The Red Badge of Courage- Ch 12

In this chapter Henry happens to get into a mix up of soldiers. They all come running while Henry is ust walking down the road. He tries to find out why they are acting like that but no one will talk to him. Henry then tries to get one guys attention but he says to let him go and he hits Henry which knocks him out. He is taken back to camp by some guy and doesn't know who is was.

• I don't know why the story changed so much between chapters. It doesn't seem to fit into the story yet.
• Why wouldn't anyone tell Henry what was going on?
