Discussion on Monday

We discussed All Quiet on the Western Front in class on Monday.  We discussed how the book was incredibly popular in a time when very few books were getting international attention. One of the factors that caused the books success was the fact that it went so global.  In class the professor asked us if we thought the book was an anti-war book and our answer was a nearly unanimous yes.  We discussed how the death of every character in the book and the cause of the lost generation being the war.  All in all this book is undoubtedly one of the most influential novels of all time and is without a doubt relevant in some way to any person on earth.
