Joan Of Arc: Bravery And Courage

Improved Essays
I wrote this because Joan needs to be remembered of how much bravery and courage she

had and how much pride she took in what she did for us, and what she did for her country was amazing and had a powerful impact on us.

Joan of Arc was born around 1412. Joan was the daughter of tenant farmer, Jacques, and the daughter of her mother Isabelle Romee.

Her siblings were Pierre d’Arc, Jacquemin d’Arc, Catherine d’Arc, and Jean d’Arc.

Joan was born from a poor family, she was just a peasant. Nothing special. She was born on a little farm, with her family.

Joan’s mother taught her domestic skills and religion, she was known to other people around her for her kindness.

Most importantly she was faithful to God and the mission he gave to her. She did this by “never taking her hand off the plow.”

but went to the utmost of her ability to serve God in any given way that she could until the death of her.

Joan of Arc plays so many roles in our lives today.

She can teach us so many things, but to be kind and obey God and what he says and listen carefully because everybody has a purpose on this planet, that’s why we were put here.

“Why do some historians spend so much time on Joan’s gender?”
Joan’s purpose is practical.

She didn’t dress up as a man because of her sexuality or gender, she didn’t choose it. She did it because she was following the rule of God and the mission he gave to her so that she could complete it.

Joan put on male attire because of a few reasons that make complete sense. So that she was taken seriously by the other men around her.

Also because she needed to gain entry into the male society, and gain acceptance by those she had come to

Even John Wayne, who perhaps had more respect than most for Native Americans, still portrayed them in a negative connotation. One of Wayne’s most popular movies, McClintock, has the American Indians stating a party was fun but “no whiskey, so we go home.”…

Every person who looked at the silver coin would see not only a picture of women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony, but also a symbol of the changing world, and how hard people had fought to make that change. This was the first time a woman had been etched into the metal of a coin, and it meant that the efforts of Friedan and Anthony were finally paying off. Despite being lampooned and ignored, both Anthony and Friedan made it their lifes’ work to grant women basic rights.

    Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a narrative that retells the events leading up to the death of Santiago Nasar. Throughout the novella, there are many instances in which a man is in a place of power, however, the female characters often are denied this opportunity. Power can be defined as having the ability to stand up for yourself or others, make your own decisions, and having an important role in society.
