#ATCFBookClub All Quiet On The Western Front
All Quiet On The Western Front #ATCFBookClub Study guide:
Discussion on Vance Crowe's YouTube page at 7:30 pm Tuesday February 4.
Anyone is welcome to join the book club- this will be the first time we have held it on YouTube live so we will be learning as we go. Below is a list of questions to get you thinking before the book club begins.
Book Expectations:
What did you think a book about WWI would be like?
What did you know about trench warfare and where this story took place?
How did it feel to be on the side of the Germans?
At what point did you begin to realize how dark the book was going to get?
Characters:
Which characters stick out to you the most?
Are there any of the comrades that you had negative feelings toward?
Were there any actions they took (stealing chickens, visiting women illegally, beating up Himmelstoss etc.) that you didn’t understand, or made you think less of them?
Which deaths were the most difficult for you to witness?
Adversaries:
Between the teacher Kantorek and the petty tyrant Himmelstoss which was more grating to you?
When Himmelstoss was moved to the war front; how did you feel about him when he cowered in the bunker and Paul Baumer throws him out calling Himmeltoss a coward?
Moments in battle:
Out of dozens of fighting scenes which ones left the biggest impression on you?
How clearly were you willing to imagine the horror?
How did you feel about the new recruits that came in.
Crossing back towards the German line after getting lost, what did you think of that scene?
Time away from the battlefield
Have you ever been as distant from your family as he was on leave? How did you feel during that time home?
What was your impression of the way his father and mother treated him?
The men disobeyed commanders to visit the women; if they had been caught, what “should” have happened to them?
Katczinsky kept “finding” food- what do you think his secret was?
One-liners
Look back through the book, do you have any parts that are underlined that stood out to you?
It is interesting to note that when Hitler came to power 6 years after the book was written, it was declared unpatriotic and outlawed. Later Erich Maria Remarque’s sister was beheaded by the German government after he had fled with his (ex) wife to Switzerland and later the US.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fighter Mike Rethmeyer
Mike Rethmeyer is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Master. He learned to fight because he had to- he had been picked on mercilessly and no one was willing to step in.
Mike Rethmeyer is a world class martial artist. He was exposed to violence at a young age and had to learn how to control his temper and rage. After beating another child up so badly that the kid lost part of his eyesight, Rethmeyer decided he needed to learn to fight- what he learned instead was the path to discipline. A path he is still on to this day.
During the interview we discuss growing up as a kid that was bullied, the belt system in BJJ, and how one makes the most out of training BJJ.
In other news: earlier this week Vance released a video of him talking about how ideas spread into society:
