Where is Baumer when this passage opens? What is his greatest fear?

What passage are you referring to?

The whole.....

Passages are sections or at least chapters within the book. I need to know where you are referring to in order to give you an accurate answer.

The part that starts "I lie huddled...."

Paul is in a shell hole. He is trying to pretend he is dead in the water. He fears suffocating in it. His greatest fear is dying in agony like the soldier he is next to.

Thanks. The same chapter for the other questions I have asked.
