All Quiet on the Western Front by E.M. Remarque

This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession It will try simply to tell of a times of men who, even though they may aim escaped its shells, were destroyed by the state of state of struggle states Erich Maria Remarque in the very beginning of his most cognise novel All ease on the Western Front.This book blames the war on damaging young the great unwashed and states how they will neer adapt sanction to normal life and accuses citizenry who dont even fight in the war of starting it for no reason.The narrator of the story, Paul, duologue about his experience with the war tour these sane men into heaps of madness, and how the war was completely unnecessary and does not do the country any good. Paul consecrates while on block, Out there I was indifferent and often hopeless I will never be able to be so again.I was a soldier, and now I am nothing but an agony for myself, my mother, for everything that is so comfortless and without end.(p. 185) This evidence show s that the war causes the soldiers to feel uncomfortable with the world outside after the war. The war changes the soldiers into people who teach others to kill and dont even know the reason.For example, one night while Paul volunteered for patrol, shelling started so he got into a shell sand trap to take cover. A Frenchman later jumps into the hole with Paul but Paul has to stab him.While in the hole with the Frenchmans lifeless body Paul talks to him he says, Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agonyForgive me, comrade how could you be my enemy?(p.223) this shows that even the soldiers dont like the fact that they fight these people for no reason, that they all have rights as people and they all show fear so why would they fight each other.While on leave Paul speaks to two gentlemen who offer him cigars, while talking to the gentlemen one says, but this relates to the whole. And of that, you are not able to judge. You see only your little sector and so cannot have any general survey. You do your duty, you risk your lives, that deserves the highest honorevery man., this shows that people who dont even fight in the war think that they know much about what goes on than the soldiers who actually fight in the battle.Another way the book shows that the soldiers dont want the war and that it only helps a select few takes situation on page 206. One quote on this page reads every full-grown emperor requires at least one war otherwise he would not be famous there are other people back behind there who profit from the war, thats for certain. this blames the government for needing a war because they believe it would make them go down in history as a great nation and that the wars only purpose consisted of a government wanting withal much power.I think it is more of a kind of fever no one, in particular, wants it, and then all at once there, it is. We didnt want the war, the others say the same thing and yet half the worlds in it all the same.(p.206) this quote comes up when Paul and his comrades talked about the significance of the war and why they fought the war.It states that the people never wanted or needed the war in the first place the government wanted to show that they had power. Remarque accuses the government with this statement because he writes about the people and the soldiers not wanting the war for many reasons such as food, materials, and money, but yet the war still took place. All in all this book accuses the war and the government of the death of these young men and for ruining their lives.The war did not need to take place and many people did not like the war. The war caused young men to get drafted and not have proper training on the battlefield causing more casualties. All of these things make All Quiet on the Western Front what remarque said it wouldnt turn into, an accusation.
