51 new readings, including five by students, on stimulating contemporary topics. Greg Beato suggests that parody journalism may reveal truths its "straight" counterpart conceals in "Amusing Ourselves to Depth: Is The Onion Our Most Intelligent Newspaper?" Connie Eble’s Slang and Sociability: In-Group Language among College Students explores how today’s students talk to each other. Christine Rosen’s Virtual Friendship and the New Narcissism looks at how online social networking paradoxically focuses users’ attention on themselves. A new focus on academic and public writing throughout the book. A new chapter on synthesizing rhetorical strategies and sources into academic and public writing includes a pair of sample essays and a pair of sequenced essay assignments. The two items in each pair are based on the same topic but intended for different purposes and audiences, one professional/academic and the other public/civic. A section on academic writing in each chapter introduction explains and illustrates how that chapter’s rhetorical pattern is used in this genre. Thematically paired reading selections in each chapter are accompanied by an assignment calling for academic or public writing. A new annotated reading in each chapter helps point out to students the key features of the rhetorical method, as well as other crucial features such as thesis statements and transitions.
