Describe the documents briefly.
These two documents (a memoir; a collection of poems) are different in form, but they are both
pieces of literature and both deal with the experience of soldiers in World War I.
What does Storm of Steel tell us about Ernst Junger’s experience of war? Give specific examples
to support your points.
What is Junger’s overall view of war? Provide evidence from the text.
Compare Junger’s views of the war with those of Siegfried Sassoon. Think about how German
and British memories and perspectives of the war differ, at least as seen in these documents. Cite
evidence from the texts to support your arguments.
Finally, in your concluding paragraph, briefly comment on the interesting fact that the two
writers have such different memories of the war.
