Thesis:
Henry showed courage in staying to fight, over coming his fear of dieing and by caring the flag at he end.


• “At times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. He conceived persons with torn bodies to be peculiarly happy. He wished that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage”. This states that instead of him wishing that he was at home he know wishes that he would get shot and so that they would think that he had courage.

• “There was a consciousness always of the presence of his
comrades about him. He felt the subtle battle brotherhood more potent even than the cause for which they were fighting. It was a mysterious fraternity born of the smoke and danger of death.” He wasn’t fighting because he was brave but because everyone else was fighting. He was shooting to shoot like playing a game. He did not know why he was shooting he was just shooting because he was one of the guys, one of the regiment.

• “He now thought that he wished he was dead. He
Believed he envied those men whose bodies lay strewn over the grass of the fields and on the fallen leaves of the forest.” He states that he would rather be died then has to stay and fight in this war. If he died he would know what happened to him, if was the fear of the unknown, the fear of not knowing what was going to happen in battle that made him afraid. Being dead was a sure thing; there would be no unknown.

Henry thinks that because he has this yellow paper that he will not be killed in the battle and that he dosen't have to think about get chot either. As Wilson and Henry lay there and talk Wilson ended up asking for the yellow paper back and that made him fell weird but he did it.

Then Jim ended up giving Henry a yellow envelope and said to take it home to his mom or family because Jim didn't think that he would make it throw.

chapter 2

They found out that the rumor was a mistake and they ended up not moving. Henry sits worrying about if they are going to have to go off to war or if they are not going to do. The Seargent tells the men that they have to stat marching and all the men start to think it time its time to battle. the night came and it time to set up camp. when the men get that done they lay and think to them self are we ready for this or should we get up and run.

This is going to be bad cause most of theses men don't know what they are doing and are scared and who knows how this could turn out thats what I think.

How come he wonted the cigars?

Characters

Henry-the main character he is going off to war.
Jim- one of Henry's friends who is going off to war too.

chapter1

Henry a young man enlists in the war so he can be a hero. His mother does not want him to go because she is afraid that he will not come back. Then he goes off towar, waiting to fight but is nervous about fighting beacuse he has never done this before. The soldiers are living on a river bank a man is washing a shirt and overhead a rumor and runs to report it. They get ready to go to battle. Henry one of Jim's friend goes back and lays down on his cough to think about how he may go in to the battle. He thinks about what his mother says that she is scared and doesn't really wont him to go, but she tells him that he can go and that know matter what happen if he dies or lives that she will be able to take care of her self. Henry lays there and thinks about if he should run or if he should stay. They here there is a rumor saying that there regiment will be the next to fight.

I think that Henry should do what he wants and they he shouldn't do what his mom thinks is the best for him. He should not run he should stick with it and fight. I think they will go into battle soon and he will have to decide whether to run or stay and fight.

Why does Henry want to run?
