The Seagull Reader

by Joseph Kelly

"The Third Edition continues the tradition of highly praised pedagogy that has been a hallmark of the Seagull Readers since their inception. Concise introductions to reading and writing about essays offer students the fundamentals of understanding writing and rhetoric, while a new feature, "How Do I Write Essays?," offers guidance on writing persuasive essays. A new Discussion Guide fosters classroom discussion and provides writing prompts for student essays, and additional guidance for student writers is available at Norton/Write."--
