True Love

As an old song said “The soul cannot live without love.” Only love can change a person and make the person complete. In the story Me and You and Wall-E, two main characters, Lorenzo and EVE changed from self-centered person into the outstanding person due to the love. However, Lorenzo’s changed was by a person who Lorenzo hated the most before, but as the time moves, Lorenzo began to become better by Olivia. Also in the story Wall-E, EVE changed her mind from unemotional to a real person who wants to get love from others by Wall-E. So love has the power to change people’s personalities.

In the book Me and You, it describes about the how the love between families could change a person's personality. Before Lorenzo meets Olivia, he was a negative boy who always quiet and never share with other his real thoughts. There is evidence shows what kind of person did Lorenzo was"He says that Lorenzo is unable to feel empathy for others. For him everything that’s outside his circle of affections doesn’t exist, has no effect on him. He believes he is special and only people as special as him can understand him"(Ammaniti 29). Also he always thinks himself who was better than other. When he was in the middle school, his life is pretty good. He joined a soccer team and is very good at soccer. However he didn't really joined the group, he always "hide" himself and never shows up. In his family his mother doesn't care about him very much, and she is a self-absorbed. Also his father had a lot of works to do, so his father could not care about Lorenzo. His father is very strict person, and he never care about Lorenzo's thoughts. Also usually make all the decision for Lorenzo and never give him choice. In my opinion base on these kinds of parents does Lorenzo had, he does not get love from his parents. Olivia is Lorenzo's half sister. She is a beautiful and sexy girl. Because of her bad experiences and drug, Lorenzo does not like her at first meet with Olivia. In my opinion, when Lorenzo saw his sister slumped on the ground and vomited, he feels sympathy and pity to his sister. However Olivia is a different family member in Lorenzo's life. She let Lorenzo learned what is feeling by care other people and love. Base on the evidence story "But that evening I danced, and when I danced I felt something I’d never felt before. I felt alive –it took my breath away. In a few hours I would leave that cellar. And everything might go back to the way it was. And yet I knew that beyond that door the world was waiting for me, and that I would be able to talk to the others like I was one of them"(Ammaniti 143), that shows Lorenzo's changes. Love is around our life but most of time these love from different people change ourselves and didn't realize our changes.

The love can change anything for example in the film Wall-E, because it described about the love between robots still could change a robot's personality. Before EVE meets Wall-E, she is a cold and hostile robot. Also she doesn't have any emotion, and her life is full of missions. In my opinion her personality is same as Lorenzo. Lorenzo and EVE both lonely and self-absorbed before they meet the person who gives them love or let them feel love. She just a normal robot before she met Wall-E, and she never feel about love or emotions. Wall-E fail in love with EVE, he did many things for EVE and let her change herself. There is evidence shows what change did EVE made "When EVE wakes up, she goes angry and wants to return the Wall-E back to Earth. However she does not know the police robot "Go-4" going to destroy the plants and open the self-destruct of the escape pod. When the pod exploded EVE realized how her love the Wall-E. Fortunately Wall-E used a fire extinguisher to propel himself back. Then he and EVE dance in space"(Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures 2008). EVE change herself because of Wall-E's love. She becomes more like a human being. Base on the end of the film, after EVE fixed Wall-E she realized he lost all his memory. At that moment she shows her emotion, and she feels sad and heartbroken so she kiss Wall-E in the end. Even though EVE and Wall-E are robots, Wall-E's love still can change EVE's personality.

Love can make lots of changes to a person’s personality. From examples analyzed from Me and You and Wall-E. A person can be changed completely because of love due to emotions. The characters from the two movies changed themselves throughout the movie as they gain more emotions towards one another. Base on these two characters’ changes, so only love can change a person and make the person complete.
