Jacob’s comments from the Ms. Nelson's Chain Crew group.

Day 1 Prediction
What I think will happen at the end of the book is what I will predict first. In 1917 after the U.S. got in the war everybody in the class will die. They will be killed one by one like Kantorek who died earlier. I think it will be Tjaden to die first

Day 2 Describe a part that surprised you

I was very surprised with some of the book. It had parts predictable too. A surprising part was when Detering shot those horses. I would have given more thought to it before acting.

Day 3 Describe your favorite part

My favorite part to date was when the bombardment started. It surprised me to hear the causality count of 5 dead 8 injured. She gave a realistic description of war then. The trench warfare had most casualties due to aircraft unreliability.

Day 4 Write a letter to the author

I would write a letter to the author if necessary. I live in Florida we do not learn American history in our schools till 10th or 11th grade. They still do not teach about the first world war. Minimal attention goes to the second war. They do not understand that this war was a difficult one to be fought. It needs more attention.

Day 5 Summarize

What happened was Detering shot horses that were injured to take them out of their misery. They group starts to build another trench, this is Paul's least favorite task. They have Himmelstoss come back and gets beat up by the group. Himmlestoss comes back again to put Tjaden in open arrest for disorderly conduct and succeeds.

I am reading All quiet on the western front (It's a little complicated)

I did all 5 last week because I wasn't sure so I did a review for the first day and comments for the other 4.
