Chapter 8

Henry is stomping through the forest and hears the rumble of the battle. He follows the sound to try and get a better look at whats going on, but he comes across a stumbling man. This man is bleeding from the head and maybe a broken arm. Henry tries to avoid the injured man, but the man keeps talking to Henry about how brave he is because he never ran away. When the man asks Henry were he was injured, Henry walks away quickly to avoid answering the question.

Henry needs to decide to be in the battle or out. He cant keep running back and forth. People are talking about bravery, but Henry cant apply to that because he ran away and wont flat out tell people he is a chicken.

Question: Why is Henry running away from everything? First the battle and now running away from people to avoid a conversation?
