A three year old Indian boy by the name of Gurshan Singh was reported missing by his parents. During the time he was missing, they were on a vacation near the Melbourne area. Later on, Gurshan was found dead on the side of a road that was near the place he was staying in. The Australian police are investigating this death, and their treating it as a "suspicious" death. Many people, especially people in India, are jumping into conclusions and claiming that this death was related to the several racist attacks on Indians for the past year. People in India are protesting about putting an end into these racist violence. The last racist attack was in January, when a 21 year old boy was stabbed to death on his way to a burger restraunt. Officers are denying that Gurshans death is not related to the past racist attacks, and officers are urging people not to create a motive because there is still no conclusion on how the boy died, they are still investigating.
 * Summary**:

The news article from BBC is really good, the details were clear, it was very easy to understand, and their pictures gave me a clear understanding of what was going on. Al Jazeera's article was also fairly well, there were same details from the BBC article, but I felt that Al Jazeera had a better and more detailed description about the past and how Gurshans death is related to the past racist attacks. In BBC, they said that his death was related to the past Indian attacks the past year, and in Al Jazeera, they claimed that this death is related to past Indian students in Australia the past recent months. The length of the articles were fairly the same, and their titles were relevant to their article.
 * Compare and Contrast**:

My opinion about these sources are that they are very easy to understand, not confusing at all, and they provide a nice detail and visual for the readers to comprehend. My opinion about this event is that this is truly a sad and horrifying thing. To think that an innocent 3 year old boy to be possibly murdered all because of racism is just terrifying. If he was to be murdered because of racism, I would agree that India has every right to protest and everyone in the world should do the same to stop racist violence.
