The excerpt from the first chapter of Stephen Crane's "Red Badge of Courage" describes the main character's desire to enlist in the army and his fascination with the stories of war and glory. However, his mother discourages him, emphasizing the importance of his role on the farm rather than on the battlefield. This sets up a conflict within the protagonist, as he grapples with his desire for adventure and the expectations placed upon him by his family.
