The Ninemile Wolves

Find specific examples of abstract and concrete language. What are the effects?

For concrete example in page 761: "I've interviewed maybe a hundred people for or against wolves. The ones who are "for" wolves, they have an agenda: wilderness, and freedom for predators, for prey, for everything. The ones who are "against" wolves have an agenda: they've got vested financial interests. It's about money."
This example make us to know the relationship between human and wolves, just respect their freedom or treat the wolves as too much merchandise.It reminds people realise theire ways to the wild species that humans are destroying the nature.

For abstract example which in page 765: " I get the sense that they've a little differrent. Wiser, of course-even if only bearing wise blood but not knowing it. They seem to be a little edgier-pushing for those edges."
This abstract example let the author find a differernt side of the wolves, "their wisdom", and make readers to consider a new approach of how to treat the wolves or how to consider the relationships between the nature and human beings.
