Chapter 17

After Henry's regiment waited for the battle to begin, they start fighting and Henry didn't run away this time. After the battle ends he hears an ally laughing, then he realizes that the battle was over and he was shooting at nothing. The soldiers talk about how many soldiers the enemy has lost and how good of a job they have done.

Henry stepped up in this chapter and proved to himself and the other soldiers that he wasn't going to run, and he stayed and fought. He hasn't gotten much respect from the other soldiers but I think that will change now because he showed himself in battle. He seemed to be in the red rage, because when the battle was over he was still shooting and wasn't stopping for a while.

What made Henry stay this time and not run like before?
