10 "What if" Questions

What if the Paul's old teacher did NOT temp them to join the war?

What if Paul did not meet the French soldier that he killed by his own hands?

What if someone saw Paul and his friend going to see the French women.

What if Paul did not meet Kat?

What if Paul was not dead at the end of the war.

What if the author did not write about the revenge of Paul and his friend to Himmelstoss?

What if Paul's father against to sent Paul to the war? (What if his father was not very patriotic?)

What if the author did not write about the really grotesque scenes?

What if Paul kept having a hope?

What if Paul was not interested in butterflies?






This is the one I chose.

What if the author did not write about the revenge of Paul and his friends to Himmelstoss?


If the author did not write about the revenge of Paul and his friends to Himmelstoss, this book shows less terror of the war. I guess, by telling us about the revenge, this story tells us that the war is terrible. The revenge was just a youth playing. That was just funny. For us, right now, if we revenge a teacher like that, it will be a big problem. But during WWI, there were more terrible things happening. On the front, Paul and his friends experienced real war. It is not easy, and they are at the risk of their life. And they lost their youth.
The difference between the revenge and the fighting on the front shows us how they changed from the fun youth to soldier without a human being.
