The author supports this assertion by comparing the size of a hummingbirds heart to a whales heart, revealing the causes of death , and by exemplifying the number of chambers within different creatures. The authors purpose is to make his readers aware of how valuable time is in order to help readers determine their future. Doyle speaks in a reflective tone to establish the importance of cherishing the moments in ones life.]]> 2020-09-16 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854090 imartinezem3140 https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854095 Doyle utilizes all three appeals in the chronological order of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. First, Ethos is heavily used in the following text evidence, "Joyas voladoras, flying jewels, the first white explorers in the Americas called them, and the white men had never seen such creatures, for hummingbirds came into the world only in the Americas, nowhere else in the universe," (Doyle 1). This is true because immediately in the first paragraph the writer is seen as a credible source on Hummingbirds by mentioning their interesting background which can influence the audience to confidently believe what Doyle is saying throughout the passage. Second, he uses Logos in the next quotation, "Hummingbirds, like all flying birds but more so, have incredible enormous immense ferocious metabolisms. To drive those metabolisms they have race-car hearts that eat oxygen at an eye-popping rate. Their hearts are built of thinner, leaner fibers than ours." (Doyle 3). His inclusion of Logos in the above quotation helps the audience find an immediate interest in his text because of the countless facts stated on Hummingbirds. This entirely persuades the reader to continue reading on in order to learn more about the significance of the Hummingbird in this passage. Also, Doyle is simply able to get his point across to the reader on how the Hummingbird is compared to Humans when it comes to their hearts, all based off of facts and logic. Last, the following text evidence includes Pathos, "No living being is without interior liquid motion. We all churn inside." (Doyle 5). Doyle is using Pathos in the above quotation by evoking a relatable and deep feeling of slight depression inside the audience through his words. This eventually causes the reader to realize the knowledge of not being alone in this world when it comes to being hurt inside by someone or something else. Him stating that every human churns inside is able to make the reader feel some emotion of sorrow as well and influences the reader to follow along with the text.]]> 2020-09-16 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854095 imartinezem3140 https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854096 The author uses a metaphor to compare "A hummingbird’s heart is the size of a pencil eraser"(1) to exemplify how even though a hummingbirds heart is so small it functions just the same as another being. Doyles use of metaphors emphasizes the idea of how a heart could look different but can contain the same feelings through his facts and knowledge of different creatures. Comparing hearts to everyday objects lets the reader have a better understanding of what he is trying to say.

Doyle's use of simile is used to emphasize how big the heart by stating that, " It’s as big as a room. It is a room, with four chambers"(3). This information is important because it makes it easier for the readers to comprehend the size of a whale's heart. He indicates that it is a room with four chambers just like a human does, revealing how a human feels towards something or someone is comparable to a whales. 

Anaphora is used to explain how "You burn out. You fry the machine. You melt the engine"(3). This relates to the purpose by emphasizing the idea of living life to the fullest and cherishing those moments whether they are good or bad. Doyle uses these terms to create a strong emphasis of how  time goes by fast and one must remember how once its gone it'll never come back.  It contributes back to the argument by indicating the differences in time and heart size for animals. This lets the reader make realizations of their life and how others are as well.

The use of simile explains that with life, "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"(3). This quote emphasizes how precious life is and tries to make it more understandable by comparing the lifespan of a hummingbird and a turtle. Doyle uses this comparison to advise the readers to choose the path of a turtle rather than a hummingbird . He hopes for the audience to use time wisely for life and be able experience the good and bad in life.

Doyle’s use of asyndeton is used to describe how “...all hearts finally are ​bruised and scarred, scored and torn, repaired by time and will, patched...”(6) This is important because it identifies the relations between people and how although many have different experiences , a heart could become damaged. This allows the reader to establish the hardships many will have to go through in one's lifetime. Doyle presents the obstacles and pain many go through with the use of asyndeton . This device helps emphasize the idea Doyle is trying to get readers to understand and hope to make this message memorable.]]> 2020-09-16 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854096 imartinezem3140 https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854099 The organizational patterns that Brian Doyle uses in his text are Definition, Process Analysis, and Classification and Division. Doyle applies Definition around the beginning of the first paragraph by extending on his definition of the term "joyas voladoras". He extends on how the "flying jewels" came into the world, who gave them the name "joyas voladoras", how many of them came into the world, and what their little hearts are capable of. Process Analysis appears near the beginning of the second paragraph since Doyle is deeply analyzing the process of how Hummingbirds die once they are unable to find enough nectar for their bodies/hearts. Classification and Division is revealed throughout the majority of the passage owing to the fact that Doyle divides the Hummingbird and the Whale into their own sections of the text, while at the same time classifying them by their different hearts and lifespan.]]> 2020-09-16 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854099 imartinezem3140 https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854100 In the beginning of the essay Doyle writes in an informative tone when stating how hummingbirds "visit a thousand flowers a day. They can dive at sixty miles an hour. They can fly backwards. They can fly more than five hundred miles without pausing to rest.."(2) He speaks in this tone to encourage the audience to use this information to make connections throughout the text. He uses several facts  and statistics to make it more understandable and interesting for the readers. There's a shift in tone from the beginning to being informative to a reflective tone clarifying that "No living being is without interior liquid motion. We all churn inside"(5). This emphasizes the idea that no matter what someone has experienced or what differences they have inside them, everyone has gone through obstacles and hardships. The shift in tone from beginning to end is to have the readers understand how all living things can relate mentally and continues with that idea by exemplifying the difficulties in life that can be experienced by several others. These tones hope to encourage the audience to consider the feelings of their own as well as others.

The reason Doyle wrote this piece is to induce the audience to live in every moment of their lives after having listened to the text. Brian Doyle's intention is simply to allow the reader to experience the different types of life and love through his writing.]]> 2020-09-16 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854101 imartinezem3140 https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854103 Doyle is trying to reach an audience of humans that don't know the importance of truly living in every moment throughout life. This is proven to be true since Doyle mainly mentions in the passage how humans are allowed to decide whether they want to live slow or fast throughout their own lives. The audience relates to the subject of life and love because humans can do both however they so choose.]]> 2020-09-16 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854103 imartinezem3140 https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854104 The catalyst that influenced Brian Doyle to write ' Joyas Voladares" was his son. His son was born missing a chamber in his heart. It provoked a storm of emotion for Brian Doyle. This allowed the author to come to a realization about how there are many different sizes and shapes of hearts. From his experiences, he was able to write a piece to try and demonstrate how precious life is. He uses several examples in the text to ensure that the readers will understand the message he is trying to state.]]> 2020-09-16 18:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854104 imartinezem3140 https://padlet.com/imartinezem3140/pa8gvs0qfu1e2axg/wish/752854108 The speaker/writer is Brian Doyle who is an award winning author and essayist, and is the editor of Portland which is a magazine known for publishing the work of fine writers. Doyle expresses a deep faith and interest in Catholicism throughout his work. The text has a particular meaning to the writer because his son, Liam, came close to dying from a congenital heart condition which has an emotional relation to Doyle's topic on hearts throughout his passage. The author presents himself through the text by writing the text as if he was speaking to the reader. It reveals that he wants others to be able to connect with the text and understand the message he is trying to convey. Doyle is speaking on behalf of human life as well as nature. The main message in the text is important to the author ,because his son was born missing a chamber in his heart and he wanted others to know that everyone is different when it comes to the speed it beats or how it looks ,but they all work the same.
