All Quiet On The Western Front

All Quiet on the Western Front focuses on life in the trenches of World War I. Paul is the narrator and he tells what its like to be in the war. He was fighting for Germany in the war. Paul loses all his friends in the war. He was the last of his troop to die in the war. Paul dies on the most quietest day of the war. Paul could only look at his former childhood. He could no longer have his childhood. He lost his future of becoming a great person in society. The war has changed him forever. He doesnt look at life the same. He knows that war is stupid. He would never want to put someone else in his shoes for him. Paul is a person who was drafted into the war at the age of eight-teen. Paul sees some things that he can't really explain to people who are not in the war with him. He knows that all soldiers in the war did some of the things that he and his friends encountered along the way. The rats in the trenches could eat dogs. Paul gets his first hand to hand combat kill when he was in a shell hole in No Mans Land. He stabs the French man three times, one in the throat, in the arm, and in the stomach. His friends already had a hand to hand kill before. After when Paul stabbed the man, he tried to console the man, but the man was too afraid. Paul gets him to calm down, but by morning the man is dead. He was gurgling his own blood all through out the night. It was driving Paul crazy. Paul would have left the shell hole but he didn't know which way to get back to his trench. All Paul could do is hope and wait. Paul then tried to lift up his helment to see if he was being watched, but bullets shot the helment out of his hands. So now, all he could do was wait.
