Question 1
The following excerpt is the epigraph from All Quiet on the Western Front. An epigraph is a sentence or short paragraph that prefaces a book. Read the excerpt and then answer the questions.

This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.

Question 2
In the following excerpt, the author explores the relationship between the older generation—those with authority, such as teachers, parents, or government leaders—and the younger generation. Read the excerpt and then answer the questions.

For us lads of eighteen they ought to have been mediators and guides to the world of maturity, the world of work, of duty, of culture, of progress—to the future. We often made fun of them and played jokes on them, but in our hearts we trusted them. The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom. But the first death we saw shattered this belief. We had to recognise that our generation was more to be trusted than theirs. . . . The first bombardment showed us our mistake, and under it the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces.

While they continued to write and talk, we saw the wounded and dying. While they taught that duty to one's country is the greatest thing, we already knew that death-throes are stronger. But for all that we were no mutineers, no deserters, no cowards--they were very free with all these expressions. We loved our country as much as they; we went courageously into every action; but also we distinguished the false from true, we had suddenly learned to see. And we saw that there was nothing of their world left. We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.

Question 3
In this excerpt, the author writes about a scene in a war hospital. Read the excerpt and then answer the questions:

A man cannot realize that above such shattered bodies there are still human faces in which life goes its daily round. And this is only one hospital, one single station; there are hundreds of thousands in Germany, hundreds of thousands in France, hundreds of thousands in Russia. How senseless is everything that can ever be written, done, or thought when such things are possible. It must all be lies and of no account when the culture of a thousand years could not prevent this stream of blood being poured out, these torture-chambers in their hundreds of thousands. A hospital alone shows what war is.

Question 4
Think again about the causes of World War I. Nationalism was one of the main causes. It can be defined as extreme feelings of loyalty or devotion for one’s country. Feelings of nationalism led the people fighting in the war to believe that they were fighting for a right and just cause. Additionally, as you’ve learned, literature prior to World War I glorified war, making it seem heroic or even romantic. Based on the excerpts that you read from All Quiet on the Western Front, what did Erich Maria Remarque think about the nationalism that caused the war? Why do you think he decided to write a book that showed the war experience to be so harsh and cruel? Your answer should be about 100 to 200 words long. It should also provide evidence from the excerpts or from any outside research that you conduct. Be sure to list any sources that you use.

Question 1:

Part A:

I think that the main point of the excerpt is to tell the readers to keep in mind and be aware of the damage that the war has done to a generation of men.

Part B:

I think the author said that the book is “least of all an adventure” because the book talks about the cruelty of wars and that death is not something to take lightly like an adventure.

Part C:

The “Lost Generation” relates to the excerpt from All Quiet on the Western Front because it refers to the men who even though escaped, were so destroyed by the war that they no longer felt like they had a purpose in life.

Question 2:

Part A:

In the excerpt, the author’s main point about the relationship between the generations is that there is a big difference between what was once expected by older generations, versus what is now expected by older generations. Back then, the younger generation saw the older generation as wise and mature, but after seeing their flaws and immaturity, they lost trust in them. Now that the younger generation has seen the wars and conflict created by older generations, they have lost trust in them and started to learn nothing from them.

Part B:

From the author’s perspective, I think the main difference between the older generation and the younger generation is that while the older generations learned and followed traditions from their authorities, the younger generation had to make their own decisions and create their own base to find the path in life.

Question 3:

Part A:

We already know that the number of casualties of World War I is not accurate. Some say 9 million died while others say 15 million died. In the excerpt, the narrator explains what war looks like in a hospital. He explains how the dead bodies are not only dead bodies as they still have human faces. The author then doubts how people can bring such horror to the world as they put deaths into large numbers.

Part B:

The last passage, “A hospital alone shows what war is”, explains how you can only see the real effects of war in a hospital. The hospital is the only place that actually shows the great damage war can do and the number of deaths that it brings.

Question 4:

War novels often romanticized what war was like and made war seem like a symbol of glory, honor, and adventure. The novel “All Quiet on the Western Front” was written to show what war was really like. It was not to be taken lightly like an adventure and was not romantic and meaningless. World War I is the main factor in our understanding of military struggle nowadays. It was a violent war that lasted for several months and should not be seen as romantic and heroic.
