Quiz 1

1.Henry's comment was that he envied the people with a red badge of courage. He was talking about he wounded. A wound to him would prove his valor and strength. He wishes that he could be like the wounded and have a red badge of courage.

2.The tattered man symbolizes a real solider someone who has courage and strength. He is the opposite of Henry who is a coward and is weak. Having the tattered man in the book helps you see who Henry really is.

3.Henry sometimes talks about his mother. Before he left she told him not to do anything that he wouldn't tell her. I think she told him to run too. Her role would be the person that Henry is trying to get back to. The reason why he can't die.

4. I don't remember how he used the squrriel to justify his actions but I'm going to try. When Henry threw the pine cone at the squrriel it ran away, much like he would in the face of danger. And if it is an animals first instinct to run away that since he is an animal too it kinda justifies his actions.
