The Articles to Investigate
The two news articles under consideration tell us about Barack Obama’s trip to India. Though both of the articles are on the same exact topic: the historical visit of the United States’ President to India in order to establish mutually beneficial relationships there still are the differences in the authors’ views on the issues. Depending on the own opinions the two authors Julianna Goldman and Sheryl Gay Stolberg recreated events differently, including different issues in order to show the character and the outcome of the President’s travel. The two news letter authors described the events amazingly accurately. This is the main criteria to estimate the relevance of the articles to the pint of discussion.
Paper’s Focus
Needless to say, the attitude of the author plays the main role in the perception of the information presented. However, the foremost point that is to be stressed is that the difference of one and the same event depicted lies in choice of issues authors describe in their works. Namely, this paper will talk about how the lack of information influences the overall impression from the information told. Of course, the tone of the written works will also be unveiled.
Obama Backs Indian Bid for Permanent U.N. Security Council Seat
So, the article called ‘Obama Backs Indian Bid for Permanent U.N. Security Council Seat’ does discuss the ultimate purpose of the US President to acquire mutually beneficial relationship between the United State of America and India. The article explicitly praises American President and everything that he had been doing in India for the past three day visit. It is sort of report of everything done for the nation as a representative of the US. The main purpose of the article is to show the President’s best tries to perform the US as the helper to build a democratic, economically empowered, and strategic partner that is India. The leading idea is also that Barack Obama has ensured a bid of India to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The language used is extremely official, there are many quotes extracted from the President’s speech, and the overall impression about the professional charges the head of the government fulfills is pleasant.
Obama Backs India for Seat on Security Council
The second article under consideration is ‘Obama Backs India for Seat on Security Council’ by Sheryl Gay Stolberg. In the piece of this writing the difference is visible to the naked eye. The President’s efforts to establish economically beneficial relations with India and back it up in Security Council sounds nothing more than just a mere twaddle. There is no doubt in such an impression because the language and tone chosen for description are imposing enough. Besides, there are some facts drawn in order to prove that the speech given on the third day of India’s visit is just the idle talk. Although the members of the parliament greeted the speech with prolonged applauses it is hard to say that the speech was enough for actions to be taken. “But neither the president nor his top advisers offered a timetable for how long it would take to reform the council, or specifics about what steps the United States would take to do so.” (Goldberg. S.G.)
Conclusion
So, the two articles under consideration discussed the ten days’ visit of the US President to the countries of Asia, namely a third day in India and the speech given to the Indian parliament. Both pieces of writing claimed the President’s attempt to get India enrolled in the Security Council by providing a back up. However, the most interesting part is that Julianna Goldman (and James Rupert) had just a slight hint on the impracticability of the claimed offer in short period, whereas the other author unearthed the transparent hint on the issue being unable to come true: “… will be a complicated endeavor that will require the cooperation of other countries and could easily take years.” (Stolberg S. G.)
