Emmerich's All Quiet In The Western Front

Do I walk? Have I feet still? … Then I know nothing more” (287-291). Paul is even more affected by Kat’s death than Kemmerich’s death.

From the first few pages, it reveals that Second Company has made it out of a battle, losing close to half their men. Soon after, we see a detailed description of Kemmerich’s death, a fellow soldier injured and amputated before the beginning of the story. The way his fellow soldiers reacted, not with apathy yet not with unbridled misery, immediately sets the tone for the book. Other scenes throughout the

Solomon has shown that he had the will to work and take abuse in the camps in order to live the next day. To repeat what I’ve said, I have learned, by doing this report on Solomon Radasky, to be grateful for the life that I have right

Night is a memoir of coincidences and close calls. The theme of Night is living with guilt. Eliezer Wiesel survived the Holocaust despite the odds. He feels guilty that in someway, he was relieved that his father had died. He feels guilty because he survived when so many others died.

This has caused him to have guilt, even after over ten years of leaving the military. As stated in Operation Homecoming, “The words become unstuck from their definitions.” Some cannot describe their experiences and how they affect them. Everything is such a mess of new ideas and coated with stress and pain that things are just too complicated to put into a picture. In The Things They Carried, the narrator is shot in the rear end, and due to poor

I have known people that have died slowly and painfully and it is very hard to see loved ones live in pain and pass away in pain. I could not begin to imagine what they were experiencing and having to live with. The Death with Dignity Act would provide those people with an alternative choice to the awful circumstances their medical conditions have put them in. This would allow those certain people to be able to pass peacefully and on their own terms. That is why I have chosen to write about the Death with Dignity Act.

This movie shows that Lieutenant Dan is suffering mentally. He does not want to be this way , but he is, because of the trauma he has been forced to endure. He states,“He said if I found Jesus, I 'd get to walk beside him. I said walk.” (Forrest Gump).

It already has command in the eyes.” (Remarque 72) Death is personified a lot throughout the book. When Kemmerich died it was hard for all of the men. Paul had been friends with Kemmerich since they were children. It was also Paul’s first experience with being with someone as they took their last breath, but definitely not the last death to be

Anne’s father was the only survivor from the concentration camp. The unlucky life of Anne Frank when she was unable to survive from concentration camp. Also, men who were sent to left their families knowing that they might not see their family again.

He fought a war in Vietnam that he knew nothing about, all he knew was that, “Certain blood was being shed for uncertain reasons” (38). He realized that he put his life on the line for a war that is surrounded in controversy and questions. Through reading The Things They Carried, it was easy to feel connected to the characters; to feel their sorrow, confusion, and pain. O’Briens ability to make his readers feel as though they are actually there in the war zones with him is a unique ability that not every author possess.

“The men dropped here and there like bundles. The captain of the youth 's company had been killed in an early part of the action. His body lay stretched out in the position of a tired man resting, but upon his face there was an astonished and sorrowful look, as if he thought some friend had done him an ill turn” (Crane 70-71). This is just one of the many horrific descriptions of death in the novel, with this one having a slightly different description of the dead. The captain is described as resting and being astonished and compares it to a friend doing something bad to him; expressing a some sort of betrayal, whether about the war itself or from the shock that is being shot.

All Quiet on the Western Front is a novel set during World War One that discloses the atrocities of the War. The story focuses on a German soldier’s life and experiences during his service along the Western Front. While focusing on a single man, the story is representative of all fighting men on all sides of the war. The book provides insight, without glamorization, into the lives and sacrifices of soldiers, the brutality of war, and the disparity in Germany’s last attempt to hold the Western Front. One of the most memorable qualities of Paul Baumer, the main character in the story, is his young age.

Erich Maria Remarque’s novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, follows the life of a German Soldier, Paul Baumer, serving in the trenches in France during World War I. This novel is told from Baumer’s perspective and depicts the horrors of living in his shoes during this time. Paul and several other young soldiers volunteered for the war after their instructor in school, Kantorek and other authority figures back home filled their heads with glorious ideas about the war. Very quickly, he discovers the reality- gas attacks, fatal illness, starvation, rat infestations, and bloody trenches. This dehumanizing war affects Paul and the soldiers who fought in it by destroying their physical and emotional well being, changing their views on the meaning of life and death, obliterating their sense of nationalism by betrayal, and
