The problem with this summary excerpt is that "It features opinions and judgments." The language used in the summary reflects subjective evaluations, particularly in describing Jimmie as "ungrateful" and stating that Henry shows "just how much better a person he is than his grandson." These phrases indicate a biased perspective rather than a neutral recounting of the events.
by Stephen Crane
A brave man named Henry Fleming is a veteran living in a village. He has an ungrateful grandson named Jimmie. After Henry admits that he once ran away during a battle, Jimmie begins to think his grandfather is a coward. Henry proves just how wrong Jimmie is when he runs into a burning barn to save some animals. The grandfather dies when the roof collapses. In the process, Henry shows just how much better a person he is than his grandson.
