Chapter 19 - Red Badge of Courage
As they are walking to battle Henry takes notice to the nature around him. He then turns into a super war freak. He kills a lot of men. He sees the flag man go down and he quickly grabs the flag. He starts running at the Confederates. Wilson covers behind him. It's just those two fighting and Henry is unarmed.

After the battle, Henry and Wilson go looking in the woods. They come across the generals talking and hide so they can listen. He hears the generals talking about the worst regimen. They say that it's the 304th regimen and that they are sending them to the front line. That is Henry and Wilson's group and they are offended. They go back to their men and warn them that they are going to the front line. They're scared that they are going to die.

Chapter 17 - Red Badge of Courage
This chapter is where Henry really changes. Henry is waiting for battle and as it arrives he just goes off. He shoots until he can't shoot anymore. He runs at the Confederates like a crazy person and they run away. Even though they have gone he continues to fight. The soldiers laugh at him so he stops. All the men think he's a great fighter but Henry doesn't know what to think. He feels weird about it because he feels like that really wasn't him fighting because he doesn't know what came over him.
