English Composition 101,
By Amy Wicks (Nebraska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moves Writers Make (Paperback)
I used this book for my English Comp. class. Its full of great essays about different subjects. Great for an open minded reader. Gives great examples of what an essay should be. Goes over the 7 common moves writers make and gives a description of each one in each essay. Recomended.
