Today we almost finished reading chapter seven in All Quiet.  Please complete reading this chapter for homework.  On Friday, Mrs. Halliday will be asking you to write about the alienation, isolation and dislocation Paul feels while on leave.  I would like you to think of this "journal" as being more in the style of an expository essay, given that I want four or five paragraphs and I'd like you to use several references or quotes from chapter seven.  You may also write about the injustice and the justice that Paul encounters while on leave and how that adds to the sense of alienation from society and from his own past life before the war.
