1.      What is the truth of war the author is trying to convey in this book?
2.      Is this an anti-war novel?  Why/why not?
3.      What do you think is the passage in this book that best expresses the truth of war?  Quote it, and explain why you chose it.
4.      When Paul goes on leave, why does he react so negatively to being home?  Why does he say, on page 185, that he should never have gone on leave?
5.      Chapter 9 is a turning point in the book.  What crucial realization does Paul have in this chapter?
