(The Red Badge of Courage) In Chapter 4. what was ironic about Henry wanting to run toward the fighting?

A) He had just run away from the battle

B) He could see the tall man over all of the fighting, which symbolized his strength

C) He kept seeing the tattered man.

D) He could not run because of his guilt

A.

Explanation:

"The Red Badge of Courage" is a book written by Stephen Crane. The novel is about a teenage boy, Henry Fleming, who enrolls himself in the military with the hope to earn glorification.

But once he enters into the military and battleground, his fear comes upon him and he begins to retreat from the war.

In Chapter 4, the incident when Henry is running towards the fighting is ironic because he just fled the battle. When Henry hears of the renewed battle, he wants to run toward the battle, from where he just fled.

Therefore, option A is correct.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
