"Read ch. 6. What images, objects, or ideas does Remarque repeat? Consider this chapter and others. Look for these patterns and, when you find them, reflect on what these patterns reveal."
In the book All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque there are some big patterns he reveals about war and the trench life. The number one pattern in this chapter and other chapters was the sanitary problems they had in the war. The number one problem was the rats on pages 101-107 they briefly talk about the rats getting into there food and carrying diseases.To the point were they clam on page 103 to make war with the rats in a scenes they cause that much trouble for them. Not only do they have to worry about the cracking and loud noises of bombs and guns going off the one thing they have like food and water is being poisoned by rats that makes a huge problem.

Guided Questions: Chapter 4 through page 64 ("horses in the war"), focusing on comparisons. What does Remarque use metaphorical language to compare men to in this section? Why is Remarque making these comparisons? What is he trying to suggest?
In the book All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque they use plenty of comparisons to make it easier for the reader to understand the content of the book. Such as when he writes i shot as flat as a fish. This compares to when there are lying and ducking shooting out of the trench. All they do is lay as flat to the ground out of the trench to avoid bullets and still hide themselves behind the trench. This is what they had to do in the trenches to stay alive. He is suggesting that how hard it was to even stay alive in the trenches and shooting the enemy is.

"Finish ch. 2 focusing on Franz and his friends reaction to him. How does Remarque indirectly characterize Frank? His friends? What theme is Remarque beginning to reveal?"
In All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque in chapter two Remarque really characterizes Frank on page 27 how he really talks Frank in to being thankful he doesnt have to get both his legs ampuitated and he thinks right after he can go home. This shows hes really trying to look on the positive side really trying to cheer him up or let him know even though he wont have a leg that its not the end. This shows that Remarque really cares for his friends in trying to look on the bright side of things in the war. Showing hes a caring person trying his hardest making it easy for other people.
