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.
