Henry goes away to avoid meeting with the injured soldiers again. He is jelous of the injured soldiers because they have a wound to prove that they had stayed and fought for their army, he called their wounds the red badge of courage. Henry sees a man and realizes that it is Jim, Jim tells Henry that he has been shot. Henry tries to get Jim away but Jim runs and then just drops dead.
Henry saw the casualties and effects war has when he seen Jim die. Henry got angry after Jim died, he has seen many dead people before but it didn't affect him as much as seeing a friend die. Now Henry wants to get a red badge of courage, because he thinks that he will get more respect if he gets wounded. This sounds like he is going to purposely get hurt later in the book.
What was the reason why Jim ran when Henry was trying to help him, was it because Jim thought he was running away from battle like Henry has?
