Chapter 3

The chapter starts with the whole regiment getting up and running down a dirt road. They ran for a long time before Henry started to hear some musket shots. Henry wanted to get out of the regiment but couldn't because he was boxed in. They chased the enemy through the woods and Henry saw an old house and knew that the enemy was ready for them just on the other side. Henry's sense of self preservation kicked in and he started to walk slower, but a young lieutenant told him to hurry up. They stopped just outside of the house and many of the soldiers started making walls out of stones and dirt to stop any bullets that might be heading their way. Unfortunately they kept on moving throughout the forest so they had to make new walls at each spot. The soldiers start to get antsy and don't want to walk around anymore. As the chapter ends the loud soldier tells Henry that this is his first and last battle. He looks really pale. What happened to the loud soldier?
