RBC: Chapter Seventeen.
With this battle that has been brought on again Henry begins to back up in my mind. His thoughts turn to him deciding he deserved rest. He questions if he should have to fight because he has done SO much. He began to find jealousy in him. He hated the other soldiers that they had not grown tired or weary during this war. They had not run and he had yet he is worn out. Or is he just making excuses? He is nervous for the enemies arrival. The only thing he could think of was how the others had the feeling of victory he longed for and he felt nothing, but hatred towards them and worthlessness. (Or he should feel worthless in my mind). Henry decided that he was determined to win this battle. He wanted that victory as usual, but this time he was going after it. He was intent on the fighting and just kept going reloading and shooting his gun. He was so into it that when the battle was over he hadn't even noticed. He was still going. The other soldiers around him asked if he was okay and he realized it was over. When the lieutenant came over he complimented Henry's fighting. This probably just made Henry more egotistical. He saw himself as hero now. Maybe this was just Henry learning from his past or at least I hope it was. This action may make me actually like Henry instead of think he is just a coward even if he still does it for the wrong reasons.
