In the text Doyle states, “To drive those metabolisms they have race-car hearts that eat oxygen at an eye-popping rate” (Doyle 3). Doyle uses hyperbole to show how fast the hummingbird’s heart absorbs oxygen so they’re metabolism can function properly. (Xylyan)

In the text Doyle states, “You burn out. You fry the machine. You melt the engine” (Doyle, 3). Doyle uses a metaphor to show how fast hummingbirds live their lives. (Xylyan)

In the text Brian Doyle says “Every creature on earth has approximately two billion heartbeats to spend in a lifetime. You can spend them slowly, like a tortoise and live

to be two hundred years old, or you can spend them fast, like a hummingbird, and live to be two years old ".(Doyle 3) Although humans, tortoises, and hummingbirds are different species, we are the same when it comes to living our lives. Humans can live their lives on the edge like hummingbirds, or live their lives slow and steady like the tortoise. (Justin)

Contrast- “No living being is without interior liquid motion. We all churn inside.”(Doyle 5). Like all living things have interior liquid motion that churn inside us, the only thing different is the type of creature we are and how we feel. -Scott

In paragraph 5 the author declares a figurative language by saying “Unicellular bacteria have no heart at all; but even they have fluid eternally in motion, washing from one side of the cell to the other, swirling and whirling, He uses Onomatopoeia in the paragraph by saying the fluid be swirling and whirling inside of the organism of animals.(Josh)

An expression of passion

Figurative Language- hearts are finally bruised and scarred, discord and torn. This is an alliteration because your heart can get bruised, scarred or torn from your experiences in life. (Ej and Natalie)

Contrast- In the text Doyle states that “You can brick up your heart as stout and tight and hard and cold and impregnable as you possibly can and down it comes in an instant, felled by a woman’s second glance, a child’s apple breath, the shatter of glass in the road, the words I have something to tell you, a cat with a broken spine dragging itself onto the forest to die, the brush of your mother’s papery ancient hand in the thicket of your hair, the memory of your father’s voice early in the morning echoing from the kitchen where he is making pancakes for the children” (Doyle, 6). As humans our emotions can tend to get the best of us from past experiences that could make us coldhearted or a coldhearted person to the point we won't or don't care about nothing that is happening.(Treasure)
