Chapter 15

Abstract:In this chapter, Henry remembers the yellow envelop that Wilson wanted him to deliver to his family when he died. Henry was going to ask him but decided against it so Wilson wouldn't ask him about the previous day. He thinks that the envelop will help him against being caught. He isn't worried about future battles, thinking of himself as being unable to be killed. He thinks that the people that ran yesterday are not as good as him because he ran away with dignity and they fled wildly. Wilson then asked for his envelop back. Henry gave it back to him and Wilson was embarrassed. Henry feels bad for him and feels greatly superior to him. He just thinks about telling his mom and a girl from his hometown stories of the war.
Response: Henry is getting really arrogant and cocky for fighting in one battle. He thinks he is better than his friend Wilson. Henry is not a very honorable person. He needs to get his ego knocked down a little bit. He thinks that when he ran from battle that he ran with dignity and the others ran wildly. There is no such thing as running from dignity. He shouldn't be putting all the others down when he did the same thing as them.
Question: Why was Wilson embarrassed when he got the letter back?
