Hi njeri...I am interested in why you have called the French saint, "Jehanne of ARC". Her French name is actually Jeanne d'Arc, but you are writing an English poem, so it's okay to call her Joan of Arc. Arc is a town so is not written in capitals after the first letter.

Hi Julia..as i was researching about Joan i learned that her medieval name is Jehanne and so i wanted to go with that name. I hope the sponsor is not going to mind it since its the same name of the same person. My capitalization of the name arc was just my art. Nothing special to it. Am glad i entered this contest coz i learnt about someone that i hadn't heard about before. Thank u Julia
