Inhaltsangabe

Many outsiders might view New York City as inscrutable - a place too vast and complex to understand - never mind to live in. But residents of New York know the city as a place that has both limits and great possibilities.

The Place Where We Dwell: Reading and Writing about New York City encourages the reader to explore the city in all of its complexity. Students taking their first or second composition class might approach writing and critical thinking as overwhelming, much like New York City to the newcomer. The Place Where We Dwell contextualizes critical reading, writing, and thinking, while exploring the city some call home.

The NEW third edition of The Place Where We Dwell inspires an animated discussion and to sustain conversations through several defined themes such as city life, immigration, urban education, art and design, current issues, and the waterfront.

The Place Where We Dwell: Reading and Writing about New York City:

• Includes numerous essays that provide and demonstrate details and critical reflection that students could incorporate into their own writing.
• Examines the rhetorical strategy of comparison and contrast.
• Provides exemplary models of exposition, analysis, and argumentation and offer a broad context for student response.
• Offers a sampling of imaginative writing that both expands upon many of the themes found throughout the reader and offers readers imaginative visions of the urban experience.
• Includes student-friendly pedagogical elements such as chapter introductions, author biographies preceding each selection, pre-reading questions. Discussion questions, writing tasks, a companion website, and more!
