Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Mark Twain


            In the book, "Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, by the Sieur Louis de Conte," by Mark Twain, Joan proves to have many remarkable character traits. One of these traits is an immense amount of courage. She was known to be obedient to God throughout her life. Joan's consistent personality traits helped her get through battles, while leading her people to many victories during the Hundred Years War. .
             Joan was a very courageous woman. This young saint was incredibly brave, for, on May 27, 1429, while fighting in battle, she was wounded in the neck by an arrow. She continued to fight and her courage inspired her French warriors to win another victory over the English. Even when she was captured and sent to her trial, Joan did not give up listening to her voices and continued to stay strong and courageous. Joan's bravery was constant and that trait not only benefited her but also the French people in wartime. .
             Another one of the best traits that Joan of Arc exhibited was perseverance. Even in the beginning, when the Dauphin almost refused to grant her an audience with him, she was persistent and was determined to see him, despite any setbacks she'd have to face along the way. The young girl was often exposed to the dangers of war and yet, did not complain and was determined to lead her army through the war. Joan did fail to win any more victories in the sieges of Paris and La Charite-sur-Loire. Despite her failures, Joan continued to fight and Charles still supported her. This character trait stayed consistent with her throughout the whole story. Because of her perseverance and guidance from her "voices," Joan was able to get through the hardships of battle and win many wars with England. .
             Also, the young girl was very obedient to God. When she was only thirteen she had enough inner strength to obey God when he told her through "voices" to seek the Dauphin out and help him win back the city of Orleans from England.
