Character Review

Stanislaus "Kat" Katczinsky:

Kat in the film and book All Quiet on the Western Front takes the main leadership role over Paul Baumer and his platoon. Kat is by far the eldest and teaches the young soldiers many tactics that are vital to their survival and teaches them how to be resourceful. Out of everything I took away from the book and film it is that Kat is extremely resourceful and scavenges whatever he can to help himself or others close to him. Whether it was stealing a pig or making sure his company got all the extra rations or even when in battle he uses his hand shovel in combat. Kat is and was the reason many of his men survived as long as they did and he taught the main character Paul many things which helped him survive. Kat was the main leader in my eyes on and off the battle field.

Presentation Review:

• The task our group had was to present information on Industries/Workplace in Germany in the 20th and 21st century to the class.
• My group consisted of myself, Talimatou (Tyler) Peniata, Robert Olson, Tim Olson, and Bikash Bhalia.
• The way we completed this task was combining our work and research on a google docs presentation and we all compiled our own research onto the presentation each doing roughly 2-3 slides of research.
• Suggestions? None, by now the students in this class know what to expect and how long an appropriate time is to present.

Presentation Review:

• The task our group had was to present information on German Inventions and Industries in during the 18th and 19th centuries.
• My group consisted of myself, Talimatou (Tyler) Peniata, Brianne Stamer and Greg Koubsky.
• The way our group completed this task was by all researching our own information but communicating so that way we didn't duplicate information then we presented separately.
• Suggestions? None, I enjoyed working and presenting with my group and researching.
