n a brief passage from The Red Badge of Courage that describes the course of an assault using details and mental association rather than factual or realistic representation comes in chapter 23 when it states, “He himself felt daring spirit of a savage, religion-mad. He was capable of profound sacrifices, a tremendous death. He had no time for dissections, but he knew that he thought of the bullets only as things that could prevent him from reaching the place of his endeavor. There were subtle flashings of joy within him that thus should be his mind.”

What is the purpose of crane's account?
To show that Henry has enough confidence in his abilities to be able to get through the battle of which he was enthralled in.
