Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the book "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque about a young German soldier during World War I. The paper studies, through the eyes of the main character of the book, Paul B?umer, how modern warfare, especially trench fighting, affects the soldier by destroying him and inflicting him with physical hardships and mental anguish.

From the Paper:

"The physical hardships are hard to endure. The men fight off more than the enemy. They have to battle hunger and disease. Their food is little and far in between because there are not enough rations. When they do receive food, Paul says, - We pull in our belts tighter and chew every mouthful three times as long. Still the food does not last out; we are damnably hungry. I take out a scrap of bread, eat the white and put the crust back in my knapsack; from time to time I nibble at it?(108). Paul does whatever he can to make to food as long as possible."
