"Finish the book. As you read, focus on motifs and also on weather, seasons, and elements of settings that connect with this idea, marking passages that connect and using your annotations to explore you thinking about them."
In the book All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque there are a bunch of motifs that really stick out to me after finishing this book. The things that stick out to me is the obsessive ways they talk about the sanitary conditions in the trenches and all the places they sleep, eat, and even dream and how it isnt the cleanest places in the world. Another thing that sticks out to me is how they talk about the treacherous noises of crackling machine guns and explosions left and right across no mans land. Though out my annotations I really start to see how all the soldiers are alot like brother. They cry for there mothers, and each others family's together. They see each other live die and enjoy life. They go through more together than any brothers ever will. Over all the pages in this book it really explains to me how war was really like and the things they really emphasize for the reader to understand more about what they truly went through and they feeling and thoughts they had together.

Finish ch 10, As you read, make connections to Reed's poem, marking the passage and the nature of the connection. Also, continue to focus on motifs as you read. What patterns do you notice? Why are they interesting? Important? How does they further the text's messages?
In the book all Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque Reed's poem comes up in chapter 10. Reed's poem relates to the book very well. In the poem the drill sergent is telling the new cadets of all the gun parts that makes up a gun. One of the cadets in the poem thinks how the diffrnet parts to a gu remind him of certian things. In the poem the cadet really exsplains how he views everything the drill sergent is telling them about the gun parts. This relates to the book because it views Pauls thoughts and mind set in the war and the differnt things that come to his mind and his reactions.

"Rd ch 8 and beginning of ch 9(-pg 202). Focus your annotations on your assigned character(s). What is his/ their perspective? Rows 1-3: Paul Rows 4-6 Russians soldiers."
In the book All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque the perspective of the Russia soldiers is sad almost. On page 191 Paul says the Russians have long since parted with whatever things they had. There for every little thing the Russians have pitiful clothing and small things like shell fragments exchanging with one one other. This shows they are in fact really close with the things from war they own. Like that those things are a part of them now since they lived the life a soldier in the war. The fact they only have that to trade for bread or exchange it for anything else is really sad and shows how much value stuff has when your in war.

"Finish ch 5 focusing your annotations on the relationship between Paul and Kat. Find passages that describe their relationship and analyze what that quote revels about their relationship."
In the book All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque on page 94 Kate and Paul are cooking a goose in the middle of the night. Paul says, "we don't talk much, but i believe we have a more complete communication with one another then even lovers have." Showing that they lived though so much and they have seen and just spend so much time in such a hard time knowing that just there closet friends shaded the biggest ups and downs of the war all together with each other. The fact they did all that together shows there really closer than married or people in love have shared cause of everything they lived though together.
