The first point of measure would be in which how both passages compliment each other in terms of similarities and congruence. One point with which to note, is the way they describe the flock of birds. Passage one depicts them as an unending stream of Pigeons flowing from everywhere he look and went, while Passage Two did as well. This point being abundantly clear with descriptions such as a "torrent" of Pigeons or a "oriflamme" or birds to both Passage One and Passage Two, respectively. Along with this, we can see the way in which they both describe the movements and the fluttering and vibrato-esque nature to kinetic pattering of the birds. They both describe the flocks as a …show more content…
fluttering mass "pouring in" and "weaving" themselves across the air. Throughout the passages we can see the uncanny closeness to both in the way they describe their unique experiences with such flocks, but also with their effects and unruly nature.
To contrast the passages as well we can see some minute yet still noteworthy differences in the phrasing and depictions of both authors.
In Passage One for example, we can see the flock described as a fluttering mess and almost chaotic in nature, while Passage Two takes some lengths to describe them in the form of shapes and with texture. The other key difference being how Passage Two draws plenty of parallels to the weaving of cloth and the unraveling of fabric, while Passage One lacks in such vision. While Passage One lacks in such a metaphor, it does a superb job of describing the massive flock on his environment. From the noise, to the dung dropping he noticed around him, he goes a fair distance depicting their effect on what is around
him.
The passages while both very effective, also are very congruent in structure, diction, and phrasing and also hold many key differences in that of figurative language. While passage One takes great steps to describe the Kinesics of the flock and their affect on his environment, Passage Two would take the effort and place in that of more figurative descriptions and depictions. They both hold a very significant image holding a very unique shared frame, but part ways on the direction they wish to go with in terms of emphasis and effect.
