Thesis:
Henry showed courage in staying to fight, over coming his fear of dieing and by caring the flag at he end.


• “At times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. He conceived persons with torn bodies to be peculiarly happy. He wished that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage”. This states that instead of him wishing that he was at home he know wishes that he would get shot and so that they would think that he had courage.

• “There was a consciousness always of the presence of his
comrades about him. He felt the subtle battle brotherhood more potent even than the cause for which they were fighting. It was a mysterious fraternity born of the smoke and danger of death.” He wasn’t fighting because he was brave but because everyone else was fighting. He was shooting to shoot like playing a game. He did not know why he was shooting he was just shooting because he was one of the guys, one of the regiment.

• “He now thought that he wished he was dead. He
Believed he envied those men whose bodies lay strewn over the grass of the fields and on the fallen leaves of the forest.” He states that he would rather be died then has to stay and fight in this war. If he died he would know what happened to him, if was the fear of the unknown, the fear of not knowing what was going to happen in battle that made him afraid. Being dead was a sure thing; there would be no unknown.
