The Daily Mail has used this story line as front page to engage the reader. They have done this by the image of the little girl as it portrays an innocent kind girl while on the right is a picture of a teenager who looks extremely happy to see her biggest star. This engage the reader as you are focused on the happy faces of these children but then you see the headline which shows that the girls have lost their life's. The Daily Mail has used a short sentence to emphasise the effect that this attack has has one people. Rather than the lives of the people who died or who where there this article effects the reader as well as by using the short sentence 'young girls at a pop concert with everything to live for'. This short sentence has an effect on the reader as its making you realise what has actually happened because you see the innocent young girls but also you see 'pop concert' in big letters and don't expect what actually happened to be with something that seems so normal.

The Guardian This newspaper story is the same as the second one. However it has a lot of differences that draws the reader in, not only on the story but on the use of words. The Guardian has used more powerful and dramatic words to describe the story rather than the daily mail. The images of the Daily Mail newspaper stood out the most however, for the Guardian the headline stands out the most because of its powerful words. They have used the verb 'stolen' to show how dramatic the story actually is. Also, stolen is a very selfish verb therefore it shows that whoever  has taken these innocent girls away has taken them for you reason and the reader knows your not getting them back. The main story from this newspaper has stated that that lives have been stolen by terrorists. The Guardian newspaper has seen to use a very short sentence for the headline which could emphasise how short the girls lives was and who else that lost their lives during the attack. Rather than the Daily Mail which was a short sentence followed by a long one which made the pictures stand out more of the children however, the Guardian use of language draws the reader in instantly.
