The mental aspect of the soldiers has not changed either.

    The German government: Instable and “You take it from me, we are losing the war because we can salute too well” ( Remarque 40 ) . This quotation from the book All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque stands in representation for the symbol of questioning the decisions of a government. This book shows how a government may not be making decisions regarding war that are in the best interests of the people. The German government was in a time of struggle and despair during the times of World War I (1912-1918). The instability and false trustworthiness of the German government in the time period of 1910-1930 fed the feelings and themes from the book All Quiet on the Western Front.

    Identify and describe the themes of All Quiet on the Western Front. (15 points) I was not there for most of the movie, but the themes were war and what happens to people during the war. Though many movies try to romanticize war and make it look like a happy place where there is only pride and joy for the country they are serving. This movie shows people what war is actually like, it doesn’t really sugarcoat much about war.

    In the war novel of All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, the imagery of nature is used to describe the battle of the front of the war. Because of the grotesque battle scene that is associated with nature, soldiers would change by losing their innocence and being dehumanized. Although nature often associated with peace, it is more substantial than humans because nature has an impact on the soldiers. During the war, there are times of peace because nature is everywhere.

The great war of 1914-1918 was of the greatest shock the war took killing millions of soldier and not yet enough around another seven million civilians who perished from persecution, disease or starvation. This was horrifying moment for everyone because the industrial revolution was kicking each other’s assess. Every country wanted to be the best and everyone was trying to play their cards right.

    All Quiet on the Western Front Throughout the novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, Paul Baumer illuminates, through his eyes as the main character, war as a horribly dehumanizing experience. However, the real question is whether or not war and the experiences of many soldiers make them more human. Many will agree that war strips many young soldiers of their lives and pride. However, I believe that war helped shape the way men are today and they way they were back then.

    Review All Quiet on the Western Front is great piece of literature because it incorporates a lot of different aspects into the book. It has the action of war, the happiness of friendship, and the sorrowness of loss and given up hope. It varies from other books i have read about war and loss because it gives a perspective that I have never seen through before. The book is based on the lives of German soldiers in World War I, rather than the usual book through the eyes of an American soldier.
