Answer 7

He changes from being loud and boastful to humble and quietly confident.

Wilson is appropriately dubbed "the Loud Soldier." Interestingly, Wilson drops the attitude (and the epithet) as the novel progresses. He undergoes a change in personality, not unlike the transformation our protagonist experiences himself. As Wilson becomes a self-sacrificing friend to Henry, he guides him (the same way Jim did via his death) in regards to what it means to be a man, and what it means to be courageous.
