The Creative Argument
Rhetoric in the Real World, with Readings
The Creative Argument sets itself apart from its competitors by presenting a series of compelling works of literary nonfiction that challenge what students think they know about arguments. Each chapter begins with an engaging argument from a work of nonfiction, followed by an in-depth yet accessible analysis of a key aspect of argumentation. Suitable for both courses in argument and first-year writing, the principles and strategies outlined in the text help students become more creative and critical as rhetoricians, both inside the classroom and out. A PDF-only teacher's guide is available for qualified instructors. Visit www.hackettpublishing.com to request the teacher's guide.
