U.S. and South Korea Sign Plan to Counter North

This article focuses on the relationship between the U.S. and South Korea in terms of threats and attacks issued by North Korea. Author Choe Sang-Hun stays focused and serious when discussing a topic that requires serious and thoughtful input. The piece is not opinionated and filled with logos which is key in his delivery of portions of the agreement signed by the U.S. and South Korea. The author uses quotations in writing the piece in order to present trustworthy and relevant information. Sang-Hun quotes both the U.S. and South Korea in their joint statement, “‘By completing this plan, we improved our combined readiness posture to allow us to immediately and decisively respond to any North Korean provocation.’” Sang-Hun also discusses the signing of the agreement, stating that it followed a number of threats. This places a sense of urgency in the readers mind, reminding them that some order of action must be taken against North Korea.  Sang-Hun does not seem to make a proper conclusion to his article reflecting the unending threat that we presently seem to be facing.
