Write it Right: Writing the Traditional Essay About Literature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781073398423)

Write It Right is a tutorial which demonstrates a method that can be used to write an essay about a work of literature. To show how this is done, the tutorial follows the creation of an essay from start to finish. Finally, and probably most importantly, a writing tutorial designed like this one allows you to dictate the pace at which you move. You are not forced, except by the deadlines that you or your instructor may impose, to move at a predetermined rate. You go on to the next section when you are ready. Within reasonable limits, you determine when you understand something well enough to proceed. If you have trouble understanding a particular part, that's what the instructor is for although a fellow student may also be able to help.
