Trouble in Paradise

British journalist, Alex Finnis gives traveling advice in Indonesia after an earthquake hits the country. Reading through the article it appears his main persuasive tools to help determine whether people should travel is his use of pathos and logos. He begins stating facts, that while true, may promote fear in those who had previously wished to visit. While being logical, he puts fear in the minds of readers.  Besides talking about the earthquake, he also mentions Indonesia containing multiple volcanoes, which "can erupt with little or no warning" (Finnis). By using these horrific facts, he appears to encourage readers to avoid a trip to Indonesia for the time being.
