Turn to Chapter 10 where Paul and Kropp are sent to a Catholic hospital behind the lines. After Paul is well enough to move about, he discovers just how many different categories of wounded men are in the same hospital. Find that section and review Paul's ideas. The crying of the horses dramatizes in quite a different way how directly contrary to nature war is. This question takes you directly to Chapter 7 in which Paul goes home on leave.
Examples follow one another quite rapidly within that chapter.
Ones you might want to include are the major who does not seem to understand anything about war and insists on marching and saluting, and the armchair strategists who tell Paul he couldn't possibly understand the overall picture of the war since he is fighting in only one part of it. Even Paul's mother, who seems more understanding than they, reduces the war to a discussion of how to get a safe job and the need to be careful of French women. In each example state what happened or was said and show that it is foreign to Paul by contrasting it with the kinds of things he has been experiencing at the front. The comment occurs in a discussion of plans for after the war in Chapter 5 and refers specifically to Paul, Kropp, and their classmates. In your answer contrast Paul and his classmates with other soldiers who have jobs or wives to return to.
