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?
