A Dialectical Model for College Composition.
Zeiger, William
Freshman English News, v16 n2 p14-16 Fall 1987
Presents the dialectical model, in which a thesis gives rise to an antithesis, thus creating the need for a synthesis, as an alternative to thesis-support structured compositions. Claims that the dialectical model's demand for an antithesis urges writers to look past the limits of prejudice and custom. (MM)
