ckly to make sure that they didn't get too high. Fight to keep their high egos or give in and go along with the way authorities wanted them to be, were the only two choices that the soldiers had. In conclusion, this has good examples of the mind against reality and the conflicts that come along with them, and Remarque describes them well. But the story wasn't to mainly just look at the conflicts, but to get a look at the war from Germany's side. Although the conflict does help the reader to understand the book and the message from it. Hopefully people will see that war is the same on both sides, and that someone is going to get hurt whether their side wins or loses. The author showed a look at war, in reality, and not sugar coated, and he also did it in a interesting way. This is a very good book, and it will be excellent for anyone who wants to understand the entire meaning of war and not just bits and pieces. I HAVE SEEN WAR I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded.....I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed....I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives.
