as World War I, is a defining moment in Europe’s history.

All Quiet on the Western Front chronicles the experiences of Paul Baumer, a 19-year old student who volunteers for the military during World War I along with his classmates Muller and Kropp. They are compelled to enlist by Kantorek, their fiercely patriotic but misguided schoolmaster

​The realism, grisly detail, and irony Remarque injects his story of WWII in the trenches on the front lines from the German perspective somehow remains poetic because of his lyrical writing style. Nineteenth century society was not ready for Remarque’s new language of war. Until this novel society held the illusion of war as both glorious and romantic. The idea of such a thing traces back to the ancient Spartans carrying forth to 19th century Europe (Traver 2002). Before Chapter One, Remarque introduces

that's about as near as he got. I don't think he knew what a trench was like. And they made him an Earl and gave him £100,000.

Stalingrad was called Tsaritsyn until 1925, it was then renamed Stalingrad in honor of Josef Stalin. The cities name was changed again in 1961 to Volgograd, meaning Volga City.

The Russians were determined to defend the city

Aby Adams 3rd hour Trip to Colorado My family and I had planned a trip to Denver, Colorado to visit my brother and his girlfriend. It took months and months to finally have it all planned out, but we finally figured everything out. We left for the cities on a Wednesday night. We stayed in a sketchy hotel in the cities by the airport and flew out of Minneapolis around 5:30 a.m. I was so nervous, as it was my very first plane ride. The plane was quite small. Our plane was delayed due to them having

Introduction and Motivation Drylines occur most frequently over the central US High Plains (i.e., western Nebraska to western Oklahoma and Texas; e.g., Fujita 1958; Rhea 1966) and mark an intersection where relatively warm, moist air originating from the Gulf of Mexico meets a relatively hot, dry air mass originating over the elevated terrain of the southwestern US and northern Mexico. Afternoon dewpoint gradients of 10K [100 km]-1 are common with drylines, and in particularly strong drylines, extreme
