Write three or four paragraphs analyzing and evaluating how Jones supports his judgment while balancing it by acknowledging other positions:

1. Reread the title and the first two paragraphs of the essay. How do the title and the opening two paragraphs set up the two items to be evaluated and begin to anticipate the author’s judgment, as well as alternative judgments?

2. Jones chooses to adopt the role of detached spectator (one of the possible authorial roles in observational writing) as he compares DaVinci and Rembrandt. What advantages and disadvantages do you see in this role as he evaluates the artists and their works? Can you imagine a way he may have taken on the role of participant observer given the subject of his piece?

3. What reasonable evidence (a feature of position arguments) does Jones use to support his evaluative argument? How effective do you think his evidence is?
