Literature: Reading, Reacting, Writing Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The first three-genre introduction to literature text to address the changing canon is now the first to include a comprehensive guide for writing about literature-with full coverage of critical thinking, argument, and the writing process. Teachers themselves, Kirszner & Mandell take students through each step of the research and writing process, helping them to craft literary analyses and arguments and to understand that writing about literature is a process of discovery, examination, and debate. Combining the broadest selection of literature available with time-proven and class-tested instruction, LITERATURE: READING, REACTING, WRITING, Sixth Edition, remains the most useful and student-friendly introduction to literature text available.

We used this book in my literature class, and I should say that I am not a fan of literature classes, but this book was very surprising. It contains short stories, poems, and plays like any other text, but if offers a wide variety of topics for selection by the professor or the student based on personal preferences or educational objectives. For instance, when working with poetry, students may choose from a variety of poems from baseball to romance. It is all there! Another example would be the short stories in the text; they range from stories of military experience to Asian family traditions. It is not only a literature book, but also a book of culture and variety. It is so well rounded it should appeal to all types of personalities, likes, and dislikes.

I used this book for a college literature class. It is a great book covering short stories, plays, poems and more. This is one book I will not be selling back!
I needed this book for one of my college classes and it did not disappoint. The content is wonderful and overall the book I received was still in great condition. The bind was a little worn but in no way did it create an issue for me. There was no writing or notes in my book which is incredible for the low price I spent on it.
I used this book for a college literature class. It is a great book, I loved most all of the short stories, plays, poems and more. I only thing is that before buying this book look for past ed. I bought this one not knowing that I had the book in the ed. before. The cover is different but that is all my friend had the older book and was just fine, Save some money.
This book is a good small edition to the full-sized book. While it is off in page numbers, and thusly creates the need to admit to not having the full text, the book itself had everything I needed for my class.
I had to buy this book for a literature class, and it is chock full of everything from poetry to plays to fiction, long and short stories. Nice book. Have been reading more than the required because it has such a nice selection.
This turned out to be an excellent book. I'm an avid reader and the selection of stories as well as the authors were chosen with perfection. To have purchased such quality at this economical price is truly a blessing. This book will stay in my collection to reference throughout the years.
