All Quiet On the Western Front is a book about more than war, Paul's experience in WWI is one of violence, death and tragedy, but his is also a story of loneliness and camaraderie, of love and sacrifice. A war novel not unlike others, about a soldiers relationships in the trenches, sharing directly many sentiments from Farewell to Arms. Whether the soldier gets companionship from women, a stranger and enemy, or eachother, this contact with someone just as fragile, but also concrete, as himself gives
prepacked. As Psalm 139:16 says “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be”. Even before coming into this world, God has already looked at my entire life, determined what my life’s assignment is going to be, and gave me the tools to be able to accomplish the job which I am supposed to do. I was packed on purpose for a purpose. My humble beginning dates back to 1979 when I was born to my parents who work as private school employees
I was placed in the unit mailroom, I thought that it would be a cakewalk and just a really chilled job. From my perspective at that particular time, the job seemed like it wouldn’t be too stressful and nothing I wouldn’t have to take seriously. I just wanted to get it over with; like it was just a prerequisite for the new guy in the unit to do his time in the mailroom. Months later in my career, I then realized the real impact you can have on the unit as a whole while being in the mailroom. I wish

these comfort women do not only include their experiences, but also the pain, trauma, grief, and shame, and all of these are with them throughout their life. Just like Catalina Lorenzo, one of the Filipino comfort women, stated, “Do you think we have forgotten what had happened?” Everyday we wake up and it’s in our head. Every night we go to sleep, and it is with us again….It is always with us,

allowed being brought up looking at it like it's a goal. We cannot define beauty when it comes in all different shapes, sizes, and shades. The ideal body is a big butt, glass figure, and small feet. All social media, I have never seen so many butts in my life. Where I go to look it could be Twitter, Instagram, snapchat, and even Pinterest I see a pretty model wearing thongs. I look at those girls and wonder is it real or fake, or question myself they used to look like me. In college, people expect me as

(pg 1) Aside from having a major literary voice in the roaring twenties and thirties, his personal life resulted in the creation of his best novels known today.

I myself do not have any questions specific to the author, but I am interested to hear even more personal experiences. I will
