Strategies is the only rhetoric/reader/handbook to include a full discussion of the writer's stance and ethics in writing and reading. Providing practical solutions to students' writing problems, the text includes dozens of examples of student writing, as well as many short pieces by professionals. Divided into three parts, the rhetoric provides writing strategies along with some suggestions about the ethics of composition; the reader supplies rhetorically-organized examples of writers working at their craft; and the handbook gives standard advice on grammar and usage.
