Writing Analytically
Rosenwasser; StephenSinopsis
WRITING ANALYTICALLY treats writing as a tool of thought offering prompts that lead students through the process of analysis and help them to generate original well developed ideas The authors of this brief popular rhetoric believe that learning to write well requires learning to use writing as a tool to think well Rosenwasser and Stephen emphasize analysis as a mode of enriching understanding that precedes and in some cases supplants argument Materials in the eighth edition are better integrated more contextualized and when possible condensed A new chapter Thinking Like a Writer contains a broad array of strategies for integrating opportunities for writing into a course It makes explicit a subtext that pervades the book that to think of yourself as a writer is to see more to think differently and to engage the meaning of things more earnestly
