The problem with this summary excerpt is that it features opinions and judgments. The summary provides a subjective evaluation of Henry as a "brave man" and Jimmie as "ungrateful," which can influence the reader's perception of the characters rather than presenting an objective account of the story.
The Veteran
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.
