End Reflection on the Novel

Now that you have finished reading All Quiet on the Western Front, please discuss these three questions with your critical friends. Post a response to one of these questions on your blog. Be sure to integrate the responses of your critical friends in your answer...

1. What is ironic, or dramatically unexpected about the novel's ending?

2. What images of the novel are lingering in your mind? Explain why these images made a lasting impression on you.

3. Do you think Paul can claim to speak for an entire "lost generation" when he speaks of the effects of war? In Paul's opinion war ruins those who survive as must as those who die. Do you think his fellow soldiers felt the same way about war?
