Abstract: In this chapter, Henry is worried that they are going to get sneak attacked so he is very cautious and looks around at everything. They didn't see anything. The next morning, Henry's gets woken up and hears the firing of guns. The regiment begins to charge. Henry was still very unsure if he should really be in the war. He had no choice because he was surrounded by other soldiers. Henry passes a dead body and worries that that could be him. After the battle, the soldiers began marching again and for a long time. The soldiers were getting mad because they wanted to fight instead of walk everywhere. Wilson then approaches Henry and gives him a letter to give to his family because he thinks he is going to die.
Response: Henry experienced his first battle in this chapter. His thoughts going into this battle were not what they should have been. He was just thinking of a way to get away. He then came to the conclusion that he couldn't escape the battle. He needs to be thinking of the war instead of how he can get away from it. He shouldn't have gone to the war in the first place. He can't handle being in war. He also went by a dead body and stopped. He was very vulnerable at this time and he needs to focus. He put other lives in danger by not paying attention.
Why was Wilson so sure that he was going to die?
