Already one of the poorest countries within the western hemisphere, Haiti, was hi by an earth quake three years ago. On the anniversary of this natural disaster Haiti's president Michel Martelly speaks on how the government has only received one third of the aid that was pledged. Not only do people in Haiti continue to live under even worse conditions than previously, but more natural disasters along with disease outbreaks have occurred and rising crime. The very first sentence of the article the country and president's ethos is established, as it gives an indirect quote about what little the country has received. It is clear that president has an upset tone and feels slightly hopeless for his country. Realizing the status of a country like Haiti, the article as a whole appeals to pathos truly trying to get the audience to understand the countries position.
