He promised them that they are going to be rewarded well and honoured for their bravery of fighting for their country. When Mr. Kantorek told the boys about the honor and reward of joining the war, he never told them that they are going to find themselves in inhumane conditions.

When he presses himself down upon her long and powerfully, when he buries his face and his limbs deep in her from the fear of death by shell-fire, then she is his only friend, his brother, his mother; he stifles his terror and his cries in her silence and security; she shelters him and gives him a new lease of ten seconds of life, receives him again and often for ever."]]> 2018-09-24 21:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shadyxvmotlhanke/ENGV221GROUPASSIGNMENT/wish/285265136 shadyxvmotlhanke https://padlet.com/shadyxvmotlhanke/ENGV221GROUPASSIGNMENT/wish/285266644 2018-09-24 21:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/shadyxvmotlhanke/ENGV221GROUPASSIGNMENT/wish/285266644 shadyxvmotlhanke https://padlet.com/shadyxvmotlhanke/ENGV221GROUPASSIGNMENT/wish/285267434 The young men were made to believe that by joining the war they would be considered as strong as iron, they would be seen as brave men]]> 2018-09-24 21:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/shadyxvmotlhanke/ENGV221GROUPASSIGNMENT/wish/285267434 shadyxvmotlhanke https://padlet.com/shadyxvmotlhanke/ENGV221GROUPASSIGNMENT/wish/285269426 The members of the community had a great influence also in carrying out propaganda. They disputed and discredited all the young men who did not join the army. The community would mock the young men who did not join the war and address them as lazy. It was sort of a taboo not to join the war according the society and as a result, many young men joined the war to avoid being called hurtful names.

Propagandists have to work like pickpockets; if they do their job right, the people may never know they even exist. They work behind the faces they give the people (the presidents, ministers or mayors).

But, the first death we saw shattered this belief. We had to recognize that our generation was more to be trusted than theirs. They surpassed us only in phrases and in cleverness. The first bombardment showed us out mistake and under it the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces."
