-What I learned about myself from this project is that, if I am made to reflect after every chapter or at least every few chapters, I will comprehend the story better and be able to connect with the characters and what is taking place.

5. What did you learn about war? About life’s lessons?

-From reading All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque, I learned that war is truly a devastating and scary experience. There is so much death and so many things taking place at one time that thought of survival is merely just hope. Another thing that I learned about war and about one’s life lessons is that Friendship is something that one should cherish and hold close at all times. Without friendship, you have nothing. Loyalty is another thing that is needed to survive difficult situations, especially war. With each others help you can make a difference and you are guaranteed to have a better chance of doing so by working together, as a team.
