Chapter 12

Abstract: In the beginning of this chapter, Henry sees that battlefield and sees the blue army getting overwhelmed by the enemy. They begin to charge and Henry panics. He sees a soldier retreating and asked him what was happening. The soldier told him to let go but when Henry didn't, he hit him in the face with a rifle. Henry falls to the ground. He meets a cheerful stranger who tells him where to go to get back to his camp. The stanger points at the campfire and disappears into the forest. Henry then realizes he never saw the man's face.
Response: I wonder who that man was. That really surprises me that he never saw the man's face. I would think that if he was talking to him that he would have seen his face. Was the man he was talking to an actual person? The other man hit him in the face when he asked him where to go. This "man" calmly pointed him in the right direction and told him everything that just happened. I would think that he would be a little shaken if he was just in battle.
Question: Was the man Henry was talking to a person?
