The Mourning Anchor

I think "The Mourning Anchor" deserves to be considered as a great piece of journalism. He does a great job of showing Bryant Gumble's thinking that everyone needs to be as good as his father. Reilly is able to show this by spending a lot of time with Gumble and those who know him. He shows both sides to all of Gumble's feuds with other people including his own wife. He shows the readers the whole in Gumble's life without his father and how someone can have such a great personality on the outside, but an extremely messed up heart on the inside. Reilly does a good job in showing how this attitude affects Gumble's actions. It makes you feel sorry for him, but also disgusted by him at the same time, which is pretty cool.
