Will War Change Jonathan?

http://teamduke.blogspot.com I wonder what will happen to Jonathan. In the book I've noticed that when Jonathan walked in the rain with the three enemy soldiers they walked right back to the battle field when his troop fought with the Hessians. While " the wash of rain seemed to obliterate him ," Jonathan had seen what happened. In the middle of the battle field stood blood and ash, but the only thing he didn't see was his troop, the Corporal, and the Hessians?! Was his fellow soldiers taken away and sent to prison? Did they retreat without telling Jonathan. In the last page of this chapter it said, " He felt abandoned totally alone." Many harsh things had happened to Jonathan , but will his curiousity bring him his downfall? That may happen, yet the fact that the three dutch speaking soldiers hadn't killed him yet, is the only reason keeping Jonathan cooperating and from doing something he wouldn't regret.

Does taking risks make Jonathan a hero?

I was interested when Jonathan made his risk by telling them where he was, ultimately he was made fun of for being a young fool in a war. Even though that had occurred Jonathan was making his risk by trying to pay attention secretly to what the Dutch speaking soldiers were saying. For example, in pg. 66 it said " Carefully, furtively, he studied their faces, trying to guess their thought and moods. " Another thing he was doing was making sure he wasn't a threat by trying to understand and communicate with the three soldiers.
