Discovering Ideas is designed to help students find new techniques and strategies they can analyze and then incorporate into their own writing. It is also a collection of essays, stories, and poems carefully selected to help writers discover new ideas and create opinions that they want to talk and write about. By simultaneously providing models of good writing and provocative, challenging ideas, Discovering Ideas should help teachers guide their students from analytical reading to thoughtful discussions, and, ultimately, to the writing of their own insightful essays.

The Rhinehart Reader II builds and expands on the guiding principle of Volume I: to provide students with classic essays and stories of the highest rank and lasting worth. The emphasis is on "classic" -- on writers, both contemporary and anicent, who engage us in an ongoing dialogue: who are we? What makes us human? Why do we so often fail to achieve our potential? Why do we sometimes need to laugh at our frailities, to take ourselves a little less seriously? Reading and Writing are immediately related. The essays themselves are grouped according to traditional rhetorical modes, beginning with "Narration" and "Description" and concluding with an extended collection of works illustrating "Argument and persuasion."
