Chapter 20:

While Henry and Wilson are still carrying the flag, they begin to fight over who will be the only flag carrier. Henry ends up pushing Wilson away which makes him the only one carrying the flag. The soldiers all end up getting pushed further and further back into the trees because so many soldiers are dying and they aren't fighting well enough to keep up with the rebels. Henry hates this because he wants a victory because someone had said that they were worthless and couldn't fight very well. Wilson begins telling Henry goodbye because he didn't think that they wouldn't make. Henry is angry because of this and tells him to stop talking like and that they will make it. When the battle is over and the air cleared, they had noticed that they defeated their enemy.
In this chapter I think that Henry seems to become a sort of leader. He seems to tell everyone when they think that they are going to be defeated and that they are done for he encourages them to keep going and that they will make it through.
Question: Henry seems to be a changed man than what he was before. Henry seems to have a lot more confidence, what made him to be so afraid before and now standing for it?
