Personal Narrative-All Quiet On The Western Front

Improved Essays
Autumn has descended upon us. The wind got stronger, the nights grew longer, the red and golden leaves rustled in the breeze, only to fall.
I fell too.
The last connection I had to my previous life has become old and melancholy. Distraught, weary, beaten, and broken, I have lost my way. Abandoned by friends in this realm of death and destruction, the feeling hope within me has been replaced by pain, anger, and grief of life. A place where those are thinking of you is what one can call their home.
I have no such place.
As my mind ventures into the abyss of my misery, my body advances past the trenches into the abyss of the warfront- No Man's land. As I walk out, nobody stops me, nobody asks of my reason for leaving. Nobody cares. As the war continues, the men of my generation have been erased from the core of the army. The generation above and the generation below don’t understand the predicament of my generation. They don’t understand me.

Yet as I look into the empty blue sky emanating above me, all I have nothing in my heart but hate. To be a soldier, one must confront hatred, the same hatred that killed Albert, Westhus, Tjaden, Mueller, and Kat. Those soldiers lost to hate.
As I look up at the soldiers only a few feet away from me, I men whom I cannot forgive for the death of my enemies. The love shared between my dead comrades is something that cannot be forgotten. Yet these are soldiers don’t seem like they kill for no reason, and I know nothing about them, or their pain. But I hesitate to ask.

    Often time, wars are believed and seen as a mean to defend the home nation from physical catastrophe of foreign land and soldiers are praised and honored for their sacrifice. Not often enough do the common people take the time to scrape the surface with sayings like “thank you for your time” to look at the understanding that even though a war “makes men” and unites them, Hynes says that it isolates and cuts them off from other people. We are also controlled into believing that we understand exactly how a soldier feels from what the media broadcast to us, and then we take that false understanding and channels it to a way that we think may help soldiers deal with their traumas or past. The truth that the media provide has been filtered out enough…

    War stories are gruesome. They capture the reality of war--death, grief, and pain. “The Sniper” and “Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” (by Liam O’Flaherty and Tim O’Brien respectively) are both shining examples of this; unpacking the glorification of victory to reveal how humans are dehumanized and trained to kill other people. Their differences outline a common theme: how war dehumanizes people from killing and guilt, and how that all builds into a catastrophe later on in life.…

    It is easy to find out who won a war, and it is easy to find statistics on casualties and fatalities. What is less accessible however, is the intangible component that is mental survival. We know that many of those who survive wars develop some level or form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), but we pay less attention to the mental state that exists for these soldiers during the war. During the most widespread war in history, WWII, countless individuals abandoned their lives of normality and comfort to fight on the frontlines. Nations did their best to dehumanize their soldiers so that they could mechanize and maximize them as tools of war.…

    Case of Willy Willy is a 35 year old divorced man, after five years of marriage, with no children. Discharged from the Army after enlisting at the age of 18, Willy served for ten years. During his post in Afghanistan, Willy witnessed his “best, most trusted friend” (0.45 minutes) harm an unarmed girl, who reminded him of his niece, because she wore her cultural headdress; a hijab. He described his memories of Afghanistan as a moment of “war and genocide” (1:05 minutes) with the ponderous thoughts of “dying in that country” (1:11 minutes) rather than continuing life as usual. As a result, Willy began to reexamine his original perception of the structure, lucidity and integrity offered to others by the military; leading to his disenchanted views.…
