Summer Homework: All Quiet on The Western Front The main theme that I found in All Quiet on The Western Front was Patriotism. I think that men in power at the time had used people’s patriotism to fuel war and their own agenda, on all sides of the war. There was a feeling that civilians in Paul’s hometown envied the life of a soldier after being told it was the noblest of duties. Other times, when Paul comes face to face with other soldiers, he realizes that they are no different than him. One example

Comparison of Human Behavior in All Quiet on the Western Front and Lord of the Flies       An author's view of human behavior is often reflected in their works. The novels All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque and Lord of the Flies by William Golding are both examples of works that demonstrate their author's view of man, as well his opinion of war. Golding's Lord of the Flies is highly demonstrative of Golding's opinion that society is a thin and fragile veil that when

Paul suffers from being poisoned from a chemical attack and is given a short leave. Paul thinks about how he can not go back to the normal world, as all he knows now is war.

Western Front” follows a young and innocent soldier, Paul Baumer, through the living Hell that is World War I. Through Paul’s character, Remarque’s antiwar novel demonstrates that war is nothing but, irrational, patriotic fueled violence that turns humans into insensible soldiers, while simultaneously indicating that their lives have no meaning. The delusion that most war novels advocate is that a young man should be eager and enthusiastic to fight for his country’s honor. While this may temporarily

Fairy Tale Three Brothers, the Baker, and the Bear A long, long, time ago in a far away land lived three brothers, Alexander, Eliot, and Janik. The brothers lived poorly with their old parents in a village named Augusta. One chilly evening, the boys' father requested his sons go out to gather firewood and search for berries. Alexander, the youngest, went on a search for twigs and branches as ordered, while Eliot and Janik ran ahead in a search for food. Five minutes from their home resides the

had spent so much time in the past dehumanizing the enemy. Paul says to himself, “This is the first time I have killed with my hands, whom I can see close at hand, whose death is my doing” (Remarque,221). Paul for the first time realizes just how human the enemy really is. Seeing and hearing him is more than Paul can take. In my opinion, this was the turning point and Paul would never be the same again. It wasn’t something that Paul had witnessed before. It’s easy to kill someone from afar. It doesn’t

Throughout history, many novels and films have been created to portray what life is like for soldiers in different wars. Back when Erich Maria Remarque first came out with All Quiet on the Western Front, it was quite the altered point of view from what most people were saying. During this time period, people tried to cloud others from the reality of what was actually going on for the soldiers on the battlefront, and lots of men and women had questions that were not being answered. Remarque’s reason
