The Masque of the Red Death


I have read the book of tales by Edgar Allan Poe.
I like a lot this book because Edgar Allan Poe is a very good writer and his form of writing is very good.
The tales that I reed were: The Black Cat, William Willson, The Masque of the Red Death, The Fall of the House of Usher and The Tell-Tale Heart.
The tale that I most like was The Masque of the Red Death.
Is a story about one illnes that atack the city of Próspero, a prince of a imaginarian nation. And Próspero puts into his castle a lot of people to can suvrive to the atack of the Red Death. The persons who live on the castle is alive.
On the castle there are 7 rooms one of each color, and the last one is black with a clock who marks the hours. The sound that makes the clock is very scary.
One nigth, a lot of days before the starting of the Red Death, Próspero makes a masques dance, where everyone was dressed with terror clothes. In the party Próspero sees a man dreesed of Red Death, Próspero follow him in the castle to the black room. There Próspero atacks the masked person but when Próspero touch him dies, he is the encarnation of Red Death, who kills all the persons of the castle in the time that the clock sounds 12 times.

I like the tale and I want to read it in spanish because I don't understand very good english and I'm concentrated on the story and is more dificult to be scared.

Nº of Chapters: 8

I readed a comic of a serie called: One Piece.
This comic is about a pirat called Monkey D. Luffy that eats a devil fruit and wants to be the king of pirates.
The devil fruit is a “magical” fruit that awards special abilities to the person that eat it. The ability of Luffy is that his body is of rubber. He cans extend any part of his body a lot.
If someone want's to be the pirates king must to find the One Piece. The One Piece is a misterious object that anyone see never. Only see it the last pirates's king: Gold Roger.
The story of this comic is about the start of Luffy's adventrures and how he meets the pirates hunter Zoro Ronoa, he is the first person who enters in his crew. In this comic Luffy figth with the lady pirat Iron Mace Alvida and with a boss of the Navy called: Axe-hand Morgan because his rigth hand is an axe.

Luffy is very funny and crazy and always the people of his crew must to save him.

Ariza

I stayed in Ariza (the village of Hector Ariza and his father). Ariza is situtated in Zaragoza
I stay 3 days there and It was very funny because Hector and me were all the day together and if we weren't arguing/debating we were playing or speaking abuout science, philosophy, computer games or girls.
More or less nere of Hector's house there is a tennis court and we played all the afternoons, I always lose but it was funny to.
Before lunch we can't go playing tennis because it was very hot and we custom a computer game. Or we go to a “bar” called Chicote 2 and we played billiard and have cocacola, aquiarius...
At nigth we always wanted to see “Aqui no hay quien viva” but we go street all nigths and when we return home we must to sleep an we never can saw it.
I like stay in Ariza and I want to go other time but thins time I will want to stay more days there.

Albalate de Zorita

Before go to Ariza I stay in Albalate de Zorita the village of my neibourgh Marta and her mother. This villege is in province of Guadalajara and to go to the city of Guadalajara you must to stay in the car traveling one and half hour.
There I stayed 3 or 4 days. I meeted a lot of people, they are very friendly and we stay with them a lot of time.
The weather in this days was very hot.
In the mornigs Marta and me must to do homeworks and I reeded a lot. And in the afternoons we go to a comunitarian swiming-pool that there is more or less nere of Marta's house. We stay on the swaming-pool all the afternoon we go after lunch and return before dinner. We must to walk 10 or 15 minutes and there was always very hot after lunch.
I enjoy a lot this “travel” and the last day I must to got up very early to have a train and go to Ariza.
I like to go other time to Albalate and see again to my friends.
