Main+Character

Hey Reagan & Charlie,

This is Ethan again, from 5th period. The main character from __The Red Badge of Courage__ is the "Youth". The Youth is a nameless character who enrolled in the army fairly young, as described by his "name". So far, I have seen him as an ambitious young soldier who wants to beat the Confederacy. Not much else has been said about the main character.

Until next time, Ethan

Hey Eathan & Reagen,

This is Charlie and i think that they way they represent the main character as youth is a very confusing thing to do but i think im starting to figure it out.

See you all in a bit. :P

Hey Charlie and Ethan, Reagan again. I was looking in our book to find a name for "The Youth". In the first chapter when he is looking back at his enlistment, during the conversation with his mother, she calls him Henry. Is that a different character or the same one?

Later! (P.S., you spell our names differently every post :) )

Charlie and Ethan, Reagan here. I was right about "The Youth's" name. He is Henry we all found out a couple chapters ago. We also know that "The Tall Soldier's" name is Jim. (Doesn't really matter because he's gone now!) Henry quickly learns that war is a horrible thing. He retreated from the new battle that took place right after the first one. Then,he found Jim among the wounded and watched his death. He was freaked out by the dead man by the tree and it changed his attitude completely. He is fishing that he was killed so he wouldn't have to stay in the war. Lastly, he almost did die from getting club with a rifle butt by a fellow soldier. Now that's gotta hurt!

Until we meet again, Reagan
