This chapter starts out with Henry thinking that because he had thinking time yesterday, the battle should stop and let him. Henry tells Wilson that he probably can't stand too much of the rebel army, and Wilson just calmly replies. The young soldier thinks that his army should have more power than they actually do so they can prove themselves.Once the battle actually begins, Henry seems to lose it. He wants to injure them all and just straight up attack them. He loses all sense of direction and fights hard and quick, withstanding things he normally wouldn't. When the rebel army fled, Henry didn't notice that they were gone and the rest of his regiment just watched him with some awe. He lays on the ground in a sort of trance and the lieutenant complimented Henry on being an amazing fighter. Everyone is shocked sort of and Wilson asks Henry if he is alright. The lieutenant is having kittens about Henry being such a good fighter and everyone is happy.
Response- Who knew Henry had it in him? I did NOT understand the saying about beating dogs, women, and walnut trees though.
Theme-
*Manhood~ I'm pretty sure Henry has achieved a small part of manhood by fighting like he did.
Question- Now that Henry fought amazingly once, is he going run away ever?
