War strips all the baggage of life away from the participant, leaving only the raw emotion to be endured by the soldier. Fear, hate, passion, confusion, e...

World War One One By One
1,058 wordsErich Maria Remarque wrote "All Quiet On The western Front." The book focuses on the hardships of soldiers fighting on the Western Front in France in World War One in order to show the furtiveness of war. The book is written in first person and it is written from a German's point of view because the author, Remarque, was a German.

Furthermore, the effects of the war were not just concentrated to a post-war era lasting for a generation of Westerners. No, the effects of the war were widespread throughout the world ...
