Character Self-Revelation Speech
Stanislaus
Katczinsky
I am known as Kat. Before the war, I had long since
been a cobbler and veteran even before these young soldiers were born. Now,
here I am, and these boys can’t even hear a shell coming to save their lives.
No matter; I warn them and teach them how to recognize danger. To see such
unprepared soldiers coming to the line ignites sadness. A young boy who surely would
have died was cradled in Paul’s arms. We had to end his misery with a bullet.
It happens too often; it is tiring and bleak. My final moments are spent with
my dear friend Paul, who does all he can to save me after being shot in the
shin and taking shrapnel to the neck. Rest Paul, for it is our turn to watch
over you as you continue this never-ending war.
