From Man to Monster: A Study of Identity in All Quiet On The Western Front and Man’s Search for Meaning War is consistently portrayed in literary works as a concept of horror, a clash of physical and mental strength, with its soldiers either depicted as heroes or humans transformed into animalistic killers. Favouring the latter approach, All Quiet On The Western Front by German veteran Erich Maria Remarque is a war story that captures the hardships experienced by soldiers during World War I, their

But I wanted more. Stupidly, I thought there was better. And now, I stand here, regretful, fiddling with the ring given to me by a man who I'm not in love with, staring at an urn that contains the dust and bone of what could have been. Like the chickadee, my head pivots and I squint through tears and swallow sobs as they attempt to escape. Without reason or thought, I grab the urn

Penned during two distinctly disparate eras in American military history, both Erich Maria Remarque's bleak account of trench warfare during World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Tim O'Brien's haunting elegy for a generation lost in the jungles of Vietnam, The Man I Killed, present readers with a stark reminder that beneath the veneer of glorious battle lies only suffering and death. Both authors imbue their work with a grim severity, presenting the reality of war as it truly exists. Men

stench is awful. The only consolation is that no one else is awake, the quiet is eerie but not in a bad way. Its calming really, like I am the last living thing left on earth, the only time where all the bad things stop is when there’s nothing around me for me to mess up. All I hear is my footsteps echoing, and my labored breathing. When home, I quickly shower and climb into bed with her, a welcome sight. I try to be quiet but at this point she is so use to this that she doesn’t even stir. For

Waking up before the rising sun on the morning of the hunt left me feeling groggy with my eyes slow to open and close when blinking.

Hello, UniCess, or Roblox3030303 As you may know, I am what you may consider a creep or freak. I'm here to explain the incident that occurred during that Skype call in early August. That day when I added you to a call I was talking to my friend Ed. That change in camera angle was a complete accident. If you recall, there was a banging sound when my camera angle "descended".

sardines. Sadly, the ride was over quickly, and I began moseying down the long corridor that resembled the trite T shape of the lower floor. I heard the rattling of key chains, which sounded deafening in the quiet hallway, but after realizing the noise was coming from me, I tried my best to quiet it by grabbing onto my bag. I finally reached the last classroom on the left, 5 minutes early. I slowly opened the door
