The essays span centuries and can really help you find new eras of literature to read. A new edition comes out every few years with new essays. I haven't read them all but I've read 30 or so and have enjoyed all but 1 or 2 that just weren't my style. Definitely a great read for commuting or those who are obsessive about having to finish what you start. I read most of this in April but had to return it before a trip. It's a neat mix of classics and modern works, all worthy examples and interesting in their own right. A few social themes are disproportionately emphasized, especially gender and race issues. Among my favorites of the selection were: Graduation (Angelou), Of Studies (Bacon), Politics and the English Language (Orwell), Notes of a Native Son (Baldwin), Calculated Risks (Cole), Attending a World (Bateson), The Trouble with Wilderness (Cronon), Letter from a Birmingham Jail (King), On Self-Respect (Didion), and The Geography of Imagination (by Davenport). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
One Hundred Great Essays collects one-hundred of the most teachable and rewarding essays used in today's college composition class. The anthology combines classic, commonly taught essays with frequently anthologized contemporary essays by today's most highly regarded writers. The selections are broadly diverse in both subject matter and authorship. Essays have been selected as both models for good writing and useful springboards for student writing. An introductory section discusses the qualities of the essay form and offers instruction on how to read essays critically, and shows students how to use the writing process to develop their own essays Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

"A weasel is wild. Who knows what he thinks? He sleeps in his underground den his tail draped over his nose. Sometimes he lives in his den for two days without leaving. Outside, he stalks rabbits, mice, muskrats, and birds, killing more bodies than he can eat warm, and often dragging the carcasses home. Obedient to instinct, he bites hie prey at the neck, either splitting the jugular vein at the throat or crunching the brain at the base of the skull, and he does not let go." ( )
