all quiet on the western front (blog 3)

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.
