Chapter 7

Henry is almost sick because his regiment held. He almost wishes they would have broken so that he wouldn't be jeered at when he got back to camp. He then walks through a forest and comes to a swamp where he sees and animal catch a fish. He comes to a clearing and sees a dead soldier. The dead guy scared him and he screamed. The soldier had been there a long time and there were many ants crawling on him. Henry doesn't just turn and run away because he thinks that the soldier could get up and run after him. So he takes his time and walks around him very slowly being careful not to touch him. Why is he so afraid of the dead soldier?
