I chose this painting of Joan of Arc because there are similarities between her and the old man. The old man might be old in the body, but he still has his pride; his pride made him not give up after eighty-four days without catching a single fish, his pride made him sail further than any other fisherman, and his pride sustained him and helped him to endure the cuts on his hands and his aching back. Joan of Arc was proud to be female and it did not stop her from fighting for her country and for what she believed in. She led her country into battles and to victory. She also met her death bravely and composed, showing that she was proud of what she did to help her people.
