Haiti In Crisis Analysis

“Choose a life format that is the most desirable to you”(Redhead). In The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, their community is a utopia that provides them many resources, including food, families, education, clothes, jobs, and many other helpful items.

He knows the truths and lies about the community, and he knows what the generations before him have experienced. In Haiti, the nation was forced to pay what is now $23 billion (Brown & Smith). This is now putting an effect on their country because if they do not have the money, they can not rebuild nearly anything again. The nation is not able to pay for any education, which impacts everyone very much. If they do not have the education, they can not read the alerts for evacuation. Making sure that
