Chapter 8

Abstract: In this chapter, Henry hears the sounds of battle and goes to check things out. When he goes to get a closer look at things, he sees wounded soldiers walking along the road. He joins them and a man with a bloody head and dangling arm began to talk to him. Henry wanted to get away from him, but he couldn't. The soldier kept talking about courage of the army and the pride of not running. He then asked Henry what was injured on him and Henry ran.
Response: This chapter was very interesting because the chapter is about what Henry has been thinking about. Henry has wanted to run for a very long time but then a injured soldier talked about how proud he was of the soldiers that stayed to fight instead of run. I think this conversation will have a great effect on Henry and he will now be more couragous.
Question: Henry has wanted to get away from battle for a long time. Why did he go towards the battle to get a better look?
