Chapter six opens up with Henry waking up. Everyone around him is bragging and talking about how they held off the other army and how hot it is. They don't want another battle any time soon because of the heat, they want to soak up the sun. But before they can talk anymore, there comes a shout. They're charging again. Henry begins to lift his rifle, and just as he is about to shoot, he notices through the smoke that there are men fleeing left and right. Henry threw down his gun and he too, ran. All of Henry's disbelief and fears are back. He fears that they are coming after him and him alone. When Henry is running, he trips a couple times and hits his shoulder on a tree and falls. He feels its better to be hurt this way that to be killed during battle. As he continues to run, Henry sees a general on his horse. Henry feels as if he should
approach the general and tell him what he is doing is unjust. A messenger comes to the general and tells him that they have, again, held them.
Question:
- Now that Henry knows they have held him, will he go back? Or just continue running?
