In this article the author William Neuman talks about the election that was held in Venezuela. According to the writer, this election is a different one since for the first time people are in doubt of who is going to be the next president. Since 1999 the president is Hugo Chavez, and the new challenger of this year is Capriles Randoski. Even though Mr. Chavez is anti imperalist and gives little independence to Venezuelans, he has won the elections throughout these years due to his strong campaign which made the poor areas loyal to him. The author then goes on by explaining the reasons for the people's anxiety caused by the election. The anxiety is caused on them not only because there is a chance of a change happening in their government, but also because the government might use the new election system which tracks the people that go against the president. Then Neuman ends the article by quoting some people from an interview, about vote of different people.
The purpose of the article is to inform and report to the readers the first change that might come in the Venezuelan government since 1999. Since it's been a long time that Mr Chavez is ruling the country, this election is being a huge deal to the Venezuelans and also to the Americans since Venezuela is a great oil supply to them (Mr Chavez was stopping this trade, so it's better to the Americans, for him to stop his presidency). The anxiety is taking place all around the world, and the writer does a good job on explaining the happening in Venezuela with great diction and details.
