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.
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarqueis a book about a German soldier Paul Bäumer and some of his friends from school who joined the army voluntarily after their teacher talked about joining the war. The group of nineteen year olds started the war with a great sense of nationalism and enthusiasm, but after experiencing ten weeks of hard training from Corporal Himmelstoss and the brutality of life on the front. Paul and his friends realize that the reasons of for which they enlisted are simply meaningless after some time on the front. Also, Paul and his friend realize that war is not as glorious or honorable as it is made out to be, and constantly lived in strain both mental and physical.
1- Technological advances in machine guns and tanks allowed for greater accuracy and larger explosion range caused faster deaths. 2- The soldiers were traumatized and couldn't work well when they went back to their environment. Pg 828 #1-2 1- Paul realized the soldier was still alive after their altercation.
In a time of great nationalism, Remarque showed the true horrors of war which many did not know, for they were told war was noble. All Quiet On the Western Front breaks the illusion painted by the leaders of all countries, showing the true loss of life, and mental and physical effects that war had on the soldiers. As a veteran soldier from the Western Front himself, Remarque experienced the horrors that were not mentioned when he was told to sign up and help his country. Remarque tells how the many young men forced to fight in the war under their older commanders had their lives completely destroyed, even if they survived.
The global bloodshed of World War I began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. The casualties of the war were at least 38 million, while others suffered significant losses, and were badly injured. World War I was significant in the advancement in weaponry, artillery, and strategies but still lacked the proper living conditions for the soldiers to remain healthy. The book All Quiet on the Western Front, narrated by Paul Bäumer, and written by Erich Maria Remarque tells the story of young German soldiers fighting on the German front during World War I. What began as a patriotic and heroic adventure, the soldiers begin to realize the harsh and grim reality of the war, as they experienced weeks of brutal training, inhumane officials,
The Vietnam War was a long war full of casualties, a tragic product of war. Many Americans were drafted to fight for their country, and over 50,000 U.S. soldier were killed in combat. In All Quiet on the Western Front, a World War I novel, by Erich Maria Remarque, the soldiers and even the animals used by the military face the horrors of war by experiencing slow and agonizing deaths. The events that Paul Bäumer has witnessed gives insight to the horrors of war. The soldiers and horses used by the military face the horrors of war.
After the tour, the team rallied at the front of the building and reviewed the timetable for Mr. Birch’s arrival. “You guys have a nice set up here. You’ve pretty much thought through a lot of security concerns already,” the lead team member said. “We’ve had the neighborhood under control for several years already,” Marc said, beaming with pride. “The facility is secure.
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.
“He shakes his head, stares down at the black-and-white checkered tiles, sighs. " He asked me if I could watch over you. While he’s away.” Danny looks back at the scout, a frown coming over his face. The scout pulls off his Padres cap, smoothes his thick black hair peppered with gray and pulls the cap back on.
Works Cited: The introduction to the edition I 'm listening to is by General John W. Vessey Jr., and therein he describes it as an anti-war novel, comparing it to The Red Badge of Courageand All Quiet on the Western Front. I can see a bit of why that might be. Damon is a very good officer, who cares about his men but is also good at fighting and deeply committed to seeing his objectives through. He 's horrified by the things that he sees while at the same time seeing them as necessary. In a long conversation after the Armistice with his mentor/commanding officer (one of the weak points of the novel one has to ignore is that there 's a tendency of the author to pontificate a bit through his characters)
Despite what people think books and poems about war don’t have a lot in common. Yes, they are about war, but in different perspectives. I believe that the book All Quiet on The Western Front Is very different from the two poems Ballad of the Three specters and Glory of Women. In the book we follow a soldier named Paul Baumer.
On all Quiet on the Western Front, there were several notions that the new recruits were not equipped with the precise knowledge or abilities to accurately fight in the war; without immediately dying. For instance, they were not aware of the chemical timings and procedures, how to cover from bombing and gun fire, and the timings of when to fire themselves. In addition, Peck stated, “at least 95 percent of the men going off to risk their very lives did not even have the slightest knowledge of what the war was about” (page 392). This was caused by the societies from which these boys came from, ideally forcing them into war through social norms. The culture within one’s nation when war arose was that males go and fight for their loved ones and for their nation and if they refused they were seen as cowards and taken to war anyway.
The man is an unknown character who is trying to survive by all means possible. The extract contains a bit of humour in the beginning as Raina makes fun of him by calling him a chocolate soldier. She's a little sarcastic but also means sympathy when she says, '' Oh, you are a very poor soldier; a chocolate cream soldier". When told to escape by climbing down the pipe, he hesitates as he's frightened of the fact that he might fall.
Throughout the ages, wars have wreaked havoc and caused great destruction that lead to the loss of millions of lives. However, wars also have an immensely destructive effect on the individual soldier. In the novel All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque, one is able to see exactly to what extent soldiers suffered during World War 1 as well as the effect that war had on them. In this essay I will explain the effect that war has on young soldiers by referring to the loss of innocence of young soldiers, the disillusionment of the soldiers and the debasement of soldiers to animalistic men. Many soldiers entered World War 1 as innocent young boys, but as they experienced the full effect of the war they consequently lost their innocence.
All Quiet on the Western Front taught me many new lessons about the war. The book had showed everything from good to bad. I found the book very interesting and a good resource to learn more about the war. Paul had been the longest soldier who had fought out of his group. Paul had overcome many challenges and had experienced many different events.
