Joan la Aventurera

El libro Joan of the Arc me parecio muy importante porque da a entender como una mujer tiene el valor para poder ayudar a las personas pobres que no tienen que comer. Ella era una mujer aventurera porque le gustaba viajar con su amigo el rey Louis ellos eran muy buenos amigos inseparables ellos siempre luchaban juntos en las guerras. Joan era una mujer muy respetuosa y cariñosa con los niños a ella queria mucho a los niños. Este libro era muy importante porque me dio a entender que la mujer es un orgullo que se puede tener.

A great abirdged version of a great classic!!!!

This book told Joan of Arc's story in an easy, but yet fun and enchanting way. Joan of Arc's story has always amazed me, but hearing about it was nothing compared to this way of reading the classic. I say that this book was definitly one of the best books I've read, and obviously the best abridged classic I ever have read.
