All Quiet on the Western Front
... In the novel, All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque, Paul Baumer shows how these soldiers were alienated through numerous trench warfare experiences. ... The gruesome bouts the soldiers experienced destroyed all aspects of life. ... Soldiers getting shot, detached limbs, guts pouring out- all of these pictures would remain in their minds for the rest of their lives. ... When all the bombardments are done with, they think life is at end. ... War is like noodles and water on a strainer, once the water is strained, all that’s left is the noodles.
