Similarities & differences between Lamb to the Slaughter and The Way Up To Heaven:

Both stories take place between couples, the female character love their husbands while the male characters show little or no love for their partners. The female characters did’t seem to care much about how their husband loved them. No matter how their husband treats them, they will still love their husband. Both women ‘ initiated’ the murder. Both women loved their husband dearly put at the conflict of the story, they changed totally and no longer loved their husband, which is a 180 degree change in their stereotypes.

In LTTS, Patrick shows no love for his wife, Mary. In The Way Up To Heaven, Mr Foster tortures his wife by making her late. Normally Mrs Foster is very obsessed on being on time, her husband forces her to be late intentionally.

Mary kills her husband in one blow, with the lamb leg. Mrs Foster tortures her husband slowly, when her husband is trapped in the life, she just left him there to die. Mary destroyed the evidence that was used to kill Patrick, in this case it was the lamb leg. Mrs Foster did not destroy any evidence as there was no evidence in the first place, her husband suffocated in the lift. In other world Mr Foster died worse than Patrick.

Patrick found a new love and that was the reason of him leaving his wife. Mr Foster just disliked his wife but did not do anything drastic. Patrick was expecting a baby in a few months, whereas Mr Foster’s children were all grown up

Personally i think that Mary Maloney was more ‘ humane’ when killing her husband as the husband died immediately on the spot and did not suffer much. For Mrs Foster i think that she made her husband pay for what he did to her. Slowly torturing her.

The most exciting experience i have had driving something was last year December. Together with my primary school friend, Augustine, we went to Escape Theme Park for the whole day and chalet after that.

I didn't find everything there exciting except for the go kart racing. It was really thrilling too. Smelling the gas coming out of the engine was simply amazing. But the true fun lies in the racing part. Travelling at fast speeds, you can feel your body being pushed into the seat. As you turn, you can feel your body rocking about, you feel like you are going to fall off but then u don't. It really gets your adrenaline pumping.

The most disappointing part was that the track was too short, merely 1km long, 3 laps would probably end in 3 minutes. I hope that they can expand the track so that it would be more enjoyable

I would recommend you all to go there as it would be an unforgettable experience.

Jenson Button, born on the 19th January 1980, is a British Formula driver signed by Maclaren Mercedes who is racing in the World Formula 1 Championship.

He first started racing in the 2000 Season, with the Williams Team, then switching to Benetton in 2001, which in 2002 became Renault F1. After two years with the Enstone-based squad, he then switched to BAR in 2003, now knows as Honda for the 2006 season, during which Button won his first Grand Prix in Hungary, on 6 August 2006, after 113 races.

Following the withdrawal of Honda from the sport in December 2008, he was left without a drive for the 2009 season. Then Brawn signed him and Button suddenly found himself in a highly competitive, Mercedes-engined car. He went on to win six of the first seven races of the 2009 season, equalling a record achieved by only two other drivers: Michael Schumacher and Jim Clark. At the Brazilian Grand Prix, he amassed enough points over his rivals to secure the 2009 World Drivers' Championship.q

An amazing fact, I got his signature when he came to Singapore in 2008

Rhys Millen, who was born in New Zealand, is the nephew of IMAS GTS driver Steve Millen, son of Rod Millen and the elder brother of Ryan Millen, is the top competitor in drifting.

Being unsucessful in rallying, he switched to drifting after his second season, he started winning championships, 2 in total. His major sponsors are Red Bull and Pontiac Motor Company. This year, Pontiac withdrew and Hyundai took over, sponsoring him with a Hyundai Genesis.

*****This has nothing to do with cars!*****

My favourite story would be lamb to the slaughter because i think Roald Dahl is a very clever writer. At first, he described Mary Maloney as a perfect housewife, loving his husband, waiting for him to go out for dinner and drinking whiskey together. But when she heard that her husband was leaving her, she was totally shocked. (i expected her to cry and beg him not to leave but this is not the case) She took out a lamb leg and hit hert husband with it, killing him. (totally different from my hypothesis) after that she didn't even cry, where was the women we knew that loved her husband so much?
From the start, it didn't show that she was very bright but after what happened, our way of seeing her changed. She was a intelligent women, she created an alibi and then told the officers to eat her weapon used to kill her husband(the lamb leg).
Overall, i think that Roald Dahl did this as at a time where the reader seemed bored, he was able to drag the writer back in again.

Boyd Leon Coddington, was the owner of the Boyd Coddington Hot Rod Shop and also a star of American Hot Rod on TLC, is the king of Hot Rods. He build cars that were like no other you would see on the road. There is the 1932 Ford, CadZZilla, and many more. unfortunately he died on February 27 due to long-time diabetic. It was said that he died from complications that were brought on from a recent surgery along with liver and kidney complications. Though he is not alive, we can will still remember him. His show is still airing on Discovery Turbo and there should be a marathon when it is his anniversary.

The CadZZilla was a masterpiece, it was commissioned by ZZtop and designed by Larry Erickson . It is acclaimed as one of the great expressions of automotive customization. In "History of Hot Rods & Customs" the auto editors of Consumer Guide praise it as "the first really new type of custom since the heyday of the 1950s.
