Demonstrate to me that you've read this piece and understand it thoroughly. Do this by answering the following prompts using complete sentences:

  1. Explain, in detail, to someone who has never read this, what it is about.
  2. Explain, in detail, to someone else who has a knowledge of how journalism "works," why Sheeler was effective or ineffective in his portrayal of this service.
  3. Explain why, in your opinion, Sheeler did or did not deserve to win the Pulitzer Prize for this piece.

Again, be thorough. Make sure that I KNOW that you truly read this piece and understand it.
