Writing with Style: Conversations on the Art of Writing
Autor John R. Trimbleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2010
This bestselling brief supplementary text is for any course in which students write.
Writing with Style is storehouse of practical writing tips-written in a lively, conversational style. This text provides insight into: how to generate interesting ideas and get them down on paper; how to write a critical analysis; how to write a crisp opener; how to invigorate a dull style; how to punctuate with confidence; how to handle various conventions-and much more. Trimble is readily accessible to first-year college students, yet sophisticated enough to delight a senior English Honors class. Unusually flexible, the book can function equally well as both a self-teaching text (in literature courses, etc.) and a companion text (in composition and journalism courses).
