Differences between Missing in Sydney AND Alien Alert in Seattle Stories

In this week’s blog I will compare and contrast Missing in Sydney and Alien Alert in Seattle. These stories have differences and similarities

Differences

These stories have a lot of differences like the events, setting, and characters. In Missing in Sydney, Lisa is kidnapped by somebody. Her friends, Claire and Amy want to find Lisa and call the police. However in Alien Alert in Seattle aliens want to teach us and I think Aliens want to learn if we are fighting with aliens. 'Suddenly the newsreader said, Alien Alert! Early this morning there was a report of an unidentified flying object near the Cascade Mountains east of Seattle. Two tourists saw a UFO in the sky above them. They said it was gray and round' (p. 10). Another difference is Alien Alert in Seattle is not real but Missing in Sydney is very close the real.

Similarities

In these two stories there are more differences than similarities. I think one of the similarities is character’s ages. In both of the stories’ characters are teenager and they are student. ‘My name’s Karen Nielsen and I’m fifteen years old’ (p. 10). Another similarity between Missing in Sydney to Alien Alert in Seattle. In Missing in Sydney Claire and Amy want to find who kidnapped her. In Alien Alert in Seattle, Karen and her friends want to solve the mystery of alien. ‘My story beings in August a month before school started. My parents and I were having breakfast in the kitchen and we were watching the local news on the television.’ (p. 10).
