All Quiet on the Western Front CNZ

I am wondering when they will go back to the front line.  I feel that Paul Baumer is one of the few that still has a sense of civility since he would not let Muller take Kemmerich’s boots.  I like how the book is not like others it doesn’t start in the middle of the battle, but with the feelings and situation after a major loss of people from the last battle.  This book so far reminds me of A Farewell to Arms, because again there is a young main character that is struggling to deal with the  war and the losses from the war.  Both of the main characters seem to be overwhelmed with the war, so its full effects are not fulling  influencing them.  Erich Maria Remarque was born in Germany in 1898, he started writing at a young age.  At the age of 18 he enlisted in the army.  Toward the end of the war he was sent to an army hospital, he was wounded in left leg right arm and neck.
