Chapter 5

This is the chapter where the fighting really begins. It starts out with the enemy charging towards Henry and his regiment. Henry does not run as he thought he would, instead he gets a great sense of belonging and he gets a sense of anger. He says he felt the battle brotherhood. Many men are dying to his left and right and everywhere including the commander. He shows the courage to keep fighting. I think that you see that Henry is not the coward that he is depicted to be in the first couple chapters where he says he will run in the heat of battle. Who will take over of the regiment since the commander died? Will Henry play a bigger role?
