Assignment #3 Reading All Quiet on the Western Front

After read this novel, I found this is an anti-war novel. Throughout “All Quiet on the Western Front” the notion of common humanity acts as one of the greatest anti-war messages communicated. Author does not simply not glorify war, and tells us the war is very terrible. The war can  destroy people's dream, and the so-called patriotism.  The novelist  communicate the human side of war, almost as a direct affront to the centuries of novels that have favored the patriotic and nationalistic over the human cost. The war can destroy every, include human civilization. When the war and death come, human is very small. Human cannot resist death. In the novel ,most importantly, it is the death of emotion which arguably, in the world of war, was Paul’s greatest enemy. In the novel, Paul discovers that the only truth underlying war is that all parties, enemies and allies alike, are human beings—not faceless creatures. In my opinion, this is a good  anti-war novel. Author uncover the war is terrible, and the war can destroy every thing. The war brings death and pain to human.
