AQ from Sarah Sheldon

All Quiet on the Western Front is a novel about the hardships and toils soldiers faced when warfare was a mix of the old and new. Paul, the narrator, expresses how the soldiers lose hope as the years go on and how he felt more alone in the world each time one of his comerades died in battle. Remarque takes so much care in describing a soldiers life on the front lines that you feel apart of the story and you can feel how it is to slowly lose hope and try to keep that hope alive, even when everything is so bleak and desperate around them. Remarque's writing style makes you understand what the soldier's life was like in Germany during WWI and the way he writes it makes you feel apart of the story so you can better understand what each character is going through.
