"College English Volume 2 has been made as a basic text to help freshmen students clarify, organize, and explain their thoughts and feelings. The rhetoric leads students through a sequence of lessons to an understanding and application of the principles that govern effective expository and argumentative prose. The readers have been selected and arranged to extend and expand these lessons. Although there is obviously more than one way to help students improve their writing, the book uses a sequential structured approach which is helpful to students with limited background or experience in writing. Both the rhetoric and the reader concentrate on expository and argumentative prose, because these are the forms of writing that are most essential to success in college studies. The book purpose and plan are essentially to guide students so that they can think well and write effective paragraphs or essays. The framework shows them, through both principles and practice, how they can shape the raw materials of personal experience, experience, observation, and reflection into clear and convincing expository or argumentative prose."
