QUOTATIONS FOR MY ESSAY “They were sending me off to fight a war they didn't understand, and didn't want to understand” Pg. 45 “He enjoyed not being dead. Lying there, kiowa admired lieutenant Jimmy Cross's capacity for grief. He wanted to share the man's pain, he wanted to care as Jimmy Cross cared. And yet when he closed his eyes, all he could think was Boom-down, and all he could feel was the pleasure of having his boots off and the fog curling in around him and the damp soil and the Bible smells and the plush comfort of night” Pg 18.
Yet by the end of the novel, he matures and decides to redefine what he believes courage is because of the traumatic and courage-demanding scenes that tell the story in the Red Badge of Courage. Henry really shows off his immaturity when the story reads, “...at times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. He conceived persons with torn bodies to be particularly happy. He wishes that he, too had a wound, a red badge of courage.” (100) This shows how simple-mindedly Henry perceives the war and that he is still caught up in his goal of becoming wounded or worse so that he can call himself “courageous”. This evidence also displays that he is fearful about actually going out onto the battlefield, and that he is striving to just gain respect from the other soldiers.

Eventually, he regresses back to childhood and crawls to Stephen, asking him to “hold me” and to “call me by my name”.
Steinbeck uses the technique of an asyndeton sentence structure. “Feverishly he followed in periodicals the Dadist movements and schism, the strangely feminine jealousies and religiousness, the obscurantism of the forming and breaking schools.” (Steinbeck 5). Steinbeck uses an asyndeton sentence structure to be able to put more information about Henri. This makes the reader feel as if they know Henri a little more since they just learned that he was a very busy man since he was involved with many things. He also uses the technique of a polysyndeton style sentence.
