Read the excerpt from The Red Badge of Courage. In this excerpt, Henry and Wilson are discussing their impending march into battle.The youth watched him for a moment in silence. When he finally spoke his voice was bitter as dregs. "Oh, you’re going to do great things, I s’pose!”The loud soldier blew a thoughtful cloud of smoke from his pipe. "Oh, I don’t know,” he remarked with dignity; "I don’t know. I s’pose I’ll do as well as the rest. I’m going to try like thunder.” He evidently complimented himself upon the modesty of this statement."How do you know you won’t run when the time comes?” asked the youth."Run?” said the loud one; "run?—of course not!” He laughed."Well,” continued the youth, "lots of good-a-’nough men have thought they was going to do great things before the fight, but when the time come they skedaddled.”"Oh, that’s all true, I s’pose,” replied the other; "but I’m not going to skedaddle. The man that bets on my running will lose his money, that’s all.” He nodded confidently."Oh, shucks!” said the youth. "You ain’t the bravest man in the world, are you?”"No, I ain’t,” exclaimed the loud soldier indignantly; "and I didn’t say I was the bravest man in the world, neither. I said I was going to do my share of fighting—that’s what I said. And I am, too. Who are you, anyhow? You talk as if you thought you was Napoleon Bonaparte.” He glared at the youth for a moment, and then strode away.
