My own interpretation of the book is the emotion war has on a person. The whole book is based on the German war in WWI, with Paul Baumer the main character narrating his experience serving as a young man at the age of 19. Paul and many of his friends from high school join the army willingly. In the book they experience many deaths as all of Paul’s friends even their commander eventually all die in the War. The book shows many different emotions. It shows a mix of being strong willed, sadness, fear, surprise, and even some happiness. You can tell that the soldiers grew a strong bond with one another.
