Batman, Superman, Spiderman and Robin Hood, do you know what their common characteristic is? The answer is that they hate all sorts of criminals and take care of kind people. They are heroes. Besides, Zorro is also a hero too. Many dishonest people, criminal and bandits are afraid of him. May be you’ve heard of Zorro before in storybooks, movies and television programme. Most of people think that Zorro is just a legend, but I can tell you Zorro’s adventure had happened before. The book was called Zorro and the story was happened in a wonderful day in California. Many poor people were beaten by outrageous soldiers and they were forced to give their money to the rich, so the rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Zorro stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The government was furious at him and offered a reward for capturing Zorro. A lot of enemies wanted to arrest him and Zorro was in danger. At that critical juncture, Zorro had to convince the government and helped the poor. On the other head, he had to escape from the enemies. Zorro had no chance to stop. Of course he succeeded finally. As you can see, the plot of Zorro is very simple and it is similar to the story of Batman, Superman and Robin Hood. The plot is not special and there are few of new words, so it’s easy to read. Despite of that, some personalities are extremely different from other English storybooks. There are no translations in common English storybooks. The translation is between English and Chinese, so that help us to learn English. In additional to the superficial thing, the truth behind the story is great too.
Although there are few difficult words in the book, the story told us a depth moral in these simple words. Although we have different languages, color of skin and stratums, we should help each other and do not hurt other people who are weaker than us. It is not easy to convey a message to different nationalities. However it isn’t a reason for us to make excuse to hurt others. If Germen and Semite could respect together, The Second World War won’t happen and many people won’t die in the war. The article in English Channel said that the criminal activities are increasing in famous cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, Beijing, etc. Most of them are caused by the lack of parents and friends’ care. Our world is small but there are many things that all human beings have to do so. Try to respect and take care of each other, like Zorro. Our new, beautiful world will be built up by our hands.
