Chapter 17

In this chapter Henry fights like a lunatic. The others are starting to think of him as the war devil. He is going crazy with the fighting. The general said if he could find 10,000 men that fight like Henry just did they would win the battle in a week. The lieutenant said they were probably the best rigment ever. One of the comrads started laughing at Henry because he was the only one firing... he was shooting at nothing. The enemy had left. Henry didn't know where this "hero" had come from. It was as if he had fallen asleep and woke up as this great fighter.

I think Henry will keep fighting. All he needed was some experience. He shouldn't be scared anymore. I hope he continues to help his rigment win the battles.

Question: Henry says he didn't know where the bravery came from, but I wonder, what changed his feeling about the battles? He had to do some kind of thinking about it to come up with the courage... right?
