1. Henry and Wilson both act modestly to the story of the colonel and lieutenant talking about them. What does this tell you about their change in attitude?
2. In the final chapter, why is Henry still haunted by his early actions? How does he overcome this feeling?
3. At the end of the battle in Chapter 20, the narrator concludes that the soldiers "were men." He concludes the same for Henry in the last chapter. However, his description of Henry as "the youth" never changes. Why do you think this is?
4. In the final two paragraphs of the story, it rains and then turns to sunshine. The weather is used here as a symbol -- an object, place, or concept (in this case the weather) used in literature to represent something more important. What do you think the weather is a symbol of?
