All quiet on the westren front review

      In class we reviewed the book All Quiet on the Western Front that we were all supposed to read.  We went over some key topics on what the book was trying to say.  some of those topics were: talking about the author's success from this book, loosing identity after coming back from war, and how people can change when they are put in war situations.
      when talking about the author we went over how he had wrote articles for newspapers and small books that never got noticed.  But once he wrote All Quiet on the western Front it became and instant success and he never wrote another book because it made so much money.  We also went over that when soldiers come back from war and it's completely over with, they will have troubles rebuilding their identity.  It's hard because they have nothing when they come back into society and they have to learn how to adapt back into normal civilian life.  the last thing we talked about that the book showed was that people change when you go to war.  All the friends were youthful before they went to war and once they actualy got there they all became aggressive when they had to fight.
