Dear Hailey,
Thanks a lot. I was happy to get your letter. I was surprised that you can ride a horse.

In your letter you asked me about my favorite activity. I like to play the guitar. Of course it 's my hobby. I began to play this musical instrument when I was ten. And now I play very difficult musical compositions.
What's more, I've taken part in several contests. I 'm sure that it's rather difficult to play the guitar because you must practice a lot to be successful.
As for my dream, I 'd like to become a famous guitarist.

I'm sorry I must go to musical school. Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Joshua

A wealthy American business magnate, playboy, and ingenious scientist, Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping. When his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction, he instead creates a mechanized suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Later, Stark develops his suit, adding weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man. Although at first concealing his true identity, Stark eventually publicly reveals himself to be Iron Man.

Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and industry in the fight against communism. Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War motifs to contemporary matters of the time.
