This course has turned into one of my favorites of all time and it is undeniable that one of the core reasons for that is the Norton Reader.

Even if it's not part I have to use the Norton Reader for my AP English Language & Composition course. It not only gives access to various writing styles but also helps readers develop opinions and knowledge on worldly issues from yesterday, today, and of tomorrow. The diverse, timely, and thought provoking essays in this collection have been so insightful.
