Not only did the French and Natives have an effect on life inside the church, but outside as well and Greer paints the picture effectively through the dual biography between Catherine and Claude. They both come from different cultures and Greer offers a better understanding through the history of both of their lives before meeting and then when they meet a few years before the death of

Joan of Arc had an important role in the Hundred Years’ War for a French peasant girl who basically led France to its victory, and was able to save the monarchy. During her teenage years, Joan started to hear voices, which she claimed to be the voices of Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret. Later on, those voices spoke to her telling her that the dauphin had to be crowned and that the English had to be expelled from France. She had many obstacles in the way but in the end they were convinced. The French believed her, because the court believed that only a miracle could save the country.

Joan of Arc was a simple peasant girl the youngest of five children born into a family of pious parents whom worshipped God in a in a village near the province of Lorraine, in a far off village known as Domremy. Joan having been born a peasant and in a village, not in a city had very little education and with there were being two different factions of the French people following the two different kings, Kings Charles VII and King Henry V. Even with Joan’s little education, she believed that King Charles VII should be king because she had been given messages from the visions received from the saints of Margeret, Catherine and Michael that Charles was the one true king chosen by God. At the age of thirteen Joan believed that she was chosen
“I am not afraid... I was born to do this” I picked this quote of Joan of Arc because she does not give up even though she is afraid. A French saint and a hero in the Hundred Years' war was Joan of Arc an important figure in World History because this farm girl helped save the French from English rule and was called the Maid Orleans and the Maid of France. She inspired the French and led them to many victories. Joan of Arc was born on January 6, 1412 into a French tenant farmer in the village of Domrémy, in northeastern France.
Joan of Arc was a well-known heroine of France for her leadership during the Lancastrian Phase during the Hundreds Years’ War.

Gee argues that, “The key to Discourses is ‘recognition,’ If you put language, action, interaction, values, beliefs, symbols, objects, tools, and places together in such a way that others recognize you as a particular type of who (identity) engaged in a particular type of what (activity), here-and-now, then you have pulled off a Discourse (and thereby continued it through history, if only for a while longer).” (Gee, p. 446). Consistent with Gee’s argument that recognition is crucial to a Discourse community, Catholics are recognized and socially identify by their beliefs and rituals (Gee, p. 442). Traditionally, Catholic Churches have a set meeting place to offer Mass that is held on Sundays. In addition, Catholics have specified times when they abstain from certain activities or consumption of different items.
Donna Woolfolk Cross presents her novel, Pope Joan, in a time in which people remain trapped in a fixed traditional belief system, and uses Joan´s priesthood to reveal the dangers that come from looking beyond it. For instance, while completing her duties at the monastery, Joan realizes that diseases could be transmitted by physical contact, and departs from custom by dipping a piece of bread in wine. This infuriated Abbot Raban, the archbishop, who confronted Joan about her actions with grim disapproval. While trying to deliver an explanation about why she broke tradition, Abbot Raban cut her off by telling her, ¨Such observations are useless, for they come not from faith but from physical senses, which are not to be trusted¨ (229). As can
She was born in 1542 and a week later her father died. When she was six years old she was shipped to France to marry the Dauphin, Francois Valois.

Then I will continue on to talk about those important events of her life in more detail. For example, her visions, the siege and relief of Orleans, the attack on Paris and Joans trial and execution. I will be using several sources to gather information including Joan of Arc by Francis C. Lowell and Joan of Arc by Philip Henry Stanhope.

When Joan was around 12 years old, she began to experience visions from saints and angles. In these visions she was able to see and touch them. Over time they became more vivid, and the saints called her the ‘Saviour of France’, urging her to seek assistance from Charles and to help him to regain his throne. Around the age of 16, she decided to act upon these insights.

Overall, there is a number of reasons why the WW1 lasted for so long and was not ‘over by Christmas’ as it was suggested by German military leaders. The most important factor is the advances in the military technology and introduction of new and improved armaments such as poison gas and machine guns. This lead to an increased popularity of the trench warfare, which decelerated the course of the war. Although, that is the most significant factor, there are other reasons, which explain the duration of the war, such as a diplomatic stalemate. The inability of military leaders of both Central and Allied powers to reach a consensus on territorial and political issues have led to a prolongation of the war.
