1. Headline: "Red Carpet Trends of the Past 15 Years."
Byline: Eric Wilson

2. This article explains how the dresses celebrities wear constantly transforms over the years. The article also includes many pictures of the different hairstyles and dresses as well.

3. A. There are no interviews in this story. This story was solely based on opinions and observations. The lack of interviews made the story boring and very dry. A great example of this is when it states "Ah, the anticipation of all the frocks has come to play as significant a role at the Oscars as who goes home with an award."
B. The vocabulary was very easy to understand. The sentences were flabby and wordy. An example of this is when it states "For instance, of more than 400 gowns categorized by shape, designer and color, the most popular style over the years has been strapless, with a total of 127 examples."

C. There were no direct quotations.

4. A. The lead was okay. The lead explained how when it comes to award shoes everyone is anxious to know the designers of the gowns.
B. The nut graph was okay as well. It explained that The New York Times found photographs of the gowns from over the years.
C. The ending was extremely weak. The ending just explained how some of the outfits stood out and that was it.
D. The story organization was extremely weak because they did not have a list of the designers that created the dresses or interviews from the celebrities. The sentences were terrible.

5. I disliked everything about this piece.
