to their previous ADHD diagnosis does have its merits, but many of these concerns boil down to the safety of our troops and the their effectiveness. For example, many of the opposition truly believe that these individuals would place their fellow soldiers at risk in dangerous situations. The concept of placing ADHD personnel in a combat role, let alone in a warzone, has many critics in a frenzy. Then there is the concern of their mental and intelligence capabilities, in which, the opposition believe

In the trenches, “Chance hovers [over them]. If a shot comes, [they] duck” (101). These soldiers hide in constant fear of these shells. From the first shell, they realized that they are not invincible, that they are utterly fragile and vulnerable. That if a shell comes, it is up to chance whether they survive or not. In October 1918, Paul “[fell]

1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to a single sentence: All quiet on the Western Front” (Remarque 296). Paul Baumer, the narrator of All Quiet on the Western Front, enlisted into the German army at a young age of nineteen with a group of friends from school. Kantorek, Paul’s teacher, “gave us long lectures until the whole of our class went, under his shepherding, to the District Commandant and volunteered” (Remarque 11). After Paul and

Owen is trying too saying that the soldiers are as though they don't know entirely what they are doing. They are just being led along like zombies. These men are but mere shadows of the bright vibrant people that started on this epic journey. The pace of the poem quickens in the 2nd stanza. The soldiers are awoken by a gas attack. This effectively shatters the mood that Owen has told of us in the opening stanza. The soldiers are now awoken by the fact that their

into actual battle, they are faced with the brutal training camp. Along with this they face the cruelty of the life of a soldier. This made them question the reason for which a soldier fights. They are told that they fight because they must be nationalists and must therefore be patriotic. But they began to understand that these are just clichés and are used to brainwash soldiers. Soon after they graduate they are sent into the fray of war. The premature idea of war being glorious and honourable is

The Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier looks first hand look at the life of an average soldier at the time, Jakob Walter. He was a nineteen year old german boy enlisted by conscription and assigned to regiment Romig, later known as Franquemont Regiment. In somewhat of

acknowledging the presence of any other human being in the room, she walked out toward the kitchen, probably either to get a drink of water, or to find Eric, the group leader. Leonard had always wondered why it was that she was so consumed by hatred for the Germans. Admittedly, few people in the world had any real reason to love the Nazis, especially with them burning their way across half of New England and in control of or allied with most of rest of the world. Still, Christina's hatred seemed much more

approach of others, he himself stands accused: is he not guilty of the same crime, of distorting history to his own ends, lacking merely the person with sufficient subtlety to call him to account? Joachim Fest said that the political maturity of the German people came only after the loss of their inner, spiritually romantic “interior”– the relic of feudalism that had not yet given way. This world of glorious Heroes and Grand Gestures which Wagner seeked to portray in music, and which Hitler forged a

All Quiet on the Western Front, soldiers at the front have a better idea than civilians of the true nature of war because they have experienced the war while civilians have only read about it or listened to government propaganda. Remarque is trying to tell us that only those who experience the war can understand how awful war truly is. In All Quiet on the Western Front, the main character Paul goes back to his home, the people he meets still think that the Germans are winning the war. During the

as nineteen year old German Soldiers who don’t realize that the have basically lost their lives to the war. Throughout the book multiple themes are presented. The theme WW1 Youth as a Lost Generation showed the most progression from start to finish in All Quiet On The Western Front. Being only nineteen fighting a war can be hard in itself, but adding the fact that when you will return your life will start from where it was left off makes it worst. The fewer older soldiers had families and they
