In "PM's wife crusades against bullies", Kamal Ahmed starts the article by writing about Cherie Booth receiving a letter from the mother of a bully-victim. Kamal explains the situation and Cherie's reaction from a third-person perspective. Where in the article "Together, we can beat the bullies" we are told the story from Cherie Booth's point of view. She explains her own reaction and dismay to her newfound knowledge and she furthermore explains her decision to act against bullying.
In general Kamal's way of writing about the topic is very objective and cold. Not to think that Kamal is a cold person but the way his article is written is very observing and doesn't involve any personal feelings. That is one of the largest differences between the two articles, because Cherie Booth writes with her own thoughts and emotions in her pen and she relates very subjective to the topic itself.
The content of the articles also differ very much from one another. In Kamal Ahmed's article, the main subject is Emma's situation and it's actually only the first few lines that is about Cherie Booth. Also the only way that we know that Cherie Booth is doing something to prevent bullying is from the title of the article. Lastly in Kamal's article we are met with a few well-known people that have also been bullied as a child. In Cherie Booth's article the main subject is bullying in general and how to save the tormented children.
