African-Americans played an important part on both sides of the battle. Petersburg was known for having a high population of freed African-Americans as high the population of Petersburg was black and 35% of that population was free. Slaves and freedmen were very integral to the city of Petersburg and the Confederacy as they worked for many railroad companies. In 1862, they helped construct the ten-mile long defensive line of trenches and batteries around the city of Petersburg. In March 1865, after
day of suffering, an unnamed member of the platoon breathes in mustard gas after dropping his gun in a pit, and Katczinsky, Paul’s platoon leader, dies while Paul carries him to the hospital tents. The horrors of mustard gas and the realities of battle are accurately depicted especially since so many soldiers died, and no one dies in this movie doing anything greatly heroic. However, back home there was a great deal of information that was not shared. All Quiet on the Western Front shows war as
The shoreline loomed ominously in the distance. I could faintly make out the gray concrete fortifications that sat on top of the colossal jagged cliff, barely visible through the haze of the early morning fog that enveloped the coast of German-controlled France. I could see the Nazi flag waving slowly with the ever gentle breeze. I looked down at my watch, its hands seeming to move in slow motion. It was 06:30.

What is their mother’s role within these images? She says “Photographing them in those quirky, often emotionally charged moments has helped me to acknowledge and resolve some of the inherent contradictions between the image of motherhood and reality.” So it seems her images are as much about herself and her own desires, fear and fantasies, her own disconnect between maternal expectation and reality, her own way of ‘shooting back’ defined by her maternal subjectivity through manipulation of the
plains and rugged highlands. The smooth plains resemble Lunar Maria, that is, large dark basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruption, found on the Earth’s moon. The Intercrater Plains are impact craters, pocked with a number of smaller craters, which cover 70% of the examined surface. These craters are particularly deep, due to the planets lack of an atmosphere to slow the bodies before impact. The rugged highlands resemble mountainous regions of the Earth; however, there is no evidence of tectonic
violence that is necessary during wartime, soldiers are permitted to engage in savage behavior that is normally forbidden in society. In The Wars by Timothy Findley, however, soldiers act in violent ways even when they are not actively engaged in battle. The inherently savage nature of humankind is evident when Robert Ross kills the German soldier after the gas attack, when Robert is raped in the baths, and when Robert kills Captain Leather. These violent events that occur outside the direct action
