If the story of "All Quiet on the Western Front" was told today, the story would be much different, especially if it was told from the viewpoint of an American soldier involved in the War on Terror. First, the protagonist would not be coming from a nation that is in a state of total war. The War on Terror is a limited war and does not require the undivided focus of the American government, industry, and economy. A soldier, today, would likely be volunteering to join the military, instead of being all but forced to like the characters in "All Quiet on the Western Front." Second, the total detachment the soldiers in "All Quiet on the Western Front" feel from their civilian lives would not be as pronounced, given how today's soldiers are able to communicate with their friends and family back home by way of email, online chat, and quicker postal service. Thirdly, today's American soldiers are provided with far better and more extensive military training than the soldiers in "All Quiet on the Western Front" are, hence they would be more prepared for the combat experiences they must endure.

Answer:
Yes, agreed. However, it's necessary to go beyond the engraving to understand what really happened.
Explanation:
An engraving, like any other art piece, gives us a point of view. So, in order to use art as a historical source, we have to support our answer and explanation with readings and writings of the period. As we know, the Mayflower Compact is a document where the Pilgrims addressed it with just and egalitarian laws for the general good of colonization and according to the will of the majority. Mayflower passengers knew that previous New World settlers had failed due to the lack of a government system. They discussed its content and then drafted the Pact for the sake of their own survival. So, after reading the document, and the point of view of other historians, we can support our answer carefully and use the engraving.
