The stories in this impressive collection have been chosen for the challenge they offer the reader and the variety of language used. These stories include a careful selection of autobiographical stories such as A Cub Pilot from Mark Twain, stories in verse, short stories, selections from Bible as literature, two great speeches by Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, and a drama by Sophocles. Poetry selections in this volume focus on Seasons, Voices and Viewpoints, and Ideas. Difficult vocabulary is defined on the page in which the word appears, building vocabulary while exposing the student to a wide variety of writing styles.
