that Henry bind up Jim's wounds


that Henry write home to Jim's parents

Answer 1

• that Henry bind up Jim's wounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry comes back to strolling alongside the withdrawing troopers. He stresses that the warriors may perceive that he has kept running from the fight and that they are taking a gander at him and "pondering the letters of blame he felt consumed for his temples." "contemplating the letters of guilt he felt burned into his brow." Indeed, he envies the wounded soldiers and wishes for an emblem of battle, his own "[little] red badge of courage," — the first reference to the novel's title and a symbol of bravery — rather than having the feelings of guilt which he must keep within. Henry sees "the spectral soldier" lurching along, waving others away, needing to be separated from everyone else. On closer investigation, Henry understands that this perishing officer is Jim Conklin.

Answer 2

Henry binds up Jim's wounds.
