the reader’s mind. To me, three specific scenes have stayed with me after completing the book. In chapter four, there is a battle in a graveyard. The battle begins in a field, but the soldiers are then forced to take cover in the graveyard; Paul even has to cover himself with an unearthed coffin.

constant rumors of armistice and peace, then he begins to contemplate what would’ve happened if peace came as early as 1916, “Had we returned home in 1916, out of suffering and the strength of our experience we might have unleashed a storm. Now if we go back we will be weary, broken, burnt out, rootless, and without hope. We will not be able to find our way anymore” (Remarque pg. 294).
