This comics-style collaboration between rhetoricians Elizabeth Losh and Jonathan Alexander and illustrator team Big Time Attic presents the content of the composition course in a form designed to draw students in. Understanding Rhetoric: A Graphic Guide to Writing covers what first-year college writers need to know - the writing process, critical analysis, argument, research, revision, and presentation - in a visual format that brings rhetorical concepts to life through examples ranging from Aristotle to YouTube.
