Both of these articles gave a lot of useful information on my topic. They had some similarities and differences in their structure and content.
I will first discuss their similarities. They both were written formally. You could tell each author knew what they were talking about and had a lot of experience with the subject, but at the same time it was not difficult to understand. Each article talked about health concerns for homeless people. Another similarity in their content is that they both started out with a list of statistics to introduce their topic so the reader can better understand the information. They both had a title and listed the author as well.
Even thought there were some similarities between the articles, I think they had a lot more differences. I will first discuss their differences in structure. The scholarly journal was about 10 pages while the popular magazine article was a little more than one page. The scholarly journal had an abstract and containe headings. The popular magazine article had neither of these things. The scholary journal had a list of references at the end, while the magazine did not. As for the differences in the content I did not see as much. The journal article was written to show the results of a study conducted and was very in depth while the magazine article was just giving facts on a certain topic and did not go into great detail about it. I could see that the magazine article was maybe written to catch a person's attention while the journal article was soley written to inform people of results.
I think overall both of these articles are very useful to my research. They are both very different, but valuable information can be taken from both of them.
