Expanded coverage of the reading process includes a revised Chapter 1 that offers step-by-step instructions and helpful student models for reading actively — including annotating, outlining, summarizing — and reading critically for thesis, purpose, evidence, tone, assumptions, and biases. This emphasis is carried throughout the rhetorical chapters of the book with new “Questions for Critical Reading” that follow each selection.
25 new professional readings feature today’s compelling voices and topics:
- Writer and activist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie confronts negative connotations associated with the word “feminist” in “We Should All Be Feminists.”
- Poet and novelist Ocean Vuong recalls an incident from his childhood that made him aware of his power and purpose as a writer and immigrant in “Surrendering.”
- Award-winning author Daniel James Brown contemplates the punishing demands and extraordinary beauty of “Competitive Rowing.”
Revised or new argument clusters on relevant and challenging topics:
- The revised cluster, “Race and Privilege: How Do We Address a System of Bias?” explores the issue of systemic racism and includes all new essays by Rahawa Haile, Marvin Blakely, and Ward Connerly.
- The new cluster, “Individualism and Collectivism: Where Do We Find Ourselves?” explores the rights and responsibilities of the individual when faced with global crises, such as climate change or a pandemic, that challenge us to act collectively. It includes essays by Robert Ginsburg, Robert Reich, and Tegan Tallulah.
A new student essay and reflection in Chapter 12, Argumentation, presents a researched argument that challenges the fallacy of either/or thinking in Mona Sablon’s “The Case for Art in the Time of a Pandemic.”
