Zorro is Don Diego Vega

Zorro and his big group of fighters went to the jail to save the Pulidos and they took them out of there. Zorro and Captain Ramon had a hand-to-hand fight in which Ramon ended dying with the Mark of Zorro in his face. After that, Gonzales and seven of his fighters appeared to fight Zorro and Lolita alone. When Gonzales was advancing and going to kill Zorro and Lolita, Zorro's fighters appeared and saved them from Gonzales. Lolita had to choose to marry Zorro or Don Diego, but first she wanted Zorro to take off his mask. When Zorro took off his mask, everybody could see that he was Don Diego Vega.

"My brave caballeros! he said. They will help us now." This happened when Zorro's fighters appeared to save him and Lolita from Seargent Gonzales.
"Well, which man do you love? asked Don Diego" "Both of them! she said, laughing" Lolita said that she loves Don Diego Vega and Zorro since she discovered that these two men were the same person.

Zorro went to the jail to save the Pulidos since he loves Lolita. He had to kill Captain Ramon because he fooled the governor and caused the Pulidos to get to prison. The governor was sent out of Los Angeles and Don Alejandro Vega took the charge of protecting this city. Zorro revealed that he was Don Diego Vega and finished marrying Lolita.

Pulidos in Prison

Don Diego Vega went to his father's home to visit and talk with him. A group of ten men arrived to the house of Don Alejandro Vega. Zorro also went there and spoke to them about how bad and cruel was the governor of California and that they should destroy him and at the end he convinced the group of men to do that. On the other side, the governor read the letter that Captain Ramon wrote to him. He went to Captain Ramon's office and they decided to arrest the Pulidos.

"The soldiers must arrest Don Carlos and his family." The letter from Captain Ramon made the governor very angry and decided to arrest Don Carlos and his family.
"We'll get out of here. Perhaps a friend will rescue us!" Lolita said this referring to Zorro and she is showing that she trusts Zorro's abilities and love which will take the out of prison.

The governor of California and Captain Ramon are really bad people because they arrested the Pulidos for no good reason. The Pulidos, while being captured, were confused because they knew that they hadn't done anything wrong. Sadly and looking at the ground, the Pulidos finally went to jail by the orders of the governor. Lolita's final comment shows that she is convinced that Zorro will rescue them. Will Zorro appear to save the Pulidos from  prison?

Don Diego is so weak

Zorro went to Captain Ramon´s office and find the letter that he wrote to the governor of California and burned one of the two copies, but he thought that that was the only one. He wanted to fight Captain Ramon, but Seargent Gonzales and his soldiers entered immediately so he had to escape. Lolita told Don Diego Vega about what Captain Ramon had done to her and how he entered to his house. He told Lolita that he was going to talk to Captain Ramon and that make her angry because she couldn´t belief that he was so weak. After speaking with him, Captain Ramon started to laugh about how soft Don Diego is.

"Gonzales! shouted Captain Ramon. Come quickly! Save me! Zorro is here!" This happened when Zorro wanted to attack Captain Ramon and suddenly appeared Gonzales to save him.
"Lolita was very angry. Why was Don Diego so weak? Lolita preferred Zorro because he was brave and Don Diego was too soft and he was looked as a coward.

Brave people are the ones who everybody likes and admires in life. It is not bad or incorrect being soft or quiet, but you can´t be like that for your whole life. In this case, Don Diego Vega is too weak and Lolita doesn't like that at all. It seems like Lolita is going to choose Zorro for sure, but there can always happen something abnormal.

Lolita´s Three Admirers

Don Diego Vega, Captain Ramon, and Zorro wanted to marry Lolita. Don Carlos (Lolita´s father) wanted Lolita to marry either Don Diego or Captain Ramon since his family had lost its money and they were rich. The one who Lolita really loved was Zorro, but that was not something good for Don Carlos. Don Ramon realized that Lolita didn´t love him so he decide to take revenge and punish her and the Pulido family. He wrote a letter to the governor of California telling him that the Pulidos helped Zorro escape from him when he was going to capture Zorro.

"I heard a lady scream and I came to help her, said Zorro." Everybody thinks Zorro is a thief, but instead of that, he is a good man.
"You´ll be sorry for that, my darling! he said." Lolita told Captain Ramon that she was not interested in him and he didn´t like that at all.

Lolita is a woman who is pretended by many men, but winning her love is very difficult. Captain Ramon wanted to get her, but Lolita rejected which made him really angry. Don Diego Vega and Zorro had treat her very well, but she seems to be more interested in Zorro. The balance is inclined towards Zorro, but who will Lolita choose to get married?

Zorro vs Gonzales

Don Diego Vega was a man from a very rich family that were friends with the governor of California. Seargent Gonzales was the most important soldier of the governor. These two men were really different from each other because Gonzales was cruel and angry, but Don Diego Vega was soft and quiet. Zorro was a man wanted by the government because he was known as a thief and Gonzales wanted to kill him and get the reward. When Don Diego Vega went to his home that he was ready to fight Zorro and he will tell him what happens.

"Four days ago you stopped a man on the road and beat him cruelly." Zorro said this because he had seen Gonzales do this and the man was one of his friends. This gave Zorro a reason to fight Gonzales, so they both want to kill each other.
"´Very well, Señor Zorro,´he said.´We will fight.´" I thought that thee rivalry and anger were big and one of the two men will die for sure at some point.

Don Diego Vega and Gonzales´s ways of thinking are opposite, but still they are friends. Gonzales is a bad guy who kills brutally and wants desperately the reward for Zorro. Gonzales is sure that he can kill Zorro and get his reward, but this is not as easy as he thinks it can be. Gonzales and Zorro will be at constant fight during the story. Who will win this intense fight.

Night Hoops

This book is about two teens that were basketball players and their names were Trent Dawson and Nick Abbott. At the start of the story, these two hated each other because Trent was a bully and his older brother, Zack, was a criminal. One day in a newspaper, it appeared that Zack killed a man in a bridge and the family had to get out of the city immediately. The team needed both Nick and Trent since they were the best players of the whole team, so Trent agreed to play only until they were the champions or the season ended and then he will leave. At the end, Nick and Trent´s team won the championship and these two enemies ended being friends just before the Dawson´s going to leave.

"Against the fast break, you have to stop the ball. That´s rule number one, even if it´s Trent Dawson, eyes wild, who´s barreling down the lane at you, and even if it´s just a summer pick-up game. You´ve still got to suck it up and do it. So I challenged him, holding my position, feet set."
At this point, in the start of the book, I realized that Trent was a bad guy and Nick has something against him.
"So the two of us stayed where we were. A minute went by, then another, and another. It was pleasant just to sit, not saying anything."
From this quote at the end of the book, I recognized how two persons that hate each other can end up being good friends and how life can present a lot of changes in a positive way all of a sudden.

This book has a really good message that is important that everyone knows. This message is that you should give always a second chance to everyone to change and they can end up giving you a big surprise. In this story, two people gave a second chance: Nick´s father gave Nick a second chance by focusing more on him and helping him to improve, and Nick did the same for Trent by being more flexible and letting him get his good things out and being his friend. It is really important to give other people an oportunity to change and end up being a better person on a court or wherever he or she is.

The World is Saved!

"I have to fight him," I told her. "It´s my fight too, Percy."
Both, Percy and Annabeth knew that they had to fight Kronos and it was crucial to save the gods, themselves, and the world.
"I´m immortal you fool! I have escaped Tartarus. You have no business here, and no chance to live."
Kronos is right in telling this to Nico and the half-bloods, but they can still destroy him without killing him and he will be gone for another long time.

Final Thoughts & Comments

The half-bloods are really brave to fight Kronos. They knew that they were at risk of dying and Kronos was not (he will be destroyed and could appear again in a long time, but is still not dying).
The reason why the half-bloods fight was something that helped them because they knew what was at stake. Percy and the half-bloods are real heroes and they are the ones that can say that they saved the world.
