Abstract
This paper is an analysis of ?All Quiet on the Western Front?. It focuses on the effects of World War I on both the soldiers and society. The author discusses how the soldiers are separated and alienated from society due to the fact that no one can truly comprehend the horrors of the war and the returning soldiers are unable to communicate with those who have not experienced it.
From the paper:
"Erich Maria Remarque?s literary breakthrough, All Quiet on the Western Front, still stands at the forefront of a host of novels on that most tragic recurrence in the history of human experience: war. It meticulously chronicles the thoughts of a soldier in World War I while simultaneously detailing the horrors of all wars. The war is seen through the eyes of Paul Baumer, the mouthpiece for Remarque's bitter critique of the ideals of patriotism and nationalism that drove nations into this catastrophe."

Abstract
A literary analysis of "All Quiet on the Western Front". The author discusses the writer's examination of the horrors of World War I through the eyes of the soldiers involved in the war, as well as the effects of war on society at large.
From the paper:
"All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque, is a book that explores the true horrors of World War I through the eyes of a German solider. The author uses the character of Paul to tell a realistic story of what the average WWI solider had to endure. This book raises the issue of how destructive war can be not only to a country, but also to a generation of a nation. One of the major themes in the story is that of the lost generation. An entire generation of men fighting for their country was lost in World War I."

Abstract
The paper discusses the message in the film, "All Quiet on the Western Front", that only the leaders of governments who do not risk their lives and face life in trenches desire war.

From the Paper
""All Quiet on the Western Front" is a film that revolves around the life of soldiers during World War I, and is one of the most profoundly anti-war films of its age. It is a remake of the 1930 classic, which was itself a dramatization of the book by Erich Maria Remarque of the same name. "All Quiet on the Western Front" It depicts the journey of Paul Baumer from a young, callow student who believes the lies told to him by his country that war is glorious, to a hardened soldier who believes that the cause he is fighting for is meaningless, and there is no difference between himself and the men he is fighting in the trenches."

Abstract
This paper reviews "All Quiet on the Western Front", a 1979 film about the life of soldiers during World War I, directed by Delbert Mann. The author summarizes the film which follows the journey of the main character, Paul Baumer, from a young student who believes the lies told to him by his country that war is glorious, to a hardened soldier who believes that the cause he is fighting for is meaningless. The paper discusses the symbolism of Paul's drawing of a bird before he is shot and killed and also examines the themes of the film; humanity and the horrors of war.
From the Paper
"The film underlines the fact that only the governments and leaders of governments who are not risking their lives desire war. The film ends with Paul drawing a bird in the trenches, for one representative image of peace and nature in no man's land, when he is shot and killed. The bird symbolizes Paul's desire to fly free of where he is, and also his old, schoolboy interests and talents, which he abandoned to go to war. Throughout the film he tries to hold onto his drawing ability, to provide himself with some sense of identity outside of the military, although he has fewer and fewer positive images to sketch as the war wears on."

Abstract
This paper explains that murder has a profound affect on man as depicted in Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front"
when the protagonist Paul Baumer, gradually moving from an idealistic German student to an embittered and realistic young man forced to both see and perpetuate senseless carnage on men, forgets the reason for hating. The author points out that trapped in the mud of the no-man's land, Paul has his illusions shattered fairly quickly, though he still seems to cling to the belief that there can still be gentleness and beauty in the world. The paper relates that, although Paul has been responsible for men's deaths before, he never witnessed the exact moment that they stopped breathing, until he stabbed a Frenchman in a trench; even after the man has finally died, Paul cannot find his way back to total sanity.
From the Paper
"After several months in the war, Paul Baumer goes home. However, he is like the man from the country, who, once accustomed to the noise at night in the city, cannot readjust to the silence of the country. Coming home, he immediately realizes how many things have changed. He has become hardened, his mother is near death, and no one can comprehend what war is truly like. "But a sense of strangeness will not leave me, I cannot feel at home amongst these things. There is my mother, there is my sister, there my case of butterflies, and there the mahogany piano-but I am not myself there. There is a distance, a veil between us." (139). Paul is unable to resume the life he once led, even for just a few weeks. His father continually asks him questions, "...in a way I find stupid and distressing." (143). Paul is also offended by his old German-master, who patronizingly tells him, "You see only your little sector and so cannot have any general survey." (145). "

Abstract
The paper reveals that Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front" is probably the most successful war novel ever written. The paper discusses this tragedy that vividly conveys the physical horrors of war and looks closely at Remarque's descriptions of how war turned everything to a nightmare of senseless death.
From the Paper
"All Quiet on the Western Front is probably the most successful war novel ever written. Its publishers have called it the greatest war novel ever written. When it first appeared in its American edition, it was reviewed favorably by a number of publications, including The Nation, The New Republic, Saturday Review of Literature, and the New York Times. It was an overwhelming best-seller in Germany and throughout the world. In Germany, it caused a traumatic polarization of political views, as right-wing nationalists were outraged over its antiwar and antimilitary message. Alarmed over the popularity of the book, they staged riots in various cities to protest the showing of the 1930 film version of the book, preventing it from being shown in many places."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the character of Paul Baumer in Remarque's novel. It highlights, through example from the text, the social and individual effects of war. The author discusses the message of the book, that war is savagery, senseless and soul destroying.
From the Paper
"One example of this hardening is seen in the fighting scenes. For example, we read, "The front is a cage in which we must await fearfully whatever may happen" (101). He and the others are forced to deal with change constantly. He tells us that it "makes us indifferent" (101). But change comes in different forms and not always at once. For instance, when Baumer comes face to face with an enemy soldier, he cannot bring himself to kill him. However, in an instant, a basic animal instinct comes over him and he suddenly throws a grenade at the man, killing him. He realizes, "We have become wild beasts. We do not fight, we defend ourselves against annihilation" (113). Another important point we find is how the soldiers are not actually fighting each other as much as they are avoiding death. These scenes allow us to see how the war has hardened the men into creatures that are simply fighting to stay alive."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the character of the soldier, Paul Baumer, and examines the radical, irreparable change he undergoes as a result of being a solider. The paper uses scenes and passages described in the book to support this analysis.
From the Paper
"Baumer says of Kantorek, ?It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men? (10). In retrospect, Baumer realizes that his entire class was mislead by Kantorek, a nationalist, but he also realizes that it was not solely Kantorek?s fault. He says, ?There were thousands of Kantoreks, all of whom were convinced that they were acting for the best--in a way that cost them nothing. And that is why they let us down so badly? (12). Baumer recalls, ?In our hearts, we trusted them. The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom. But the first death we saw shattered this belief . . . the first bombardment showed us our mistake, and under it the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces? (12, 13). This illustrates how the boys had to grow up too quickly."

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes the book "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. Specifically, it gives an historical analysis of the book and looks at the question: "How and why does World War I have an impact on this novel? "All Quiet on the Western Front" is a war novel that brings the true horrors of war home to the reader in an effort to show the futility of war.
From the Paper
"All Quiet on the Western Front" may be one of the most classic and enduring novels about war, as it relates the story of young, innocent men caught up in the violence and bloody battles of trench warfare at its worst. World War I was the first war to make use of modern weapons, such as the machine gun and the airplane. It was the first war to introduce mass killing on a scale that no one thought possible, and the young men who fought in the war were often permanently wounded ? not only physically, but often mentally as well. The doctors called it "shell shock." Today they call it the "Gulf War Syndrome," or the "Vietnam War Syndrome." Men in war see horrific things on and off the battlefield, and they cannot forget them. The First World War began a long line of horrific battles, and the veterans who returned brought the horrors home with them, and often kept them buried deep inside."

From the Paper
"This study will examine three works' treatment of the common theme of searching for meaning in life under harrowing circumstances. The three works are Erich Maria Remarque's anti-war novel All Quiet on the Western Front, Charles Dickens's Hard Times, and Jurek Becker's Jacob the Liar. The novels deal with various aspects of European history which portray the rise of forces of dehumanization which occurred in the 19th and 20th century (through World War II). Remarque deals with world war and its impact on individual human beings.
Dickens' novel deals with social and economic forces which lead to the dehumanization of workers and children. Becker's novel deals with the dehumanization of victims of a second world war, and specifically with a victim of the Nazi concentration camps which were a central horror in that war. Each of the books also deals with the ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses Erich Maria Remarque's novel, "All Quiet On The Western Front." The paper highlights the theme of the lives of soldiers who survived WWI and the impact on their post-war lives and also examines their characters.
From the Paper
"World War I was called "The war to end all wars." Of course today we know differently. What makes this German anti war novel so powerful, is that it may well be one of the only books to look at the ordinary German soldier fighting in the trenches. Fighting and dying for a cause few understood."

From the Paper
"This study will discuss the army training of the protagonist Paul Baumer in the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque.
The training is described by the narrator/protagonist Paul in retrospect, so that his experiences are deepened by hindsight. The training is marked by an innocence on the part of the young men, an innocence which will be thoroughly eroded as they move into the actual war and its attendant horrors.
The first reference to the early days of his encounter with the military is made by Paul with respect to the recruiting by the schoolmaster Kantorek. Paul and the other young men have been clearly impressed by the patriotic emotion of Kantorek's recruiting message: "I can see him now, as he used to glare at us through his spectacles and say in a moving voice: 'Won't you join..."

From the Paper
"In Erich Maria Remarque?s All Quiet on the Western Front, changes in the basic structures of once stable societies cause enormous amounts of generational conflict. During the war, Germany was growing more and more into a technology driven mass society. The myriad changes brought by the war, and the different ways that the war experienced by the younger and the older generation caused many young Germans to question or turn away from the customs and beliefs of their parents and ancestors. Paul Baumer, the narrator of the novel, grows disgusted with the patriotism and arrogance of the older generation, which he feels tricked him and his comrades into enlisting in a terrible war."
