Reflection

The book, All Quiet on the Western Front, the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, follows the young German soldier Paul as he braves the horrors of war, both at home and on the front. This book is an adventure around every corner, whether it be on the battlefield or taking place in Paul’s mind as he struggles to keep hold of his sanity. The in-depth writing and huge amount of detail that leaves nothing out shows what it is to be on the front lines. It gave me a new outlook on what the horrors of battle did to a person, and showed me what it is to have a comradeship with your brothers-in-arms.
