Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. No Jacket. {Scott, Foresman and Company; Glenview, IL; 1985; Trade Paperback; Good/No Jacket; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; ISBN: 0-673-15859-4.} Spine creased, light creases at lower edge of front cover. "This book is first and foremost a book for writers. In each part and chapter, the introduction, the writing assignments and the description of the writing process emphasize the techniques and methods that writers use. Each chapter's selected readings reinforce those techniques by exemplifying writers, both nonliterary and literary, in their roles of observer, expositor, evaluator, persuader, and speaker. [The authors] have divided the book into four roles of the writer--observer, expositor, evaluator, persuader; a fifth section focuses on written forms of spoken discourse, and a sixth includes the writer in multiple roles."
