Some soldiers like Paul and Katczinsky even feel a father/son relationship with each other. “We don’t talk much, but I believe we have a more complete communion with one another than even lovers have” (page 94). The war has brought them together. It has made them rely on each other for survival and has brought them to forget the horrors of war. http://www.123helpme.com/view.asp?id=51945

Describe briefly the goose-napping caper. Since the scene is, in, parts, humorous, it provides what literary function in the novel?

@tanner23456 It's not in that document

tanner23456 · Answer

Chapter 5 also includes a scene of friendship and affection between Paul and Kat. They go after a goose and end up killing, roasting, and eating it in a shed away from the others. It is a quiet moment of contentment, in which Paul declares to himself, "We are brothers." They take some of the meat to share with Tjaden and Kropp http://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/a/all-quiet-on-the-western-front/summary-and-analysis/chapter-5
