All Quiet on the Western Front (2nd to last blog)

Towards the end of the book Paul returns to the front where the war is going on. He fights for a while, and his father and sister come to visit him there. All they talk about is their mother who is still suffering from cancer. Paul feels awful about how he has to stay at the front, which leads to him doubting the war and he eventually just hates it. Also Paul offers to go into no man's land to see if they are planning something secret, however it turns out into a battle, and Paul hides in a hole throughout the battle and has to kill his first victim face to face. After this he feels awful and can't stand being in the war, or the war itself. I think that this part of the book is kinda like the falling action cuz the end is near you can feel like for Paul and his war efforts, however there is still much left to be told for the story to end right.

After the battle, Paul is given an 18 day leave. He has also met a women who lives on the other side of the canal, but it becomes nothing serious. But during his leave he goes back to his hometown to find out that his mother has cancer. In the end of the chapter he wishes that he had never come back home. He believes that is just made is harder to go back and leave his mother. I predict that the next chapter Paul will become a higher soldier than he is now, maybe leautenant.

I read the sixth chapter, and this chapter was around the climax of the book. The author really talks about the action going on in the war. Paul talks about how he left one dugout to go to another and it had been bombed, and so he returned back and that one had also caved in. I think that throughout the next two chapters it is gonna be much like this one, with a lot of action going on in the battlefield. I also predict that one of Paul's friends is gonna die in a few chapters.

In the chapter that i read the army is stationed at a camp, and sergeant Himmelstos comes to their camp. Tjaden strongly despises Himmelstos and when Himmelstos asks tjaden to stand, tjaden simply stays seated. Because of this Himmelstos tries to punish tjaden, but tjaden stays hidden. None of the other men decide to tell Himmelstos where Tjaden is hiding, then later they are sent to court. In court the judge decides that Himmelstos' behavior needs to be calmed, and tjaden and kropp who was with him are lightly punished. This is important because it gives the reader a feel of how awful Himmelstos really is. I think the author decided to have this as a full chapter because it gives the reader a good feel for the scene.

In my book the main character has just recieved new recruits to the area, because of the loss, and because they are soon to be bombarded. Then in the next chapter they experience there first bombardment. Many of the recruits are very scared. I think that this is the rising action because the author just starts talking about how they are fighting. Plus the author wouldn't make this the climax because this is just chapter four, and the battle didn't last very long. This is an important chapter because most of the book is about battles that went on during WWII. Therefore the author explains the first battle now, in this chapter.

In this second chapter the main character Paul starts to think about how, horrible war really is. One of Paul's comrades Kimmerick is on the verge of death, and Paul tries to get a doctor for him. But when he arrives Kimmerick has already passed and been moved, so his bed is taken by another soldier. I think this is important to Paul because Kimmerick is a good example for paul to understand what is going on. Paul realizes how many deaths happen everyday during war, and his emotionally scarred. He also briefly talks about how young men that go through this, will remember how awful it is through out there life. As oppose to someone older who will not have to remember those awful things that went on, as long as a younger soldier.
