I think of all the characters, major or minor, Wilson is one of the most interesting characters. Wilson, the loud soldier experienced a change in his attitude before and during the battle. Before the battle, he was pretty confidant and a little arrogant, he complained that they never got to fight an actual battle; instead, they only got to march around. He said he wants to really fight, instead of just marching around and wasting their strength. During the battle, Wilson became a different person; he was so scared of dying that he gave Henry the yellow envelope, fearing that he might not be able to see his parents again. When Henry went in the regiment with his wound, Wilson was eager to help him and took him to the doctor, Wilson took care of him and even lent him his sleeping bag. Before the battle, Wilson was not a very likable person; he was loud, arrogant and not very nice to other people. During the battle, Wilson became humble and treated other people nicely. I think the war had an impact on Wilson, it made him realize that he should be grateful that he has battle partners. I think he realized the importance of his comrades when he handed Henry the yellow envelope, and that’s why Wilson eagerly cared for the wounded soldiers that came in the regiment.
