Sample text
Then another young man, who had struck the youth as especially brave, also threw down his gun. Watching them, the young soldier yelled and headed for the rear. He ran wildly, without looking, bumping into trees, sometimes falling down. He thought that the whole regiment was fleeing, and he raced ahead in order to keep as far ahead of the enemy as possible. Eventually the youth came to a battery; the gunners continued to shoot them as if they didn’t realize that the army was in retreat. They seemed to him to be fools.
And have you ever worried that you might not have what it takes to be truly brave? Then meet Henry Fleming, a farm boy from upstate New York in the 1860s. Henry wants to be a hero and he isn’t sure he’s got the guts. To find out, he enlists in the Union army during the American Civil War. The Red Badge of Courage is his story. As you read the book, you will find yourself asking, along with Henry, what courage means, who has it, and how you get it. The Red Badge of Courage opens like a movie: the camera pans to take in the whole scene.
But Henry Fleming is the only character we know from the inside. We know what he is thinking and feeling at every minute- even the weather changes with his moods! But we never find out what is going on in the minds of Jim Conklin or Lieutenant Hasbrouck or Wilson. Some readers have said that these other characters become almost extensions of Henry’s personality. They are in the novel to provide comparisons and contrasts with Henry, but unlike him, they are not real people. The narrator rarely says anything in his own voice.
