Pin Martel's The Scarlet Pimpernel

Improved Essays
There is a name that is known for mischief all for the good of the people. He is like a shadow in the background lurking in the day and night. Not many know what he looks like, only his helpers and the people that he help. I like the description.His name is the Scarlet Pimpernel, leaving a seal of a scarlet pimpernel wherever he has been. It gives a special emphasis on what he does. It tells us a classic story about old time superheros and how things were back then.
I have grown to like this book,The Scarlet Pimpernel and what it is about. So far in the book we have had all these dramatic scenes, even though we can’t see it, we can still imagine it happening. Also this story has such a good plot line that you can’t not have to read it. Because
