Reflection

The Book All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque was an astonishing account of World War One by the fictional character Paul Baumer. He tells of how the war had changed his life and how he had once looked at it. He no longer felt like kid anymore, he felt aged and the life back at home was long gone. All he knew of life was hopelessness and death. Besides these sad themes, I greatly enjoyed this book and now understand what it was like to live in that time period.
