Chapter 7 Socratic

Chapter 7 was much more slow and depressing than the quick passed chapter six, chapter 7 was more of a question on how Paul will fare after years on the front. 

In it he visits his family, and feels like he doesn’t belong there, he isn’t a child anymore, the front has made him a man, and as a man he doen’t feel comfortable at homme, in fact, his home probably feels like the font, as much of a hellhole of a home as it can be.

t one point fairly early on in the chapter Paul and his friends hook up with somme French girls, a young man’s dream, but it isn’t Pauk’s it turns out, and he isn’t able to enjoy it, he’s lost too much to be able to enjoy it.

Chapter 7 is about the psychological effect on soldiers, Paul has PTSD, and get’s startled quite often, the war has taken a toll on him and the other soldiers, and robbed them of their childhood, which is never coming back.
