All Quiet on the Western Front by E.M. Remarque

This guard is to be neither an accusation nor a confession It volition tense simply to tell of a generation of men who, counterbalance though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war states Erich mare Remarque in the very beginning of his most known novel entirely Quiet on the Western Front.This book blames the war on damage young battalion and states how they will never adapt back to modal(prenominal) life and accuses people who dont even crowd in the war of outset it for no reason.The narrator of the story, Paul, talks about his experience with the war spell these sane men into heaps of madness, and how the war was completely unnecessary and does non do the country any good. Paul says while on leave, surface there I was indifferent and often hopeless I will never be able to be so again.I was a soldier, and now I am nothing but an agony for myself, my mother, for everything that is so comfortless and without end.(p. 185) This evidence plants that t he war causes the soldiers to feel uncomfortable with the human beings outside after the war. The war changes the soldiers into people who teach others to kill and dont even know the reason.For example, maven night while Paul volunteered for patrol, shelling started so he got into a shell hole to take cover. A Frenchman posterior jumps into the hole with Paul but Paul has to stab him.While in the hole with the Frenchmans lifeless body Paul talks to him he says, why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the similar fear of death, and the same dying and the same agonyForgive me, bloke how could you be my enemy?(p.223) this shows that even the soldiers dont like the fact that they fight these people for no reason, that they all(prenominal) have rights as people and they all show fear so why would they fight each other.While on leave Paul speaks to two gentlemen who offer him cigars, while talking t o the gentlemen one says, but this relates to the whole. And of that, you are not able to judge. You see hardly your weeny sector and so cannot have any general survey. You do your duty, you peril your lives, that deserves the highest honorevery man., this shows that people who dont even fight in the war think that they know more about what goes on than the soldiers who actually fight in the battle.Another way the book shows that the soldiers dont need the war and that it only helps a select few takes induct on page 206. angiotensin converting enzyme quote on this page reads every full-grown emperor requires at least one war otherwise he would not be famous there are other people back undersurface there who profit from the war, thats for certain. this blames the government for needing a war because they believe it would produce them go down in history as a groovy nation and that the wars only purpose consisted of a government wanting also much power.I think it is more of a kind of fever no one, in particular, wants it, and then all at once there, it is. We didnt want the war, the others say the same thing and yet half the worlds in it all the same.(p.206) this quote comes up when Paul and his comrades talked about the significance of the war and why they fought the war.It states that the people never wanted or needed the war in the first place the government wanted to show that they had power. Remarque accuses the government with this line because he writes about the people and the soldiers not wanting the war for legion(predicate) reasons such as food, materials, and money, but yet the war still took place. every(prenominal) in all this book accuses the war and the government of the death of these young men and for ruining their lives.The war did not need to take place and many people did not like the war. The war caused young men to get drafted and not have proper training on the theatre of operations causing more casualties. All of these thi ngs make All Quiet on the Western Front what remarque said it wouldnt turn into, an accusation.
