The Mask of Zorro

The stranger stood in the dark shadows by the door. His large sombrero was pulled down over his eyes. He wore a long dark cloak around his body.

     The Mask of Zorro takes place in California in about 1822. At that time, California was controlled by Spain. The man, Zorro, is very clever and full of mystery. Nobody has seen his face because he wears a black mask and in black coming out. He cuts the faces of his enemies with his sword, marking them with a shape like the letter Z. The governor offers a reward for Zorro. They will pay a lot of money to the man who kills Zorro. Sergeant Gonzales is a strong man and he often fights with other soldiers. He wants to kill Zorro and get the reward. Lorita has three admirers. They are Don Diego Vega, Captain Ramon and Zorro. Who will win this lady's love? Do you think Zorro will be caught or not?

"I'm not a real theid. I only punish the enemies of the poor and the weak." (p.7)

     The main character in this book, Zorro, is similar with a Korean drama I've watched which is called "Iljimae". He always helps people in need. And he has never killed people, though he always fights with bad people who are very rich. So he is such a hero that everyone respect him and treat him as treasure. It is a great drama that you should watch it once!
