Chunky Paragraph (CNN) by Dogun Hong

   The recent conflict between North and South Korea is relieving however, I feel that there will be a steady tension between the two countries. "Pyongyang expressed regret over the serious injuries suffered by two South Korean soldiers in landmine blasts in the DMZ, and Seoul agreed to switch off the loudspeakers pumping propaganda broadcasts over the border Tuesday, both sides said. (Mullen 1) " With the agreement of South Korea shutting down the loudspeakers, I believe that it was something that they had to do. Two South Korean soldiers were severely injured due to the land mine blasts in the gates between the two country. The military of the North is twice as big as South Korea, with 1.19 million arming forces, 21,100 artillery pieces, and 72 submarines the North has almost twice as much in each of those categories. Due to this advantage of numbers for North Korea, I believe that the tensions will be high.With the tensions so high, it is going to be hard for those two countries to come to a peaceful decision. North Korea has agreed on easing their tension with South Korea as a result of lifting their "semi war-state". (Paraphrase of paragraph 15) Another agreement made between the two countries. I feel that South Korea would feel a bit of relieve after the response of North Korea agreeing to lift its "semi-war state," which means that North Korea will ease the tension for a little while. Relieving the both sides on their small conflict that had happened. As a result, the incident of the land mine caused a few relieves due to the agreements made afterwards.
