Theme: “For a start, the very young are necessarily self-centred. What do they care for the tragic or untidy lives of their neighbours? Their primary business is survival, and their preoccupation is with those who help them to survive. Of course their business is also learning about the world around them-hence the boundless curiosity of young animals…” (Page 122)

In Night, cruelty is demonstrated because people are treated inhumanely and constantly exposed to death, so they lose the ability to act like a good person. They stole food from their family and people who they live with. The second one would be that when Elie Wiesel first arrives at Auschwitz the Jews ripped them out of the cattle cars and if they did not come out they would be shot on the spot. The Gestapo were cruel to save themselves.

The topic that I plan to write about is how the distinction between "human" and "animal" has blurred and altered.

That is why the title “Marley & Me” encapsulates the main topic of the book such as the relationship between a human and a pet. To start with let me introduce main characters: John, Jenny, and Marley.
