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.
