Doyle establishes a sympathetic tone for the readers of “Joyas Voladares”- and audience of formerly shattered hearts being sewn back together. ]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278362 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278365 Throughout the entire text Brian Doyle uses logos to explain facts about theses different animals and creatures, and how their body and anatomy works, such as the hummingbird and how "they can dive at sixty miles an hour. They can fly backwards. They can fly more than five hundred miles without pausing to rest". Then comparing this to a blue whale and tortoise this allows the reader to compare these different animals, but later find their similarities through the heart. Doyle's use of pathos, to evoke a sense of vulnerability within the reader, emphasizes the heart is "bruised and scarred, scored and torn, repaired by time and will, patched by force of character, yet fragile and rickety forevermore" and then goes on to describe different feelings we have experienced in order to bring up a feeling of nostalgia and allow the reader to reminisce on these past events or stories to demonstrate what the heart can do.]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278365 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278368 - The authors use of personification when talking about the heart and how "we open windows to each but we live alone in the house of the heart" emphasizing the idea that people make their own choices and further exemplify the need to make memories and experiences.
- Doyle further exemplifies this idea of choice through similes and repetition, demonstrating we only have a limited amount of heartbeats, so "[we] can spend them slowly, like a tortoise and live to be two hundred years old, or [we] can spend them fast, like a hummingbird, and live to be two years old.". This supports the purpose by emphasizing no matter the size of the heart, it can hold just as many experiences and memories.
-  The use of a simile, metaphor, and imagery demonstrates the heart of a blue whale is "as big as a room. It is a room, with four chambers. A child could walk around it, head high, bending only to step through the valves." emphasizing again no matter the size of the heart, it can still hold different past memories and stories.
- To reveal the importance of friendship, Doyle points out that "the animals with the largest hearts in the world generally travel in pairs", further demonstrating the love different size hearts feel  and what they experience with others.
- Anaphora is used to relate the hummingbirds heart to humans emphasizing "[they] burn out. [they] fry the machine. [they] melt the engine." By using that connection, Doyle exemplifies the need to use each heartbeat resourcefully, while also creating memories.]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278368 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278369 - Exemplification is used to explain how the heart of the hummingbird works and the same for the blue whale.
-  The author contrasts the different animal's hearts, how they work, and their anatomy. 
- His use of description in the last paragraph is used to describe different experiences and memories we possess and how in the end everyone are alone, so they need to cherish life  ]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278369 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278372 Throughout the essay, Doyle keeps and very understanding tone.  Two great words to describe his tone is benevolent or sympathetic meaning he is very caring and understanding towards other people and their situations when he talks about every individual having their own past and their own stories within their hearts.  Doyle shifts his tone towards the end in the very last paragraph.  He goes from talking in a more serious tone when talking about animals to a more sympathetic tone when talking about humans.  The tone impacts the audience in a positive way and really helps the audience become more understanding of other people and their situations.  The first line of the last paragraph “so much can be held in a heart in a lifetime” , is a great example of the overall tone.   It opens up the readers mind and helps the reader understand his point of view.  Another great two sentences where Doyle attempts to get across the tone to the reader if where he compares the humming bird heart to “the size of a pencil eraser” to the “biggest heart in the world” being the blue whale.  This allows people to take into perspective that it isn’t the size of someone’s heart but the truths it holds.  ]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278372 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278376 The purpose of “Joyas Voladares” by Brian Doyle is to demonstrate how humans are able to love each other and along with that, live separate lives.  Doyle compares each of these specific animals and their heartbeats to represent the way one lives their life.  He uses both the whale and the humming bird to represent that any size heart can hold equal amount of love, stories, and experiences within a lifetime. His reason for using these examples is to communicate that not everyone has the same stories and that each heart holds a different past. Doyle’s intention in sharing this is to create awareness about the situation and to not judge people off of what they may look like or how they may act.]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278376 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278378 The audience of Brian Doyle’s “Joyas Voladares”, is those who are desperate for love.  He supports this because towards the end Doyle mentions opening windows for our hearts and letting that other person in.  Doyle talks about how humans open their hearts up at such a young age, as they get older it only gets harder because throughout life their hearts have been so “bruised and scarred, scorn and torn” by others we open up to.  Some hearts have been so abused it makes it more difficult for them to open up than others.]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278378 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278380 The author's reason for writing this is to persuade his audience to experience thing in life with the limited amount of time and heartbeats given and fill the heart with these experiences and memories. He exemplifies how different animals, including humans, relate and finds the similarities within all of these animals.  ]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278380 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278382 To the audience, Brian Doyle presents himself as a very well educated person overall.  Doyle grew up with a rough childhood, a father who suffered from alcohol abuse and a mother who mentally couldn’t keep up with him and his mentally challenged sister.  When Doyle talks about hearts breaking and being torn apart at such young ages, the audience can assume some of what that may mean based on his childhood.  Doyle was most likely a very positive person, taking the traumas he went through as a child and having a positive outlook on them, stating in his essay that life is whatever it is lived up to be.  It is up to someone as an individual to determine how to live their life. ]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278382 spatel8845 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278383 “Joyas Voladares” by Brian Doyle was written on June 12, 2012 in order to influence the world about life and spreading love to others. ]]> 2020-09-16 16:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/752278383 vhutzler7246 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759542742 2020-09-18 16:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759542742 vhutzler7246 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759556920 2020-09-18 16:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759556920 vhutzler7246 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759569406 2020-09-18 16:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759569406 vhutzler7246 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759596239 2020-09-18 17:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759596239 vhutzler7246 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759613148 2020-09-18 17:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759613148 vhutzler7246 https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759762772 2020-09-18 17:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/spatel8845/kiy4j9y5dnkw9fj2/wish/759762772
