This chapter starts out as everyone is pointing their guns towards the enemy, but they cannot see past the smokey haze so they dont know what to shoot at. They are talking about Carrot. Carrot went to the hospital because he said he was sick. They are also talking about Bill. Three of his fingers were crushed so he went to the hospital too. When the doctor started talking about amputating them, Bill started all kinds of trouble. He didnt like that idea very well. All of a sudden, they saw the other flag start moving around. Bullets started flying through the air, knocking leaves and branches to the ground. Many of the soldiers had to duck and dodge the falling branches. Henry started thinking about how fast he would run to get out of there. He thought he would be the fastest of them all, but his legs were too weak and shakey to gain control.
I think Henry knows what he is getting into now. He wanted to enlist in the army because he thought that was God's plan but now he is realizing how scary the battlefield is.
Question: What is the monster Henry talks about? He says if he would see it then he could run faster. What is he talking about?
