Congratulations! You've reached the final chapters of All Quiet on the Western Front.

Before reading Chapters 10-12, there are some vocabulary words to define. Look up the following words in either a print or online dictionary (Dictionary.com) and write down their definitions on a separate sheet of paper. Then, write a sentence for each word using it correctly in the sentence's context.
idyll | eiderdown | petrified | |||
uppish | fastidious | palmy | |||
baldaquin | chattel | perambulator | |||
litany | hitherto | surreptitious | |||
convoy | discomfited | proffer | |||
fatuous | forlorn | rapt | |||
commissariat | banal | evasive | |||
niggard | superfluous |
Now that you've finished defining the vocabulary terms and writing sentences for them, it's time to read Chapters 10-12. Remember to have your All Quiet on the Western Front Characters handout (from the first Related Lesson in this series) nearby to fill out any final information about the characters from the last chapters in the novel.
When you've finished reading Chapters 10-12, move on to the Got It? section to check your knowledge of these chapters.
