Summary: A great novel
Comment: It is awful how these idiots who have to read this book for high school have weighted down The Red Badge's rating. Looking at their "criticisms," if you can call them that, it seems their main problem was that "it's boring," "too many descriptions," "I didn't understand it." It's sad that supposedly high school students are writing as shallowly as that. The basic story of The Red Badge is well known: young Henry Fleming goes into combat for the first time, flees in cowardice, takes an introspective journey into his own soul, then redeems himself with his courage on the battlefield. Somehow, the boy who entered the battle, has come out a man. The title itself is ironic. It comes from Henry's envy of those wounded soldiers who have their own "red badge of courage" which will protect them from any accusations of cowardice, but when Henry himself gets his own little "red badge" from getting clubbed on the head with a gunstock it becomes clear how superficial a mark of honor it is. True courage resides within. To those people who want to read this book: do not be scared off by these bad reviews from students assigned to read the book; they were already prejudiced against it from the start.

Summary: Red Badge...A book that will make you tear
Comment: The Red Badge of Courage by stephen Crane is one of the most spectacular books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Throughout my life I have een completely anti-war. I didn't want war, I didn't want to read about it,...nothing. Over the summer I took the time to read Red Badge which was suggested to me by a few friends. I was blown away. Never have I received such a compelling impact from a book as from that novel. (I even cried with the characters.) The imagery that Crane creates is absolutely moving. You are not only put in the middle of the Civil Wat, but you become a part of the Union Army, fighting fot the unity of your country. A belief that you would die for. You will feel the anticipation of a soldier right before a battle, as well as the terriffying moral dilema of whether or not you should run away once being fired upon. Crane's characters, although having no direct names, pull you into their lives through their strong diolouge. He who reads this novel will learn so much about themselves, and human nature through just two pages of the wounded man's speech to Henry Fleming, the main character. Who knew that the simple imagery of a wound as a "Red Badge of Courage," would be able to move so many people? the Red Badge of Courge is simply a masterpiece. A book that will forever be capable of sharing the horror's of war to generations far into the future. I strongly recommend that you open your curiosity, heart, and mind, and read the Red Badge of Courage.

Summary: UGH!!! HARD TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW!
Comment: i'm sorry for all the people that like this book. I had to read it during the summer and I read like 4 pages a day 1. because i had to stop and think about what happened 2. because i just hate the book! I don't see why teachers make children read it. it reads like it is for adults who understand books word for word. It's so hard to follow! i'm done! don't buy it!
