- Summary:
- The guiding philosophy in the development of [this book] is that, through literature, students are able to develop skills essential to their academic, professional, and personal success. Through reading and analysis, critical thinking, and analytical writing about a literary text, students develop the ability to see, understand, and appreciate more than one perspective. [This book] is a literary reader with strong comprehension and literary analysis components. The intended audience is all college composition students, both native speakers of English and nonnative speakers.-Preface. This anthology of short stories and poems ranges from more traditional selections by authors such as Ernest Hemingway to more contemporary works by authors such as Toni Cade Bambara. Selections cover diverse perspectives on the American experience.-Back cover.
