catholicinsd Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah, I just finished reading it and it was very powerful. In our present situation I found it to be very poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) I read it and wrote an 8 page paper (I think it was around 8 pages, anyway) on it my senior year of highschool. Remarque is a very good writer. Edited January 11, 2007 by MissScripture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan1104 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I saw the movie in global class. Don't shoot me (pun intended) but I didn't find it that powerful at all? I'll try reading the book though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I read it sophomore year in high school. Don't remember a lot of it at this point. I think I saw the movie in class too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I don't remember too much of it, so it didn't mean too much to me. Hmm. If I and other classmates weren't moved, is it that important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God the Father Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 That book was so boring. It took like four hundred pages just to kill Paul off. And I was supposed to mark up the book with highlighting and everything so I missed twenty points and my first quarter grade was almost totally wrecked. And it was nothing I hadn't already read before. War is bad! Except for rich people! Free love! Have a hit of this, brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda blunt, don't you think? Oh well .... I liked the book. Remarque IS an excellent writer, and I was glad to see an accurate picture of WWI, especially since I didn't know much about it at the time that I read it (four years ago).... My history teacher this year is huuuuge into WWI, so I know a lot more about it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick777 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Read the book, then was forced to watch the movie in class over a 3 or four day period...it was a really long movie. I didn't really like it that much...I dunno...maybe it was because it was homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinamo Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 we read some of it last year in US & Modern World History. We watched some of the movie too. Pretty graphic!! Great insight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
