“To Fall In Love With
Anyone, Do This” was intended to inform the readers about a study about love.
The author feels as if this study is accurate not only because it was concluded
by the data gathered in the experiments, but also through personal experiences.
She tells of a time she and her partner fell in love by recreating the experiment.
The author in this article does try to convince her readers of one thing.
Carton writes in her article, “Most of us think about love as something that
happens to us. We fall. We get crushed. But what I like about this study is how
it assumes that love is an action.” The author pushes for the idea that love is
an action and not an adjective. That love does not happen out of nowhere.
“Joyas Voladoras” was written to inform the readers about
many ways to live life and love others. Through metaphors the author creates
illustrations where life is either rushed, humming bird, or prolonged, turtle.
Brian Doyle argues that one can live their life to be fast paced like the
humming bird, but die sooner; or slow like the turtle, but not be able to experience
as much. Doyle starts touching the subject of love when he begins talking about
the heart of many animals. He says that the heart of a whale is room sized, big
enough to fit a child inside. In addition, Doyle argues that we do not let
others into our own hearts, instead we open a window and say hello from the
inside. Doyle says “We are utterly open with no one…” Brian Doyle tries to
describe the relationship between humans.
“To Fall In Love With Anyone, Do This” was written to be
more inclusive of the readers. Often including words such as ‘you’ and ‘your’.
While “Joyas Valadoras” was written primarily using metaphors. The readers in
To Fall In Love With Anyone, Do This can relate to the text through personal experiences
while those in “Joyas Valadoras” understand the text through examples in nature
and vivid illustrations.
Additionally, “Joyas Voladoras” was written in an essay
format and intended to be more formal than that of an online article such as “To
Fall In Love With Anyone, Do This.” This is evident throughout the text as the
essay uses less first and third person as does the online article.
I feel like the purpose of both articles was to convince people to keep an open mind about love and try to get people to try other ways of finding love. Also I fell that the audience that the articles that they are talking to is people who are having trouble finding love. They are trying to give hope to the lonely people in the world and I applaud that because they are trying to make everybody happy.
ReplyDeleteI feel like a lot of people are going to try this because its something new, like the online dating thing. It has grown in last few years. Some people are finding there soul mates on there and that what has made it grow.
I agree with your statements and will add on to these in the essay Joyas Voladoras and the article of "To fall in Love with anyone, do this" by Mandy Le Catron both share the subject of love although both of these have a different perspective on the subject while Doyle sets the idea that we don't really open our hearts to anyone we just let people see what we want to show them. Both of these differ in the sense of context because Doyle uses metaphors so the reader finds it easily to identify while the context of "to fall in love with anyone, do this" is a more structured article that gives scientific proof demonstrating credibility. Through the blue whale, Doyle explains about love with the largest heart in any mammal. While in Catron believes love is a choice and decides to base this on a scientific matter which in her case was the experiment of the 36 questions, she does this and comes to the conclusion that there must be a choice to love before feeling these emotions Unlike Doyle who is believes in the idea of living every moment of your life with love and at its fullest basing it off emotions and feelings.
