"He sits down to eat as thin as a grasshopper and gets up as big as a bug." (Remarque 3)

The author uses two similes here to describe Tjaden's hunger, and the large amount that he usually eats. It gives the image of a kid as skinny as a grasshopper sitting down to eat who ends up eating so much that when he stands up afterwards his stomach bigger than a pregnant bug. This comparison of Tjaden to two different insects (a thin grasshopper and a pregnant bug) allows the reader to easily visualize just how much of a big eater Tjaden is.

"'Mighty fine fire-works if they weren't so dangerous.' One lands behind us. Some recruits jump terrified. A couple of minutes later another comes over, nearer this time. Kat knocks out his pipe. 'We're in for it.'" (Remarque 60)

In this passage the tone is both fearful and tense, as the soldiers are getting ready for to fend themselves from the bombardment. Although Kat tries to distract everyone with a little joke about shells's explosion looking like fireworks, everyone is very serious and on guard. The recruits in particular are portrayed as fearful about the situation, since this is their first time dealing with a bombardment in war. The tense tone help to reveal the extent of their fear.

“We have settled ourselves on the sunny side of the hut. There is a smell of tar, of summer, and of sweaty feet. Kat sits beside me. He likes to talk.” (Remarque 26)

Remarque succeeds in bringing the reader along with the characters by not only describing the physical setting, but more importantly the scent, temperature, and conversational environment of the characters. The detail the author uses when describing the setting -- such as it being sunny and smelling like tar and feet-- creates a mood that is both pleasant, due to the sun, but a little alarming, due to the unpleasant odors.

“I sit tensely and watch his every movement in case he may perhaps say something.” (Remarque 31)

Remarque indirectly characterizes Paul as loyal by portraying his relationship with his comrade, Kemmerich. Paul takes care of him when the orderlies treat him like trash, and Remarque illustrates this level of caring by saying that Paul sits tensely and watches his every movement. This displays the fact that Paul will always be with his friends and will never lead their side. The evidence  shows that Paul will always remain true towards his country and his comrades, and shows his devotion to his service, even when he is treated inadequately.

"The flesh melts, the forehead bulges more prominently. The cheekbones protrude. The skeleton is working itself through." (Remarque 28)

This quote uses vivid imagery of melting flesh to appeal to the reader's sense of disgust. The intense physical description shocks the reader by throughly describing a human body dying on the war front. The "bulging," "melting" skeleton is described in such detail to emphasize and prove the brutal violence of war to the reader.

We have a more complete communion with one another than even lovers have (Remarque, 94).
Kat and Paul are sitting opposite from one another cooking goose in the middle of the night. Even though they haven’t known each other for that long they are very interconnected just from the experiences of the war. It is a fact that traumatic and memorable experiences tend to connect people and there are few things more traumatic and memorable than war, especially World War One.

“The men cannot overtake the wounded beast which fly in their pain, their wide open mouth full of anguish…. Slowly, humbly, it stinks to the ground” (Remarque, p. 49-50).

This quotes shows the hardship of war and what the soldiers had to witness. It is described in detail to that the reader can have vivid details of the gruesome sene.

"These are wonderfully care-free hours. Over us is the blue sky. On the horizon float the bright yellow sunlit observation- balloons and the many little white clouds of the anti-aircraft shells."(Remarque 9)

Remarque is showing all the beautiful scenery around them and little messages to show that this is the calm before the storm and the nice before the bad that is approaching soon. Remarque uses this to portray what they have before the full on war happens and we see the unfortunate events that later transpires in the book.

“At that time even one’s parents where ready with the word ‘coward’;no one had the vaguest idea what they where in for” (Remarque 11).
This quotation highlights the atmosphere of nationalism in Europe at the time. The boys felt pressured into volunteering for the army because everyone expected them to, even their parents. If they didn’t join, they would be called names and ostracized, the extent of this shown in that even their parents would call them cowards for not enlisting. This highlights the nationalism in Germany and Europe at the time, with everyone excitedly rushing to enlist, or pushing others to enlist, because they see war as a positive event.

"Over us is the blue sky. On the horizon float the bright yellow, sunlit observation-balloons, and the many little white clouds of the anti-aircraft shells." (Remarque, 9).

The author gives the reader a deep description of what the characters are seeing in a peaceful setting before they enter a more harsh setting such as war. With the descriptions of how the sky looked set the readers into the realization of how pretty and peaceful the time can be. While not expecting the worst could come. Remarque gives the reader a deeper sense of how war can be calm at times but it can become severe.

“I open my eyes, my fingers grasp a sleeve, an arm, a wounded man? I yell to him, no answer. A dead man. My hand gropes farther, splinters of wood, now I remember that we are lying in a graveyard.” (Remarque 67)

This quote uses imagery to describe certain details about where he is and what it looks like but also the mood he is feeling while seeing all of these things. He leaves the reveal of where he is till the very end, highlighting grim and very visual details about the fact that he is in a graveyard with a dead body. Also the fact that he uses the fingers specifically to how he is feeling all of this adds to the image created because it is very specific to both things you know what they feel like, and using hands as how he felt.

“Suddenly a vision came over Tjaden. His sharp, mousy features began to shine, his eyes grew small with cunning, his jaws twitched, and he whispered hoarsely: "Man! then you've got bread for one hundred and fifty men too, eh?"” (Remarque ch 1)

Remarque including this helps show how tiring the day of battle was. Tjaden's reaction shows that he was heavily fatigued and by the addition of the number it helps set up the shock of there only being 80 people left alive. This addition helps establish how damaging the war was to their forces and to the soldiers in general.

“The man on the ground is a recruit. His hip is covered with blood; he is so exhausted that I feel for my water-bottle where I have rum and tea. Kat restrains my hand and stoops over him.” (Remarque 54)

The quote expresses the use of characterization for Paul and Kat as it shows their true feelings towards war. Paul is helpful and generous as even though the recruit was shelled and was mortally wounded with his hip busted, bursting with blood, Paul still thought about giving him rum and tea to aid him even though he is fully aware that the recruit probably wont make it out alive. On the otherhand, Kat, tells Paul to not even bother as he knows that the recruit will not make it out alive, indirectly telling Paul that it is a waste of resources. Displaying Kats realistic mindset that assists him throughout the war.

“we trot off silently in single file one behind the other. the wounded are taken to the dressing-station. the morning is cloudy. the bearers make a fuss about numbers and tickets, the wounded whimper. It begins to rain” (Remarque 73).

The author paints a weary and depressing scene for the audience. At this point the author is describing how soldiers felt after being attacked. The war later on has a major affect on all and changes their perspective and maturity levels. The order of the sentences and the words silently and whimper, and the description of the weather helps the reader clearly imagine what is going on as if they’re present.

"The earth is streaming with forces which pour into me through the soles of my feet. The night crackles electrically, the front thunders like a concert of drums."(Remarque 33).

This quote uses imagery of how the earth can feel at a certain time of anxiety. Which give the reader an idea of how the ground would feel during war and how the anxiety and tension would even build up into ones feet.

“…We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life…” (Remarque, 87).
The generation that’s had to fight in this war is ruined because of this war. The youth will not be able to dream it will erase them, their personalities and dreams, the war will leave them hollow and drifting. These boy’s with dreams are forced to leave those dreams and have to. Be pushed harshly into an unforgiving world were a great many of them will have their lives cut all too short.

“The war has ruined us for everything,” (Remarque 87).

This is a theme in All Quiet on the Western Front because it shows the underlying tone of Remarque not trying to show an adventure or journey, but how grueling and horrible war is. It represents the soldiers hatred for war, as it had ruined their life.

“We are little flames poorly sheltered by frail walls against the storm of dissolution and madness, in which we flicker and sometimes almost go out.”

This quote uses the metaphor of a flame to represent the soldiers and the war as a storm. The comparison shows the vulnerability of the soldiers amidst the destructive forces of war, and the constant struggle they face to survive. The metaphor also suggests that, like a flame, the soldiers may flicker or even be at risk of being extinguished, symbolizing the dangers and uncertainties of war.

“The screaming of the beasts becomes louder. One can no longer whence in this now quiet silvery landscape it comes; ghostly, invisible, it is everywhere, between heaven and earth it rolls on measurably.”

The Imagery is of the silver landscape , how it becomes ghostly and how the screams of the horses made the scenery seem that way. Remarque uses imagery to describe how the suffering animals cause everything to look ghastly and lifeless.

“Himmelstoss was thrown down, he rolled five yards and started to yell. But we were prepared for that and brought a cushion [. . .] immediately his voice was muffled” (Remarque 48).
The author uses this quote to portray how Himmelstoss was being beaten by narrator and Tjaden. Himmelstoss was wrapped in a white cover repeatedly being beaten by both participants. He uses the description of length and objects to try and put the reader in the place of the narrator especially with the novel being told in first person.

“I nod and wonder what to say to encourage him. His lips have fallen away, his mouth has become larger, his teeth stick out and look as though they were made of chalk.” (Remarque 28)

Remarque uses Imagery as a way of describing Kemmerich’s state. He describes his physical features to give the reader a sense of what he looks like and to understand the severeness of his state.

"I have kneded pair of prehistoric boots that were has hard as iron for 24 hours-with intervals of course- until they became as soft as butter and not even himmelstoss could find anything more to do with them." (Remarque 23)

In this shows quote shows imagery because the it uses words that are fimilaer and are used to and know what is is, to make you see what it is. The use of "soft as butter" makes you see soft butter and can allmost feel it and are see your self in that situation.

"We take our hands from our ears. The cries are silenced. Only a long-drawn, dying sigh still hangs on the air. Then only again the rockets, the singing of the shells and the stars there-"(Remarque,64)

This quote shows personification of the things happening around them. Implying that the last sighs of dying people still remain in the air is if he he can hear them dying. The author says the rockets are singing as if the sounds of rockets are like songs of shells. This helps me understand how Paul is taking in the events around him

"We go back. We trot off silently in single file one behind the other. The wounded are taken to the dressing-station. The morning is cloudy. The bearers make a fuss about numbers and tickets, the wounded whimper. It begins to rain." (Remarque 73)

This quote uses imagery to describe how gloomy it is by describing the morning as "cloudy". We can envision when it begins to rain. The author also mentions the wounded soldiers whimpering which allows us to better understand the mood. Remarque allows us to create an image of the soldiers heading back silently and the setting being gloomy.

I tremble with rage as I go along with the orderly. The man looks at me and says: “One operation after another since five o’clock this morning. You know, to-day alone there have been sixteen. There will probably be twenty altogether—”(Remarque 32)
With all the deaths due to the war, Remarque displays that the doctors or very used to the deaths, and based off the tone the doctors completely brush their deaths off as if they aren’t even human.
