All Quiet on the Western Front reading assignments

Expectation for each assignment:
To show you've done the assigned reading, please make note of three parts of the reading that strike you (because you found them emotional, significant to the story, had a question about what was happening, etc.) and briefly describe why you chose them.  Indicate where in the reading it occurred by citing the page and including a brief textual reference (quote).  Select something from the beginning, middle and end of the reading to show you read the entirety of the assignment.
