All Quiet on the Western Front
Chapter responses: In addition to other work on this novel, you will write a journal
response for each chapter of All Quiet on the Western Front – I will collect and check
these periodically and when we finish reading the book. Your response will include the
following:
Summary/theme – Write a paragraph of several sentences (8-10, at least) in which you
summarize the plot. In this paragraph, please examine the theme of the chapter and
explain why you name that theme.
Personal reaction – Write a several-sentences-long paragraph in which you describe
your thoughts on/reactions to the events of this chapter.
Language study – Pick (and write down with page numbers) two passages that strike
you as affective: interesting, particularly powerful, or whatever. Analyze why these
passages stand out (word choice, author’s intent, description, imagery, symbols, concept).
Your analysis should be 4-5 sentences per passage.
● Please write each chapter response on a separate page and keep them all together. On
each page, put your name, date, and chapter number in the upper-left corner.
