henry henry running from the battle.

Well, he is terrified. Henry's first real battle is chaotic and violent. Henry feels alone in the smoke and haze of the battle. Although he tries to stay, he sees other comrades turn and run, "A man near him who up to this time had been working feverishly at his rifle, suddenly dropped it and ran with howls." Henry , like many others, was a green soldier. Despite the talk of bravado, he was not emotionally or physically ready for this kind of battle.
