    The Internal Battle for Victory The Red Badge of Courage, a civil war narrative which portrays the struggle of a young soldier in battle, was written by Stephen Crane, an author who had no real-life war experience.

He is commended for his deft use of figurative language and symbolism to depict the morbid reality of war. In The Red Badge of Courage, Crane not only analyzes the struggle of a union soldier fighting to reunite the states, he also studies the internal back-and-forth battle occurring in protagonist Henry Fleming’s mind.…

    Acclaimed as America’s greatest war novel, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane offers insight to the war mentality during the Civil War. Although Crane did not experience the aspects of war himself, he vicariously narrates the war experience and impact in an effort to realistically describe the impact of war on perception of life and courage. A defining part of the book, pages 29-32, effectively succeeds in Crane’s efforts to describe the effects of war on man’s ability to resist fear and the limitation of previous beliefs. It begins with “He turned away amazed and angry. He felt that he had been wronged” (29).…

    It is very clear in my book, Stung by Bethany Wiggins, a constant theme is about character change. This book is about how Fiona wakes up years later from a drug induced sleep, and the world is in ruins. There had been a vaccine for a bee flu, but what people didn’t know was that the vaccine turned people into beasts. At first I thought that this book was just about bravery and how situations can cause you to act differently, but now I realize that this book is much deeper than that. As the main character, Fionna, starts to become braver as the story progresses, I now realize that the situation isn’t making her act out of character, but making her show who she really is.…

    War Changed Him Henry is a young man when he starts his journey as a soldier in the novel “Red Badge of Courage”. Throughout his time in the Civil War he learns more about himself than he would have ever imagined. A transition from teenager to being considered a man is a one that can be hard to grasp and confirm. For Henry he took a big step as a young man to participate in the Civil War. For such a generally young person it must have been a huge wake-up call for Henry to realize that his life is on the line now every minute of his life for the next couple of years, and in my opinion that can mature a person very quickly.…
