Chapter 14

Abstract: Henry woke up and it was dawn. He said it felt like he was sleeping for a thousand years. He can hear fighting in the distance. Henry looks around him and thinks he is surrounded by dead people when it is actually just the other people in the camp. Wilson asks Henry how his head is doing. Henry says that it still hurts. Henry notices that Wilson is now sensitive and not loud anymore. They talk about the battle and Henry says that Jim is dead. Wilson then had to break up a fight. He came back to Henry nad said that the army lost more than half of the soldiers the day before. Wilson said they went into to the woods, but are starting to return, just like Henry.
Response: I bet Henry felt pretty bad when Wilson said that all the soldiers left and went in the woods, just like Henry. Henry knows he made a mistake by running and he will be more couragous from now on. If half of the army flees when they see battle, they have no chance of winning the war. I thought all the soldiers were excited to fight in the beginning of the story. Why are so many people running then?
Question: What made Wilson change from a loud person to a sensative person?
