They are all just hanging out at a camp site and relaxing when a young soldier comes and tells them that they will be moving soon and that there will be fighting taking place before too long. They had a hard time believing him because they have heard this same rumor many of times and nothing ever happens. Henry was talking to Jim and Jim told him to wait until tomorrow when they started to fight, that he would really see what it was all about. Henry seemed to get worried on what he would do, whether he would run of stand his ground and fight.
In this chapter is I see youth and maturity because Henry was called to the army and had to mature to become fit or to have to right mind set to go off to war. He stayed home and helped his mom when he was younger and now it seemed to be his call of duty which he had to respond to.
Question: When Henry has the conversation with his mother, is he thinking back on it as he remembered it? I thought that he was already gone from home.
