuses on the idea that students come into composition classes knowing much more about rhetorical modes than they are able to express.
