3. Newt is braved determined and confident. He shows bravery when he decides
to go AWOL and leave the army. After that he decides to turn himself in to the
army when he was finished with what he wanted to do. Even though the
author doesnt explain the journey he took to meet Catharine it probably took
a lot of perseverance. It is highly likely he was low on food and water by
himself. That one goal kept him alive to meet Catharine. The last point is his
confidence. He repeatedly kisses women because he is confident of himself
that he is better than her husband and she will cancel her wedding for him.

The author showed many hints that Catherine was just excited to be a bride
that were mostly linked from her reactions to Newt. After Newt was kissing
her she kept on saying things like what would people say if they caught you
doing that. Which is hinting that she doesnt really care about her husband
but if she cheats on him she wont be a bride anymore
