    movie was really eye opening‚ while I don’t claim to really understand the mentality of why communists were so vilified‚ the way such innocent seeming people were treated is deplorable.

    Joan of Arc The Inquisitor speech towards Saint Joan is one of persuasion that uses rhetorical appeals such as ethos‚ logos and pathos to create the image of a damned vile creature in place of Joan‚ while convincing the clerics themselves to “feel” it is acceptable to condemn her soul.
