I chose to use McMahan's text because it saves me time as an instructor of English. Composition comprises the most significant portion of a student's grade in a college literature class, and this text teaches students how to write an essay about literature from the beginning of the process to the end. I also like the bonus of a novella, The Awakening, which is often taught at the intro. level but under separate cover. Such a deal.

I teach Composition 111 and 112 at a community college along with a Dual Enrollment English class, which combines Comp I and Comp II for college credit, to high school college-bound seniors. Initially, I used this text for Eng 112, and when it came time to purchase anthologies for my Dual Enrollment Course, I explored every text I could get access to. After exhaustive research, I chose Literature and the Writing Process, 8th ed. because it combines writing--the process, the modes, and research--the list goes on and on--with a solid selection of fiction, drama, and poetry. In short, I can use one text for both parts of the course instead of separate texts for the two required college composition courses. If there is a change I'd like to see in the next edition, it would be the inclusion of multi-cultural, particularly Asian, selections.

Needed the book for an English class. Extremely easy to read and has a lot of good short stories and poems.

The book shipped in excellent condition and even faster than i hoped. I am happy with this seller and will continue to do business with them.
The book is used specifically for a summer class, so it's not my most treasured read - but well written and easy to follow with some great classics in it.

I ordered this Book from Amazon and It arrived in Excellent condition. It doesn't take a scholar to realize that Amazon is amazing!

Very happy with my purchase. This is why I continue to purchase all my college text books via Amazon. Thank you.

IJUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE BOOK CAME TO ME FAST. IT CAME AS IT WAS IN THE IMAGE. I REALLY LIKE IT. IT HELP ME A LOT FOR MY ENGLISH COURSE IN THE UNIVERSITY! IT HAS MANY PART OF READING STORIES, POETRY AND GOOD ADVICES FOR EVERYONE TO WRITE. ITS COOL.

The only reason I got this book is because I needed it for class... and I didn't get it at the bookstore because it was like $20 more, so I got it here and saved that.. BUT I still paid over $75 for it, which makes me mad since I'm only going to use it for a few months -but whatever, that's the price you gotta pay if you want to go to college- .... ANYWAY, the book is ok so far (I've read 3 chapters already), easy to read and doesn't make things long, boring or complicated.

The service was wonderful, and the book was exactly how I expected it to be.

I just want to thank the people I bought this book from. Being a college student, I waited until the last minute to make sure I really needed the book. When I got on Amazon and bought the book I was hoping it would be here in no time, and that was the case exactly. Thanks for the fast shipping and the book!
