Chapter 3

in the third chapter the regiment basically takes off at a sprint to the battle grounds but they don't really know where they are going. they get to a place they keep trying to think what is going to happen and Henry starts basically freaking out. he says how he thinks that the commanders are getting them into an ambush and that they are all gonna get slaughtered like pigs and he wants to just yell at everyone and tell them that they are in trouble and gonna die. But he holds his toungue. He also sees a dead man. he thinks about this dead man in regards to himself and how he is young just like him and wonders how the afterlife is. he tries to see the afterlife in his eyes that are gazed toward the sky. he also wonders if the price of being brave and possibly dying is worth the fight. it also talks about how all the men had different fighting styles and that some wanted to just stand there and fight but some wanted to hide. when he gets to the battlefield he expects to see this big grand battle but instead he just sees a bunch of small scirmashaes. he is somewhat disapointed by this. i wonder if he will fight or flight?
