5.0 out of 5 stars It does its job well, December 23, 2008
This review is from: Patterns for A Purpose: A Rhetorical Reader (book alone) (Paperback)
I got this book because it was required for a writing class. I didn't spend as much time with it as the syllabus told us to, but for what I did get out of it I think it served its purpose well. It provides lots of writing samples so you can get a good idea of how certain papers are supposed to be written. It offers break-downs of the components of the essays that they show. I think it does a good job at making writers understand the writing process. If you can use it, it's very helpful for beginners and those who just need to refresh their writing skills.
