Title: Exploring literature--Fifth edition
Description: With engaging selections, provocative themes, and comprehensive coverage of the writing process, Exploring Literature combines practical writing instruction with a carefully selected anthology of classic and contemporary literature from around the world. Critical thinking is woven into every facet of its writing apparatus while guiding students through the process of crafting personal responses into persuasive arguments. Following five opening chapters dedicated to reading, writing, arguing, and researching about literature, the anthology is divided into five thematically-arranged sections that include contextual case studies, writing prompts, and sample student essays to help students approach literature with a critical eye and write thoughtful essays. Exploring Literature assembles stimulating literature and structured advice to create a valuable guide that will not only help you to write about literature but to improve your writing and thinking processes in general.
