Red Badge Of Courage

Signifficance-
This book is important because it shows even the smallest bit of bravery or courage can get you very far. Henry's reason for going into war was for honor, but when he ran away that showed himself he was doing the oppiset of what he really wanted to do. This book is valuable because it really makes you under stand a whole different side in life , for example sometimes we think life is a breeze but when you think really deep you'll notice its wrong for something we do.

Perspective-
The author of this book i thought was a great writer he really showed me hwo life works how people in civil times are treated how the act how the talk and even how the fight or get ready for battle. I thought this authors style was really effective he made something simple into a big deal

Evidence-
In this book you can already tell that henry's point of veiw in life is simple he needs bravery, It seems henry is a really simple boy but you can tell inside of him he is a very mixed man inside of him you see a person who is lacking bravery is alot of mouth but he is already to learn and help people anyway he can (thats easy, or wont cost him anything)

Connection-
I think this Henry relates to me because he said he wanted a red badge of courage but ended up running away, And somtimes for example when i first started learning how to skate i already asumed that droping in a half pipe would be really easy but as i got closer i staretd to have some second thoughts.

Suposition-
something that could of changed was Henrys fear if he didnt run away he could of been a hero auto matically and this story wouldnt really happen, Another thing that could of changed was his way of talking he just made himself much more afiaird when he started talking to people if he didnt do this he would of been ready for battle.
