Description
WRITING WITH A THESIS is based on the persuasive principle-the development and support of a thesis in order to persuade a reader, which is exactly the skill the beginning writer in freshman composition needs to develop. The book's 52 professional and 10 student essays are almost all short and easy to read so that class time can be devoted not to what the readings mean, but to what they mean for the student's writing.

The latest, revised edition of a text for students of freshman composition operates from the principle that the development and support of a persuasive thesis underlies almost all good writing. It includes 52 professional and 10 student essays in support of the theme. The revision contains several new essays and adds 10 "half-chapters" that provide short practical tips on the ins and outs of the writing process.
