Wadsworth Guide

I thought that the reading from the textbook was much more fruitful than anything from Ball Point was. I got more out of it because it was easier to read, and they explained it more thoroughly. I also liked some of the diagrams that they had in the textbook to show examples of how, or how not to begin the research process. In the textbook they also had questions that you should ask yourself that I found very helpful in thinking about how to begin my work. I enjoyed reading the Wadsworth Guide more than any other textbook that I have ever had. I can see myself using this book often during my writing process. I think that it will be very handy along the way.
While reading the section on the Writing Processes I immediately recognized the Five Canons of Rhetoric that we had talked about in class from the Brigham Young University. However after looking at the website, and what the book had to say about the Five Canons, I thought that the book went into much more detail.
