The two newspaper articles that I found came from The Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Sun-Times. Basically, the point of these two articles was to say that there were three engineers that are facing disciplinary action because they let a 18 year old drive the Metra train. Even though the articles had the same point they were written extremely different. For one, the article from The Chicago Tribune was extremely longer and the reporter seemed as if she felt some pity for the 18 year old. This was the headline that the reporter from the Chicago Tribune: "teen at center of Metra scandal was aspiring engineer." In her story she gave tons of quotes and almost gave a history about the teenager. She said that as a small boy he used to like see the trains pass by. He used to get lucky when they used to wave at him and he got a chance to talk to the engineers. The reporter probably felt some compassion with the boy or wanted readers to feel something for the boy. Since he had commited a crime against Metra, they said that it would be very unlikely for him to ever have a job with them. As a result, it shattered his dreams. On the other hand, the article from the Chicago Sun-Times said, ""Obviously this is unacceptable. This is a serious matter." That article tried to make it seem like he should be accountable to the fullest extent of the law. This proves how people have different views and they may be telling the same story but throughout their writing they can show how they feel about what their saying.
