A Glorified Trench War “No finer death in all the world than…’ Anything to participate‚ not to have to stay at home.” This quote is an example of Junger’s view on the war. Does Storm of Steel Glorify War? Yes. Compared to other accounts of World War I‚ such as the film “All quiet on the Western Front‚” Storm of Steel does seem to somewhat promote the war.

The plot of the story "The Storm" by Kate Chopin is a conventional everyday plot. The story would not be so interesting if it weren’t for the last line of the story; "So the storm passed and everyone was happy." What did she mean by the closing line?
