Chapter 7

Abstract: In this chapter, Henry is having a hard time dealing with the battle that just happened. He is mad at those who stayed and didn't run with him. He thinks they are stupid for not running. He believes they should run with him. Henry thought that they were would have done the right thing by running so they can live and still help the army. Henry then goes into a forest grove and sees a dead body with the same uniform on that he does. He sees bugs crawling on his face. Henry takes off running expecting the dead soldier to call out to him.
Response: Henry talks about how he thinks that the soldiers who didn't run are stupid and should have run. I believe Henry is actually feeling guilty about running from battle and is trying to comfort himself by giving reason why he thinks he did the right thing. He knows that he should have stayed to fight. Henry then goes into a grove and sees a dead body. He looks at it in terror and runs. I thought this symbolized that Henry is running away from death. He is trying his hardest not to think about it but he can't help to think about death.
Question: Why is Henry roaming around by himself? I would think that in war that would be dangerous.
