In his book, Bacon talks about EB White “warning strongly against writing that calls attention to itself” (Bacon 9). But she thinks the opposite. She is convinced that “even the best writers seek pleasure, perhaps for themselves as they write and certainly for us as we read” (10). The pursuit of pleasure in writing can come in many forms. At Boston University, Doyle read numerous stories, all true, from which he took pleasure and with which he felt a connection. For Doyle, a story shows much more than meets the eye. A story should make you feel a connection. In “Joyas Volardores,” Doyle writes with much emotion, saying in it that “So many things held in the heart in a lifetime. So many things held in the heart in one day, one hour, one moment” (Doyle). From his lecture at Boston University, it can be concluded that Doyle likes to write with the aim of telling something funny
