Stephen Crane’s book The Red Badge of Courage. The book follows a young boy who is at first frightened by the battle but in the end leads a charge and overcomes a rebel position.

The Red Badge of Courage is not a war novel. It is a novel about life. This novel illustrates the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Stephen Crane uses the war as a comparison to everyday life. He is semi-saying that life is like a war. It is a struggle of warriors—the every day people—against the odds.
