All Quiet On The Western Front help me with homework: Explain what you think accounts for the divergence or similarity

All Quiet on the Western Front is one of many novels about war written during the 20th century. Among other well-remembered ones are A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway (1929), The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer (1948), Catch 22 by Joseph Heller (1955), Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut (1969), and A Midnight Clear by William Wharton (1980). Choose a 20th century novel on war, not necessarily one of those just mentioned, and explore how this book’s characters, tone and messages parallel or contrast with those in All Quiet on the Western Front. Explain what you think accounts for the divergence or similarity of the two authors’ viewpoints.
