Text comparison and contrast



      




        In To Fall in Love With Someone : Do this and with the Norton Reader article there are many similarities as well as many differences.  One difference is that in To Fall in Love with someone starts off with a factual statement about how a psychologist named Arthur Aron succeeded in making two people fall in love, while Joyas Voladoras starts off with a hummingbird metaphor.  I believe that Joyas Voladuras has more of a literature and biology  background  since this particular text talks about how different animals' bodies work and their heart structure and compares that to how human hearts work (both literally and figuratively) and even goes on to say that there's "so much held in a heart in a lifetime". To Fall in Love, Do this however, I believe that there's more of an audience that wants to see how people fall in love. Audience wise the thing they commonly share is that both of their audiences want to know more about love.
        In To Fall in Love, do This the author is more spent on setting up her own experiment to see if it's possible to make two people fall in love with each other, while In Joyas Voladoras the author seems to want to explain things more in metaphors and explain how different species' heart systems work (a metaphor in itself) and also how different species feel and express love.
    

       The author’s purpose in To Fall in Love Do This seems to be to scientifically prove if people can be made to fall in love, while the purpose of Joyas Voladoras seems to be explaining how hearts work in other organisms besides humans and also the metaphor of how love comes from the heart.


          The settings also differ because in To Fall In Love With Someone Do This it seems to take place in the lab of Arthur Aron only not physically but in the author's imagination because they're imagining what it would be like to be there in person. In Joyas Voladuras the setting constantly changes depending on what topic the author is talking about. In both texts however, the settings are seen via the authors' mental landscape, in other words they're not there physically.
