Too many writing books lose sight of the forest for the trees. Clear Thinking and Writing gets to the heart of the matter to help students focus their thinking and improve their writing. Students learn that the most important things to do as a thinker and writer are to

1 Make a clear point. 2 Provide solid support for the point.

Clear Thinking and Writing



CHAPTER 1 An Introduction to Point and Support 7

To think and write clearly, you must understand the difference between point and support. A point is an idea or an opinion. It is usually stated in one sentence. Support is the evidence that backs up this opinion—the specific examples, reasons, facts, or other details that prove the point. Here are three activities that involve cartoons. Working through each activity will give you a good sense of the difference between point and support. You will be on your way to clear thinking and writing.

Look at the following cartoon:

See if you can answer the following questions:

l What is Snoopy’s point in his paper?

Your answer: His point is that __________________________________________________

l What is his support for his point?

Your answer: ________________________________________________________________

ExplanationSnoopy’s point, of course, is that dogs are superior to cats. But he offers no support whatsoever to back up his point! There are two jokes here. First, he is a dog and so is naturally going to believe that dogs are superior. The other joke is that his evidence (“They just are, and that’s all there is to it!”) is a lot of empty words. His somewhat guilty look in the last panel suggests that he knows he has not proved his point. To think and write effectively, you must provide real sup-port for your points and opinions.

Introduction: The Reading-Writing Connection

You may sense that reading and writing are vital skills—in school, on the job, and in life. That is in fact the case! And this book will do its best to help you become a better reader and a stronger writer. To read and write well, you need to understand the difference between point and support. A point is an idea or an opinion. It is also called the main idea, and it is usually stated in one sentence. Support is the evidence that backs up the idea or opinion—the specific examples, reasons, facts, or other details that help prove the point. Here is a diagram that shows at a glance the two essential skills practiced by good readers and writers:

Following are three practice exercises that involve cartoons. Working through each exercise will give you a good sense of the difference between point and support.

More about ContentPart One of the book begins with chapters on main ideas and supporting details in reading. These are followed by a chapter on main ideas and supporting details in writing and a chapter on the steps in the writing process. Then chapters on relationships in reading are followed by chapters on relationships in writing. The final two chapters deal with inferences in reading and writing and argument in reading and writing. Part Two of the book provides fifteen high-interest reading selections for extended systematic practice in thinking, reading, and writing both paragraphs and essays. Finally, Part Three of the book presents information on writing a research paper with sources, as well as a sample research paper in MLA format.

What Is the Main Idea?

“What’s the point?” You’ve probably heard these words before. It’s a question people ask when they want to know the main idea that someone is trying to express. The same question can guide you as you read. Recognizing the main idea, or point, is the most important key to good comprehension. Sometimes a main idea is immediately clear, as in the above cartoon. The point—that the man on the couch has problems—is well supported by the statements about his job, wife, friends, and dog. To find the main idea of a reading selection, ask yourself, “What’s the point the author is trying to make?” For instance, read the paragraph on the following page, asking yourself as you do, “What is the author’s point?”

Main Ideas in Reading1

“I’ve got problems. I lost my job. My wife left me. My friends don’t return phone calls. Even my dog won’t go for a walk with me.”

Voices and Values, 2/e

Janet M. GoldsteinJohn LanganISBN 978-1-59194-443-0462 pagesNet price: $24.00

Forty lively and thought-provoking essays students will want to read


Features of the bookl Readings that celebrate human values

Timely, engaging, thought-provoking essays celebrate old-fashioned human values in a style that never preaches. For example, in the first selection, “The Blind Vet,” an author describes the despair and helplessness felt by an injured veteran and the steps he took to regain his independence. The story becomes an argument for the importance of perseverance—never giving up despite the odds—and the need for love and compassion. Other essays cover such values as gratitude, personal growth, fairness, responsibility, kindness, courage, common sense, and moderation.

l High-quality activitiesAccompanying the selections is a series of activities that will help students improve their reading, thinking, and writing skills. Activities include:

l freewriting topics l discussion questionsl vocabulary questions l paragraph assignmentsl reading comprehension questions l essay assignments

Sample topic sentences and thesis statements, along with specific suggestions for providing support, help students to succeed on the writing assignments. Finally, fifteen additional assignments ask students to read two of the essays and write a paper based on both.

l VersatilityThe book would be ideal for a reading/writing course. It can also be used as a core text in a reading course or as a reader in a writing course covering paragraphs, essays, or both.

l Handy supplementsAn annotated Instructor’s Edition of the book includes answers and explanations, making the book very easy for teachers to use. Available at TP’s online Learning Center are teaching suggestions, answers to the Vocabulary and Reading Checks, suggested answers to the discussion questions, guided writing assignments, and additional readings.


Changes in the Second Edition of Voices and Values . . .l Twenty new readings. Half of the readings have been replaced with new selections, many

taken from current newspapers and magazines. These new readings speak directly to 21st-century concerns. In addition, several of the readings from the first edition have been updated.

l Added questions on the writer’s craft. These questions, located at the end of each Reading Check, will help students further sharpen both their reading and their writing skills.

l A full-color design. Color has been carefully used throughout—not as window dressing, but to add clarity and readability to the different parts of each chapter in the book.

l Appealing visuals. Because so many students today are visual learners, a photograph or other illustration has been added to each reading to help engage students’ interest.

l New third-person writing assignments. Half of the paragraph assignments and half of the essay assignments are first-person; the other half of the assignments are third-person. Many of these include suggestions for Internet research, thereby permitting students to become familiar with using Google and other search engines to gather material for a paper.

l A new unit on the research paper. Unit Six contains material on writing a research paper with sources, as well as a sample research paper in MLA format.

When Nick returned home from the war in Afghanistan blinded by a bomb, he knew his life would never be the same. In so many ways, Nick would have to start all over again, and he wasn’t certain he could do it. When Nick’s friends slowly stopped coming by to see him, Nick fell into a sadness that threatened to destroy all his hopes. He wanted to give up. But one very special person refused to give up on Nick.

Words to Watch

rivulet (4): small streamIED (6): improvised explosive device, a homemade roadside bomb that caused significant casualties in Iraq and Afghanistanapprehension (8): fearsufficiently (23): enough

When Nick boarded the bus, everyone looked at him. A few people shook their heads in pity. It didn’t seem right that such a young man should have so much trouble climbing the three short steps up to the bus aisle.

“Why does that man have that white stick?” a small girl asked her mother loudly.

“Shh!” the mother said quickly. “It’s not polite to talk about him, honey. He’s blind.”

But Nick had heard the little girl. In fact, he could feel everyone’s eyes on him even though he couldn’t see them. Using his cane, Nick carefully measured

the height of each step. Gripping the handrail with white knuckles, he slowly made his way to the aisle. Then he used his hands to feel his way. Gratefully, Nick eased into the first set of seats reserved for the disabled. A thin rivulet° of sweat trickled down Nick’s forehead, and his hands shook.

Okay. Relax. Nick tried to calm himself down. You’ll be all right. You’ll make it.

Nick, barely 22, had been blind for just over a year. During a tour of duty in Afghanistan, the vehicle Nick had been riding in had run over an IED°. Nick remembered a bright flash, a
