SOLUTION 
The Heroine of France-Joan of Arc 
Joan, a well-built, strong country girl of 17 to 18 years, is brave and courageous and 
unafraid of anything. She is confident and asks directly for whatever she wants and is 
sure of getting it. She is optimistic and feels that if God is on one's side, one can do 
anything. She is determined to go to Orleans and motivate the Dauphin to fight the 
English and save Orleans. Squire Robert and the others feel that if anyone can put 
some fight into the Dauphin, it is Joan. She is extremely patriotic and confidently says 
that she will teach the French soldiers to fight, and soon there will not be a single 
English soldier left on the soil of France.

away very easily.
