Glogster Explanation

  • the background is blood, which is normally associated with pain
  • I chose pictures that related to pain and the pain caused by the war because that is the main theme of the book; that each of these young soldiers became "old" at the end of the war even though they were only 23-24 years old by wars' end. 
  • the quotes are from the book, which all describe the pain and suffering felt by the soldiers in the trenches and the horrors they saw  
  • the famous quote is at the bottom is saying that in war no soldier escapes the pain of war, be it physical or emotional
  • I guess that the overall meaning of this collage is that pain is more than skin deep. It affects the very soul of a person, and can and does change a persons personality from a lighted hearted, happy person to a cold hearted cynic. This pain is also necessary for their growth as it sometimes helps them become more complete human beings who do not doubt themselves and can handle an otherwise devastating event that would destroy any other person.
