 * __ All Quiet on the Western Front __ **

__** Memorable Quotes: **__ “A few months ago I was sitting in a dug-out playing skat; after a while I stood up and went to visit some friends in another dug-out. On my return nothing more was to be seen of the first one, it had been blown to pieces by a direct hit. I went back to the second and arrived just in time to lend a hand digging it out. In the interval it had been buried.” “For one of them we search two days in vain. He must be lying on his belly and unable to turn over. Other wise it is hard to understand why we cannot find him; for it is only when a man has his mouth close to the ground that is impossible to gauge the direction of his cry.” “We see men living with their skulls blown open; we see soldiers run with their two feet cut off, they stagger on their splintered stumps into the next shell-hole; a lance-corporal crawls a mile and a half on his hands dragging his smashed knee after him; another goes to the dressing station and over his clasped hands bulge his intestines; we see men without mouths, without jaws, without faces; we find one man who has held the artery of his arm in his teeth for two hours in order not to bleed to death.” __**﻿Quotes from Critics:**__ "It is, to me, the greatest book about the war that I have seen. -- Christopher Morley in The Saturday Review of Literature "It should be distributed by the million and read in every school." -- Monde  "Unquestionably the best story of the world war." --H.L. Mencken.

"Surely the greatest of all war books. It stands pre-eminent." -- Manchester Guardian

My first video shows the horror of the war. It also shows how the trenches would have been like and the way he reacted when his friends were killed. When he is angry it shows that he takes his anger out on the man with the machine gun and kills him.

My second video shows how easily it is to die. It shows Paul going after a butterfly when a sniper sneaks up and kills him.

**__Description of Quotes:__** My first quote shows that war is one big chance. The main character was really lucky when he went between dugouts. When he left the second one it was blown up and before he got back to the first one it was blown up.

My second quote shows that war is painful and there isn't much you can do about it. When this man is injured and they can't find him it gets annoying and painful to listen too. Their officer in charge even offers three days break for whoever finds him. My third quote shows that war is absolute @#!*%. If I saw these things I would be scarred for life. The things he has seen and been through sounds horrible and painful.
