Characters

Henry Fleming: He wanted to in roll in the army but his mother said no, he didn't care and went about what he was doing and enlisted him self.

Jim Conklin: In the army and tells them they ought to move in and come up behind their enemies.

Wilson: I would say Wilson and Henry are pretty close. For example when Wilson handed over the yellow envelope to take to his family in case he didn't make it he gave it to Henry. Wilson is also known as the loud soldier. He is kinda stubborn.

Tattered soldier:The tattered man represents Henry's scared mentality of the battle, and makes he is the one who makes Henry feel guilty that he keeps running from the battles. He is important because he is showing Henry the affects of the war, and how it affects a person who stays to fight. I also believe that the tattered man shows how much of a coward Henry is for not being in the battle's and always running.

Lieutenant: The lieutenant is Henry's commander/captain. He instructs the regiment throughout the battles. Then in Chapter 5 he gets shot and he dies. Henry had a great relationship with his captain, they gained respect for each other.

Henry's Mother: She's unsure about Henry going to the war in fact she doesn't want him to go at all because she believes its not safe. She knited him 8 pairs of socks and packed his favorite shirts so he would feel as though he was at home.
