(I said: Thesis statement, Topic sentences (with bullet points) and a conclusion
Headlines and Subheadings: The heading is not specifically mentioned in the magazine cover which doesn't give readers clarity upon the actual theme or the title of the magazine. Moreover, the subheading does specify how does technology helps physicians to listen to patients's heart.
News Worthiness: The magazine connects with the real life scenario by linking biological thoughts and emotions a human being.
Quotations:
Source: The source is credible as the date of publish, copyright permission, name of source have been mentioned.
Facts: The author has described the various functions of human body and has claimed about different biological terminologies. 
Context: The magazine specifically focuses on describing the heart phenomena and how has physicians experimented with heart before and after stethoscopes were invented. ]]> 2020-10-12 08:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vaidehifiji/12thOctober2020/wish/821074438 12J https://padlet.com/vaidehifiji/12thOctober2020/wish/821124942 Thesis Statement - The author is able to combine his professional and childhood experiences through the usage of several literary features like allusion, flashback, tone and mood in order to provide information while keeping the reader enthralled.

Published on 6th March 2014. 
auditory imagery 
Analogy- writer compares the entire process using the example of water bodies.
Uses anecdotes to establish a connection, generally very personal 
Italics used for bio terminology 
Provides a sequence of events, detailed
Compares with a simile, ‘like’
Alliteration- over the oceanic 
Almost like a conversation, informal tone, personal pronouns 
 
The writer uses devices like similes and imagery along with anecdotes to puts forta a justification for his preference of traditional medical practice, specifically with regard to detecting a heartbeat and measuring the flow of blood. (Awesome!)
