The Red Badge of Courage 2-3
Comments: 0
As I said in the last entry, Henry is running towards the sound of the battle. When he comes to where he can overlook the field, he sees a bunch of injured soldiers. Many of the soldiers are making fun of the injured ones, especially the ones they don't care for. Anyway, Henry runs down and joins a bunch of soldiers standing around. One of the generals was shot and he recalled what his wife had told him about being carefull. Another of the officers had been shot in the leg. He was being carried by one of the soldiers who obviously wasn't being carefull enough for the officer with the officer's leg. The officer told him his leg wasn't made of iron and if he couldn't carry him, then he was to find someone else. Anyways, none of the soldiers seem to relize that Henry ran away from the fight because they keep asking him questions about the battle. One of the soldiers told him that it was good fightin'. Then at the end of the chapter one of the injured soldiers asked Henry where he had been hit. Henry can't reply because he keeps studdering because he ran away from that battle where everyone was injured-----that didn't run anyway, however. Well, Hopefully that all makes sense, but it does to me. I think Henry is in a tough situation, but I think he will be okay.
