Read the excerpt from The Red Badge of Courage. In this excerpt, a soldier, the tattered man, has been telling Henry Fleming about watching a man die. He warns Henry that he should look out for himself.The youth had been wriggling since the introduction of this topic. He now gave a cry of exasperation and made a furious motion with his hand. "Oh, don’t bother me!” he said. He was enraged against the tattered man, and could have strangled him. His companions seemed ever to play intolerable parts. They were ever upraising the ghost of shame on the stick of their curiosity. He turned toward the tattered man as one at bay. "Now, don’t bother me,” he repeated with desperate menace. "Well, Lord knows I don’t wanta bother anybody,” said the other. There was a little accent of despair in his voice as he replied, "Lord knows I’ve gota ’nough m’ own t’ tend to.” The youth, who had been holding a bitter debate with himself and casting glances of hatred and contempt at the tattered man, here spoke in a hard voice. "Good-by,” he said. The tattered man looked at him in gaping amazement. "Why—why, pardner, where yeh goin’?” he asked unsteadily. The youth looking at him, could see that he, too, like that other one, was beginning to act dumb and animal-like. His thoughts seemed to be floundering about in his head. "Now—now—look—a—here, you Tom Jamison—now—I won’t have this—this here won’t do. Where—where yeh goin’?”The youth pointed vaguely. "Over there,” he replied.
