The Death of a Regular Soldier
At the the end of the book Paul talks about being the last one in his group that is alive. He describes how it feels and what he thinks he is going to be good for after the war. The narrator suddenly changes and they explain that Paul is dead. But they ended up saying that it is "All quiet on the Western Front". In class we talked about why they said that the day was all quiet. What I dont understand is why don't they explain anymore on the subject of Paul death. I would think that people would want to know how Paul had died. I feel like it would of made the end of the book better. All and all this was a great book and I enjoyed it very much.

I like how you made the title the death of an original soldier it shows what you are going to say it shows that one life does not matter. I also like how you stated your opinion on the book saying it was good and i totally agree.
ReplyDeleteThey don't explain it much, because he is not special to the war effort. We're supposed to understand his death and others death were not very important.
