They devolve into primitive essences, with savage, animal characteristics that are necessary for survival under such conditions. In Night, Wiesel effectively illustrates the drastic changes that the Jews go through; from average citizens with family, friends, and lo ....

Great Expectations
928 Words - 4 Pages.... 1) However, it goes much deeper than that. Love transcends passion or reason. It is a "surge of emotion and feeling from the depths of your body and soul to make you exuberant or sad, strong or weak, bold or trembling."(Sclossberg 1) It is being able to put out your whole life for the well being of somebody else.
