To begin I think it’s best to give a brief summary of our story. Crane shows us a small army of men, ready to fight, ready to move. The men appear to be bickering back and forth as to when, and where they’re headed to. So instead of experiencing their instant glory, instead they get tedious waiting. Next we’ll meet a young boy named Henry who wishes to enlist, but his mother tells him to not be a fool. However, by the next day Henry had gone to town and enlisted in a company that was to be…
