A must have for anyone who needs to write an effective essay!
This simply stated reference book gives details in concise writing techniques that I used from the first time I opened the book! My collegiate career would have been easier if I'd had this before I became a senior - what an awesome find - recommended by a peer.

And I say...
This book is full of templates and models of writing arguments. It's very helpful for anyone to learn these skills even though it was meant for college students; in fact, I really see it as being more helpful to teach high school (upper school) students these styles.
