An engaging collection of 70 short essays organized by the rhetorical modes all writers use: narration, description, comparison, and more. Readings on diverse experiences and perspectives make The Norton Sampler a book students enjoy reading, and brief, practical writing advice helps them learn. One-third of the readings are new-including two new thematic clusters on technology and censorship-and the Eleventh Edition includes a new chapter on "Analysis." Now available in a more interactive, assignable ebook that takes student reading to the next level with Check Your Understanding questions to encourage comprehension as they read.
