Chapter 6

After the enemy backs away Henry falls alseep. A short while later he wakes up, along with all the others, and they start praising the fact that they had held the enemy back. Henry thought he had gotten through the worst of the battle. He thought he had proven his courage but no more than two minutes go by and Henry hears the enemy is coming back. Scared, Henry runs away. While running Henry blazes past the general, but to Henry's surprise, the general said the enemy had been held.

I dont think Henry was expecting the battle to be like this. He wasnt ready for it. He's probably thinking about his mother. She said he would be better off at home, but he had to enlist in the army.

Question: Why did Henry run? He was scared, but why? They had already held the enemy once before why doesnt he think they can do it again?
