Now THIS is an English text!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Patterns of Exposition is the BEST English text I have ever had the pleasure of using. Period. The book is well organized, providing a clear and concise definition of each pattern and following it with several examples. The essays contained within are all thoughtful, diverse, and fine models of the discussed expository techniques. You will probably learn more about expository writing (and how to become a talented writer yourself) by carefully reading each essay, dissecting them, and pondering their guided questions, than you will during your entire freshman year of college.
A Great Learning Tool

This book is great. It can teach you writing techniques that can be helpful. The only down side is that it is a little pricy.
I was looking for a thesis statement in some of the writings

The theseis statement are very vague. For someone that is learning essay writing for the first time, this is very difficult. The compositions are good. I enjoy reading them
