Many outsiders might view New York City as inscrutable - a place
too vast and complex to understand - never mind to live in. But
residents of New York know the city as a place that has both limits
and great possibilities. Â The Place Where We Dwell: Reading
and Writing about New York City encourages the reader to explore
the city in all of its complexity. Students taking their first or
second composition class might approach writing and critical
thinking as overwhelming, much like New York City to the newcomer.
The Place Where We Dwell contextualizes critical reading,
writing, and thinking, while exploring the city some call
home. The NEW third edition of The Place Where We
Dwell inspires an animated discussion and to sustain
conversations through several defined themes such as city life,
immigration, urban education, art and design, current issues, and
the waterfront. The Place Where We Dwell: Reading and
Writing about New York City:Â Includes numerous essays that
provide and demonstrate details and critical reflection that
students could incorporate into their own writing. Examines the
rhetorical strategy of comparison and contrast. Provides exemplary
models of exposition, analysis, and argumentation and offer a broad
context for student response. Offers a sampling of imaginative
writing that both expands upon many of the themes found throughout
the reader and offers readers imaginative visions of the urban
experience. Includes student-friendly pedagogical elements such as
chapter introductions, author biographies preceding each selection,
pre-reading questions. Discussion questions, writing tasks, a
companion website, and more!Â
