Thirty-five years of teaching experience with high school and college students lead to the creation of this easy-to-follow and understand grammar and literature textbook. Grammar is a Destination, by Bonnie Ronson, can be used for composition, literature, and compensatory English courses. The text covers the standard conventions of English and writing patterns and includes 27 stories. Most of the 112 exercises have been written using factual information, promoting across-the-curriculum learning. Some of the readings have questions to prompt discussions and/or writing assignments. Traditional readings include “The Necklace”, “The Lady or the Tiger”, “The Masque of the Red Death”, “The Monkey’s Paw”, “The Story of an Hour”, Trifles, “A Worn Path”, “The Lottery”, “The Tell Tale Heart”, “A Horseman in the Sky”, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”, and “The Yellow Wallpaper”.
