chapter 15

Wilson ends up geting shot and so then Henry is in charge of geting that yellow peace of paper to is family and to make sure that they get it if Wilson doesn't make it. Henry thinks that because he has this yellow paper that he will not be killed in the battle and that he dosen't have to think about get chot either. As Wilson and Henry lay there and talk Wilson ended up asking for the yellow paper back and that made him fell weird but he did it.

I think that just because Henry had that paper dosen't mean anything he will still end up geting shot that wont save him.


Whats in that paper?

chapter 14

Henry gets up the next morning and when he gets up Wilson and is fixing his head. He ask Henry how is head fells today and Henry's says not that bad at all.

As Henry lays there and think, he thinks that there are over a thousand died people around him.Then come to find out that Jim was shot in the side and ends up dieing.

He starts to walk towards the fire when someone yell stop. Henry looked up and saw Wilson. Wilson then at that point they sat done and started to talk. Henry than sat there and listen to him talk and then he fell asleep.

I think that Henry should have to get back out on that battle filed and fight.

Henry is in the forest still looking out at the battle field. As he stands there and he sees that the blue line has spotted them they are charging at him. Henry strands there and ask the men what went wrong at that point someone comes up and hits him in the head with the butt of the rifle he lays there and some stranger comes us and helped Henry to the mans campfire to help Henry out.

Henry is still walking throw the woods, but is starting to move closer, so that he can see who is wining the battle as he gets closer the sound gets louder and louder. Henry wonts to go back in to the battle but doesn't have a gun and is hungry and thirsty. He now fills bad that he didn't sick with it and that he has nothing to go back in to the battle with. He really hopes that the blue team wins and that when he gets back to camp that they will not be made that he wasn't there to help them out.

When he gets out to a road he sees that there are some soldiers that are walking in a group. He comes up to a man and they start to talk about the courage you should have in yourself.

Henry is up set that he ran and left the other one behind and they had to fight with out him. He gets pretty far from the battle, he is running throw the forest. As he runs farther and farther he comes up to a dead solider who is wearing the same color outfit that he is and there are bugs all over this solider. Come to find out that it is the corporal and Henry starts to run from him and hopes he crys out to him.

I don't like that fact that Henry ran and left all his friends behind.

How come he doesn't help the corporal?

Henry runs from the field stating that the enemys will charge from the forest at them and that they need to take cover.

As he stands they and let all this ove pass him. Then all of a souden he startes to fire and reload again and again. Some one gets beat on the Front line. There Capton gets shot and they reteart.

chapter 3

The soldiers had to march throw the forest which was kinda dark. Henry states that he is scared and thinks that at anytime somethings will jump out at him something like and enemy. They get back to the camp and get ready for bed and lay down when its time to get up they are awaken by the sound of a gun shot. When the men her that they begun to run and were scared as they ran they ended up running in to some of the other soldiers that were guarding things. T hen Henry thinks to him self on how all theses people here are just leading him to death and that he kinda doesn't wont to be her. well they ended up going and building trenches and to do that they used branches and stones. Then Jim ended up giving Henry a yellow envelope and said to take it home to his mom or family because Jim didn't think that he would make it throw.

I think that if those boys can't handle a gun shot then how are they going to handle war.

Whats in the Yellow Envelope?

chapter 2

They found out that the rumor was a mistake and they ended up not moving. Henry sits worrying about if they are going to have to go off to war or if they are not going to do. The Seargent tells the men that they have to stat marching and all the men start to think it time its time to battle. the night came and it time to set up camp. when the men get that done they lay and think to them self are we ready for this or should we get up and run.

This is going to be bad cause most of theses men don't know what they are doing and are scared and who knows how this could turn out thats what I think.

How come he wonted the cigars?

Characters

Henry-the main character he is going off to war.
Jim- one of Henry's friends who is going off to war too.
Mom- Henry's mom who is scared and doesn't want him to go.

chapter1

Henry a young man enlists in the war so he can be a hero. His mother does not want him to go because she is afraid that he will not come back. Then he goes off towar, waiting to fight but is nervous about fighting beacuse he has never done this before. The soldiers are living on a river bank a man is washing a shirt and overhead a rumor and runs to report it. They get ready to go to battle. Henry one of Jim's friend goes back and lays down on his cough to think about how he may go in to the battle. He thinks about what his mother says that she is scared and doesn't really wont him to go, but she tells him that he can go and that know matter what happen if he dies or lives that she will be able to take care of her self. Henry lays there and thinks about if he should run or if he should stay. They here there is a rumor saying that there regiment will be the next to fight.

I think that Henry should do what he wants and they he shouldn't do what his mom thinks is the best for him. He should not run he should stick with it and fight. I think they will go into battle soon and he will have to decide whether to run or stay and fight.

Why does Henry want to run?
