I will pay for the following essay All Quiet on the Western Front. The essay is to be 3 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

Bäumer and his colleagues have random chances at either life or death on a daily basis. He expresses dissolution and loses touch with reality as the war takes a toll on his emotional stability. The older and more experienced soldiers are not any different as they express their frustrations with the war, "We are not youth any longer. We don't want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing from ourselves, from our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world, and we had to shoot it to pieces" (Maria, 1929. pg. 124).

The author of the novel addresses specific themes all of which portray the adverse effects of war. Key among the themes in the book is the horror of war. Maria presents war as a harrowing experience that causes both physical and psychological injury to the soldiers. Paul Bäumer experiences such horrors of war. They live in the constant fear of death. The deplorable living conditions in the trenches expose most of them to various diseases. Lack of training for the young soldiers picked from school intensifies the risk of death while the lack of food further worsens their experiences. The author builds an inherent conflict between patriotic idealism and the carnage and gore in the battlefield. Paul Bäumer’s teacher Kantorek encourages them to keep fighting for their country giving all the benefits of the war for the Germans. However, the carnage and gore of the battlefield paint a different picture of the war thus proving that the worthlessness of the risk.
