Chapter 2
Everyone is starting to doubt the rumors about going to battle until colonels arrived by horse. While everybody is talking to the newly arrived soldiers and dancing about, Henry, a.k.a. "the youth," goes and lays down on the grass and stares up at the moon. He starts wondering why he came to enlist in the first pace. He starts getting a little homesick and wants to leave but then the tall soldier comes to talk to him. They start talking about battle and if they would run or not. Henry then upsets the tall soldier and he gets up and leaves.
this chapter is very detailed. The author wants you to see the things exactly like Henry did.
