A comrade is defined as a person who shares one’s interests and activities; a friend or companion. Henry considered Jim and Wilson to be his comrades, however Jim and Wilson are brave and fight, while Henry runs away in cowardice. Jim, Henry’s supposed “friend” stayed, fought, and died on the battle field while Henry fled, leaving his “buddy” to battle alone. Wilson, one of Jim’s friends, also stayed and fought. Henry and Wilson become comrades because they both have lost their friend Jim. However, this is where the similarity between the two stops. Jim and Wilson were Henry’s friends, but Henry’s lack of fighting experience keeps them from being true “comrades”.
