Take a look at "Joyas Voladoras", by Brian Doyle. What do you notice about Doyle's writing? What happens when you reach the final paragraph? In what ways does an essay that at first appeared to be about creatures great and small suddenly turn into an essay about human nature? What has happened to the word heart? Do you thing "Joyas Voladoras" could be considered a personal essay, even and private one? How would you account for all the specific details that the author introduces in the concluding paragraph apparently to support a generalization about the human heart?
Use a quote from the essay to make your point.
