237 Words1 Pages
At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Paul and his friends Albert Kropp, described as a clear thinker; Muller, who has passion for learning and still carries textbooks; Leer, ladies man; Tjaden, a locksmith; Haie Westhus, a peat digger; Detering, a poor farmer who can think only of getting back to his wife; and Stanislaus Katczinsky, forty year-old man who is the leader of the group. As the book progresses we follow the gang through the day-to-day monotony of war, the futile advances and retreats, and the senseless deaths of the new recruits who are not properly trained before being cast into battle. With each day passes war takes its toll on them. All Quiet On The Western Front is a powerful book that has stood the test of time
