AUTHOR (Who is writing? Based on the writer’s education, credentials, and\/or experience, how credible is the information or argument? Given the writer\u2019s background, what are his\/her potential biases or preferences?): Wayne D Shirley, a manuscript librarian in the Library of Congress music department<\/p>\n
DISCOURSE ( How does this article respond to scholarly problems or participate in a scholarly conversation? How does the article emphasize that response or participation? Try to find particular paragraphs, sentence, or footnotes that draw attention to the article\u2019s position vis-\u00e0-vis other articles\/scholars.): Antheil’s Correspondence with Mary Curtis Bok. Bok was the founder of a conservatory of music, Antheil was in his early 20s at the time.<\/p>\n
ARGUMENT (What is the main argument put forth in the article? How is that argument highlighted or emphasized,
\nwhether towards the beginning of the article or at various times throughout?: Discusses the relationship between Antheil and Bok.<\/p>\n
EVIDENCE (What did you find to be the most convincing evidence in support of the main argument, and why? Which evidence seemed less convincing, and why?): By far the most convincing evidence is the transcribed personal letters, since they were written at the time by the people in question, and thus are pretty ironclad.<\/p>\n
ORGANIZATION ( Analyze the structure of the article by writing a few words or a sentence to describe the purpose ofa few paragraphs throughout. (In other words, don\u2019t just focus on the first or last few paragraphs; once you\u2019ve read through the whole thing, pick a paragraph or three out of each section to diagram.): It is organized as letters, which makes sense, since it comes from the original letters that were sent between Antheil and Bok.<\/p>\n
STYLE (What can we say about \u201cstyle\u201d in this article? Could the writing have been otherwise? How effective are the quotes, the images, the score examples, and the listening examples at engaging and persuading the reader?: The style is that of formal letters. They are not casually written, and it is clear that Antheil and Bok were not friends at the time they wrote these letters.<\/p>\n
