The popular, brief rhetoric that treats writing as thinking, WRITING ANALYTICALLY, Fifth Edition, offers a series of prompts that lead you through the process of analysis and synthesis and help you to generate original and well-developed ideas. The book's overall point is that learning to write well means learning to use writing as a way of thinking well. To that end, the strategies of this book describe thinking skills that employ writing. As you will see, this book treats writing as a tool of thought--a means of undertaking sustained acts of inquiry and reflection.
Great Resource
| Customer Rating: | | This writing guide is extensive and dense. Don't let that deter you. If you can get past its dense rhetoric, then this turns into a perfect guide for writing analytically. It's short and presents the information very candidly. |
So so
| Customer Rating:  | | It works as a writing textbook, but thats still what it is, and that leads to quite a bit of boredom. |
useful for the class
| Customer Rating: | | The book arrived in very good condition. Useful for this class but I do not think I would read it beyond that. |
an excellent teaching tool
| Customer Rating: | | I teach composition at a mid-sized Catholic university in the mid-Atlantic region, and this book has improved my students' writing by leaps and bounds in only a month. The topics are ordered in a way that makes more sense than many composition textbooks; Rosenwasser and Stephen start with reading strategies, and only get to the nuts and bolts of writing after laying out the steps for critical analysis. In other words, THINKING comes before WRITING - as it should. The examples drawn from student papers are very helpful, and the "Try This" exercises provide excellent and meaningful practice (my students grumble a bit about having to do all of them, but I can see the results in the vastly improved work that they turn in). |
Writing Analytically
| Customer Rating: | | The book was just as described. My son is using it in college. |
