Book Review of Percy Jackson and The Titan's Curse

Book Review
Grover has located two new demigods, Bianca and Nico Di Angelo. Percy, Annabeth and Thalia meet up with him, attempting to bring them to camp half-blood. Along the way, a manticaore ambushes them and tries to kidnap Bianca and Nico. The hunters of Artemis come to the rescue and that is where the team meets Artemis and her lieutenant Zoe Nightshade. However, Annabeth disappears and is nowhere to be found. At that point, Bianca decides to join the hunt after some considerstion. Soon Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, goes on a mission alone without the hunters. When they recieved word that Artemis is in danger, Percy and his friends must set out on a quest for Artemis before the winter solstice meeting of the Olympian council, for the goddess's influence could change an important vote on the war against the Titans. Thalia, Zoe Nightshade, Bianca Di Angelo, and Grover go on this dangerous quest. Percy is unable to go on the quest due to the fact that he is a boy while the other members of the quest are females, Grover does not count as he is a satyr. They are searching for a rare monster that Artemis was trying to hunt down when she went missing; it is so strong that it can obliterate Olympus. Percy is called by a hippocampus to rescue a marine cow-like creature called the Ophiotaurus, whom Percy names Bessie, not knowing it is male. Therefore, Percy stealthily sneaks away from camp with Blackjack, his thrusty pegasus but he is caught by Dionysus, God of wine. Dionysus sets Percy free as once he thinks that if he ventures on this quest, it will cause his own demise. After being attacked by skeleton warriors and a Nemean Lion and obtaing its fur as a symbol of victory. Only then does Zoe trust Percy and he is allowed to join the team on the quest. With help from Apollo, they reach Cloudcroft, a small town in New Mexico. Percy realises that Zoe Nightshade once had a relationship with Hecules and that Riptide belonged to Zoe in the past. Grover senses the presence of Pan, the Greek god of nature, and a wild gift from him, the giant Erymanthian Boar, comes to carry them further on to San Francisco. It takes them to the junkyard of the gods, and Percy meets Ares and talks to Aphrodite, at which point it is hinted that Annabeth and Percy will most likely have a romantic future. Eventually, the group enters the junkyard, where Bianca tries to steal an action figure for her younger brother. She accidentally awakens a prototype of Talos, a giant man of bronze, and dies after successfully destroying it. While being attacked by skeletal warriors at the Hoover Dam, Percy meets Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a girl who can see through the Mist. She saves Percy by confusing the skeletons, allowing Percy and his friends to escape. In San Francisco, they learn that Bessie the Ophiotaurus is the monster they seek, because sacrificing it and burning its entrails will give them power to destroy Olympus. They go to seek the help of Annabeth's father; he gives them a car. They travel to the Garden of Hesperides, where Zoe meets her sisters and is poisoned by the dragon Ladon. They continue to the Mountain of Despair on California's Mount Tamalpais, where Mt. Othrys, the Titan capital, now resides. From the top of the mountain where Atlas held up the sky, they see Artemis taking on his burden. Annabeth is held captive by Luke. Realizing that the prophecy made by the Oracle involves him, Percy takes the burden—the Titan's curse—from Artemis. In the ensuing fight, Atlas, the General of the Titans kills his daughter Zoe by throwing her against rocks. Artemis tricks Atlas into taking his burden from Percy. During a battle between Thalia and Luke, Luke falls off a cliff and Percy assumes that Luke is dead. When they return to Olympus for the winter solstice, the gods decided the fate of Percy granting him permission to live for he may be the one that will save Olympus from the Titans. Due to the passing away of Zoe, Artemis needs a new lieutenant and she chooses Thalia. To be chosen to be the new lieutenant of the hunt was an honour and Thalia gladly accepts. Later, Percy is told by Annabeth, and confirmed by Poseidon, that Luke has survived. Nico Di Angelo now bears a grudge against Percy for not protecting his sister when he promised to do so. Nico is angered and wants to seek revenge, he unleashes his power for the very first time and is revealed to Percy as the son of Hades, God of death when he summons Skeleton warriors. He runs away from camp half-blood and now Percy has found himself a new enemy.

Favourite Character
My Favourite character would have to be Zoe Nightshade. She is very courageous and brave. Even though the oracle said that one will perish by a parent's hand and that she knew she would die at her father, Atlas's hands. Yet, she still ventured on the quest for she was loyal to Artemis, Goddess of the hunt. She even sacrificed herself when Ladon was about to attack the group. In the process, she was poisoned when the claw of Ladon injured her. With the injury, she still went and faced Atlas, general of the Titans. She died a heroic death and was now seen in the night sky as one of the constellation. She is the original owner of Riptide and maybe without her, Percy would have fallen at one of his nemisis's hands a long time ago if Zoe had not created Riptide for Hercules to slay Ladon.

Unique Selling Point of the Book
This is a book about Greek mythology which I thought was all about gods and mystical creatures and it would be boring to the extend that I fall asleep reading it. Turns out, I was mistaken. The very moment I started reading the book, I could not help myself but continue reading till the end. Rick Riordan has depicted the concept of Greek mythology so well that it is enticing and his books have the power to grip people to finish reading the book. This is a book that has the potential to go beyond what is expected of it. Therefore, I believe that this is a book suitable for all ages to read, so you'd better go to the library and borrow it or go to popular to purchase it. This is a book that is definitely worthy of your time, money and effort reading so go and check it out now.

Book Review of Gulliver’s Travels

Book Review
In Gulliver’s Travels, the book is split into four parts with each representing one of Gulliver’s voyages. Through these voyages, Gulliver experiences life from different perspective.
Part I: A Voyage to Lilliput
May 4th – May 13th, 1702
The book begins giving a brief outline of Gulliver’s life and history prior to his past voyages. He enjoys traveling, although it is that love of travel that leads to his own downfall. On one of his voyages, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and awakes to find himself a prisoner of a race of people one-twelfth the size of normal human beings, less than 6 inches high, who are inhabitants of the neighbouring and rival countries of Lilliput and Blefuscu. After giving assurances of his good behaviour, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favourite of the court. From there, the book follows Gulliver's observations on the Court of Lilliput, which is intended to satirise the court of George I, the King of England during that period of time. Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbours the Blefuscudians by stealing their fleet. However, he refuses to reduce the country to a province of Lilliput, displeasing the King and the court. Gulliver is charged with treason and sentenced to be blinded. With the assistance of a kind friend, Gulliver escapes to Blefuscu, where he spots and retrieves an abandoned boat and sails out to be rescued by a passing ship which safely takes him back home. The Building of residence that Gulliver is given in Lilliput is of note, as in this section he describes it as a temple in which there had some years ago been a murder and the building had been abandoned. Swift in this section is revealing himself as a member of the Freemasons; this being an allusion to the murder of the grand master of the Freemasons, Hiram Abiff.
Part II: A Voyage to Brobdingnag
June 20, 1702 — June 3, 1706
During one of Gulliver’s voyages, the sailing ship Adventure which he is on is steered off course by storms and forced to go in to land in search of fresh water, Gulliver is abandoned by his companions and found by a farmer who is 72 feet tall. Unlike in Lilliput where the people are a twelfth of Gulliver’s height, the people in Brobdingnag are twelve times the size of Gulliver himself. He brings Gulliver home and his daughter care for Gulliver. The farmer treats him as a curiosity and exhibits him for money. The word gets out and the Queen of Brobdingnag wants to see the show. She loves Gulliver and he is then bought by her and kept as a favourite at court. Since Gulliver is too small to use their huge chairs, beds, knives and forks, the queen commissions a small house to be built for him so that he can be carried around in it. This box is referred to as his travelling box. In between small adventures such as fighting giant wasps and being carried to the roof by a monkey, he discusses the state of Europe with the King. The King is not impressed with Gulliver's accounts of Europe, especially when he learns of the usage of guns and cannons. On a trip to the seaside, his "travelling box" is seized by a giant eagle which then drops Gulliver and his box right into the sea where he is picked up by some sailors, who in turn returns him to England.
Part III: A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdrib, Luggnagg and Japan
August 5, 1706 — April 16, 1710
After Gulliver's ship is attacked by pirates, he is marooned near a desolate rocky island, round the corner of India. Fortunately he is rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics but is utterly unable to use these for practical ends. Laputa's method of throwing rocks at rebellious surface cities also seems the first time that aerial bombardment was conceived as a method of warfare. While there, he tours the country as the guest of a low-ranking courtier and sees the ruin brought about by blind pursuit of science without practical results in a satire on the Royal Society and its experiments. While waiting for passage Gulliver takes a short side-trip to the island of Glubbdubdrib, where he visits a magician's dwelling and discusses history with the ghosts of historical figures. He also encounters the struldbrugs, unfortunately they are immortal, but are unable to remain forever young, instead forever old, complete with the infirmities of aging. Gulliver is then taken to Balnibarbi to await a Dutch trader who can take him on to Japan. While there, Gulliver asks the Emperor "to excuse my performing the ceremony imposed upon my countrymen of trampling upon the crucifix", which the Emperor grants. Gulliver returns home, determined to stay there for the rest of his life.
Part IIII: A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhmhms
September 7, 1710 – July 2, 1715
Despite his earlier intention of remaining at home, Gulliver returns to sea as the captain of a 35 ton merchant man as he is bored of his employment as a surgeon. On this voyage he is forced to find new additions to his crew who he believes to have turned the rest of the crew against him. His pirates then mutiny and after keeping him contained for some time resolve to leave him on the first piece of land they come across and continue on as pirates. He is abandoned in a landing boat and comes first upon a race of hideous deformed creatures to which he conceives a violent antipathy. Shortly thereafter he meets a horse and comes to understand that the horses are actually the rulers and the deformed creatures are human beings in their base form. Gulliver becomes a member of the horse's household, and comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle, rejecting humans as merely Yahoos endowed with some semblance of reason which they only use to exacerbate and add to the vices Nature gave them. However, an Assembly of the Houyhnhnms rules that Gulliver, a Yahoo with some semblance of reason, is a danger to their civilization and he is expelled. He is then rescued, against his will, by a Portuguese ship, and is surprised to see that Captain Pedro de Mendez, a Yahoo, is a wise, courteous and generous person. He returns to his home in England. However, he is unable to reconcile himself to living among Yahoos; he becomes a recluse, remaining in his house, largely avoiding his family and his wife, and spending several hours a day speaking with the horses in his stables.

Favourite Character
My favourite character would have to be Gulliver. From his voyages around the world, he sees different perspectives of lives. He is a giant among the miniature and puny inhabitants of Lilliput; a tiny creature as compared to the giant inhabitants of Brobdingnag; in Houyhnhnms where horses’ rule and have all the power while humans has the status as animals. One way or another, he is always finding himself in a sticky situation where he is in a tight spot and faces many difficulties. It may seem like a miracle but everytime he is somehow able to get back to his home country safely. After going through all those experiences, he feels that life in England seems ordinary.

Unique Selling point of the Book
This is another classic book that is worth your time as well as money. It really benefits you as you can get four awesome stories for the price of one book. In the different stories, Jonathan Swift has described how Gulliver experiences life from various points of views. He illustrates how Gulliver arrives at the different islands each with a welcome from the inhabitants and what he has to overcome when he is left to stay there for a time period. There is a very unique and something special about the way Jonathan depicts how Gulliver gets back to England safe and sound. I wish that I would be able to go through what Gulliver has for it would be an adventure like nothing that I have ever been through.

Book review of Around the world in 80 days

Book review
The story centers around an eccentric English gentleman and his French servant, Passepartout. The English gentleman, Mr. Phileas Fogg, enters into a wager betting half his fortune of 20000 pounds whereby he will circumnavigate the globe and return to his starting point exactly 80 days from the starting date. The wager was between Mr. Fogg and friends in the “Reform Club”, an organization of wealthy men. During this period of time, a robbery has taken place and he has stolen 55000 pounds. The description of the robber matches Mr. Fogg and a detective named Fix is trying to arrest him as soon as he gets the warrant. This voyage would not have been possible earlier than the 1870s as the innovations such as railroad travel and steam engines would have made this time frame impossible. Mr. Phileas Fogg was nothing if not methodical. He diligently planned the entire journey including rail time tables, financial budgeting as well as if time had been gained or lost.The travelers had many adventures along the way. The team had to deal with bank robberies and travel on the backs of elephants. In India, they combated savages that were about to sacrifice a woman named, Auoda. The travelers saved Auoda and escaped with their lives Mr. Fogg promises to take her to Hong Kong so that she could stay with her relative as it was no longer save for her to remain India. When they arrive in Hong Kong, Mr. Fogg finds out that Auoda’s cousin has moved to Europe, Holland. Meanwhile, still without a warrant, Fix sees Hong Kong as his last chance to arrest Fogg on British soil. He therefore confides in Passepartout, who does not believe a word and remains convinced that his master is not a bank robber. To prevent Passepartout from informing his master about the premature departure of their next vessel, Fix gets Passepartout drunk and drugs him in an opium den. In his dizziness, Passepartout still manages to catch the steamer to Yokohama, but neglects to inform Mr. Fogg that the steamer departures early. Mr. Fogg, on the next day, discovers that he has missed his connection. He goes in search of a vessel that will take him to Yokohama. He finds a pilot boat that takes him and Aouda to Shanghai, where they catch a steamer to Yokohama. In Yokohama, they go on a search for Passepartout, believing that he may have arrived there on the original boat. They find him in a circus, trying to earn the fare for his homeward journey. Reunited, the four board a steamer taking them across the Pacific to San Francisco. Fix promises Passepartout that now, having left British soil, he will no longer try to delay Mr. Fogg's journey, but rather support him in getting back to Britain as fast as possible but his actual motive was to have Mr. Fogg arrested there.In the United States, the adventures battled Native American Indians that attacked their train. Passepartout was captured by the Indians during the fight and Mr. Fogg was forced to delay his travels and give chase to the Indians with a troop of US cavalry at his side. The chase was successful in saving Passepartout, but resulted in Mr. Fogg losing valuable time in his journey. He was now likely to lose his wager. Even though Mr. Fogg and company were now significantly behind schedule, he was not going to give up. However, once on British soil again, Fix produces a warrant and arrests Mr. Fogg. A short time later, the misunderstanding is cleared up—the actual bank robber had been caught three days earlier in Edinburgh. In response to this, Mr. Fogg, in a rare moment of impulse, punches Fix, who immediately falls to the ground. However, Fogg has missed the train and returns to London five minutes late, assured that he has lost the wager. The next day, in his London house, Mr. Fogg apologizes to Auoda for bring her with him and now not being able to financially support her. Right at that moment, Auoda confesses to Mr, Fogg that she loves him and asks to marry her, which he gladly accepts. He calls for Passepartout to notify the reverend. At the reverend's, Passepartout learns that he is mistaken in the date, which he takes to be Sunday but which actually is Saturday due to the fact that the party travelled east, thereby gaining a full day on their journey around the globe. Passepartout hurries back to Fogg, who immediately sets off for the Reform Club, where he arrives a mere three seconds before the deadline to win the wager. In the end, Mr. Fogg marries Aouda and the journey around the world is complete.

Favourite Character
My favourite character of this book would have to be Phileas Fogg. On his journey around the world he faces many obstacles along the way, however his determination has led him to accomplish this in time. Whenever a problem arises, Phileas Fogg always thinks of an alternative to turn the situation around. He is a very brave and loyal friend, when Passepartout was captured by Native American Indians when they attacked their train, Phileas Fogg decided to give chase with a troop of US calvary by his side. This meant that Passepartout was more important to him even to the extend of delaying the journey. Even though the journey was delayed, he was able to maintain his composure and be positive towards things. In the end, it is his sheer determination as well as his positive attitude that led to him being able to travel around the world in 80 days.

Unique Selling Point of the Book
When I read the book, I fell asleep several times. But as I read even more, I was captured by all the events that have happened and how Phileas Fogg does everything within his means to overcome every difficulty that he faces. Jules Verne has illustrated this point very well, thus this book is able to captivate the readers attention. Although this is a classic and I understand that some of you will find it very boring to read, but in actual fact it is not a bit boring at all. This is one book that I will recommend you to read even if it is for leisure or even as an assignment that your teacher has given to you.

Book Review Of Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

Book Review
Percy has this nightmare where he sees Grover running away from something and he is extremely terrified of whatever that is chasing him. He meets a new friend named Tyson who was a homeless kid. During school, Percy is stuck playing dodgeball against large seventh graders who turn out to be Laistrygonians. They summon explosive fireballs and attempt to kill Percy, but he is protected by Tyson who surprisingly is unharmed by the monsters' fireballs. Annabeth arrives in the nick of time, saves Percy by stabbing the last Laistrygonian from behind and takes Percy and Tyson back to Camp Half-Blood. They find the camp under attack by bronze bulls because Thalia's tree, which protects the camp, has been poisoned by an unknown intruder. Only then does Percy realize that Tyson is not exactly human, but in actual fact a Cyclops. Chiron, the assistant director, has been fired because he is suspected of poisoning the tree, and is replaced by Tantalus, a spirit from the Fields of Punishment. During dinner time, Poseidon claims Tyson as his son and now Percy has a half-brother as well as a new cabin mate. Another night, Grover enters into Percy’s dreams and tells him to go to the Sea of Monsters to save him from an evil Cyclops named Polyphemus that has held him captive and to be his bride within the next few days . As Tantalus assumed that Percy, Annabeth and Tyson were troublemakers and had disrupted the chariot race, he punished them. During punishment, Percy and Annabeth discuss about ways to save Thalia’s tree and Camp Half Blood. They come up with a solution and that was to go retrieve the Golden Fleece that has been believed to have disappeared for centuries. They request for permission to go on the quest to find the Golden Fleece in order to save Thalia’s tree, which Tantalus does, sending Clarisse, daughter of the God of War, Ares as well as the winner of the chariot race. Hermes, the God of thieves pays Percy a visit and gives him gifts that will prove useful when they sneak off on the quest. Hermes hopes that Percy would not only save Grover but Luke as well when they embark on the quest of retrieving the Golden Fleece. Percy receives help from Poseidon, who gives them three Hippocampi, and together with Annabeth and Tyson, ends up on a passing cruise ship, the Princess Andromeda, which is revealed to be owned by Luke. They are captured and learn that Luke is trying to reform Kronos, a Titan who is the father of Zeus. They manage to escape and are later saved by Clarisse, who has a boat of her own that was given to her by her father Ares. It is destroyed upon entering the Sea of Monsters, known to mortals as the Bermuda Triangle. When the boat was destroyed, Tyson was nowhere to be found and Percy feels like he has failed in protecting Tyson. They reach the island of Polyphemus and save Grover with the help of Tyson and Clarisse, recovering the Fleece in the process. Apparently, Tyson was saved by the Hippocampi which he named Rainbow. They make their way to Florida, and Percy sends Clarisse, with the fleece, back to camp to save Thalia’s tree remembering that it was her quest, not his. Soon after Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Tyson are captured by Luke and his accomplices, the bear-twins, Argrius and Oreius. Percy manages to contact camp with an Iris-message, tricking Luke into admitting that he was the one who poisoned Thalia's tree. In a duel with Luke, Percy is nearly killed. He is saved by Chiron and his relatives, the Party Ponies. Chiron is rehired after being proven not guilty, reveals to Percy that he is unsure if Percy is the one that the Prophecy spoke of. When Percy is sixteen, he may be the hero the Prophecy spoke of that will decide the fate of Olympus. Later, Percy learns that Tyson has been praying to Poseidon for a friend as he does not want to be alone. Now, Poseidon wants Tyson to go to his underwater palace for the rest of the summer where he will learn to work at the Cyclopes’ forges. During the second chariot race, Tyson gives Percy a watch which turns out to be shield that he has made and together Percy, Annabeth and Tyson emerge victorious the second time around. That night, Annabeth was on guard duty and she could not believe the effects of the Fleece. The Golden Fleece proved to be even more magical and amazing as it is. Not only did it cure Thalia's tree of its poison, Thalia herself is even spewed out of the tree.

Favourite Character of the Book
My Favourite Character of this book would have to be Tyson, the cyclops. In the beginning, Tyson is depicted as a timid and yet fears almost everything. He is a very clumsy in whatever he does. During a dodgeball session, the seventh graders that Percy and his teamates are against turn out to be Laistrygonian that unleash explosive fireballs. At that moment in time, Tyson becomes courageous and protects Percy from the exploding fireball that approaches in his direction. Due to the fact that Tyson is a cyclops, he is immune to fire. When they arrive back at Camp Half-Blood, Tyson shows the other side of him, the side that is strong and brave by deafeating the bronze bull that was attacking camp. Along the way, he is claimed by Poseidon as his son and he is now Percy's half-brother. On the quest to rescue Grover from Polyphemus, the evil cyclops that has taken Grover captive as his bride and retrieve the Golden Fleece in order to save Thalia's tree, he has proven himself time and time again with the many events that have happened . Together with Percy, Annabeth and Clarrise, Tyson proves himself worthy of being a hero when they save Grover from the hands of Polyphemus.

Book Review of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Book Review
The hero, 12-year-old Percy Jackson, is far from your ordinary, everyday sixth-grader. He is unaware of the fact that he is a half blood, otherwise known as a demigod. He is a twelve year old boy diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, who has been expelled from several schools. After a trip to the Metropolitian Museum of Art where a Fury that disguises as their math teacher tried to attack Percy. Mr Brunner tosses a ballpoint pen to Percy that transformed into a bronze sword. Using the sword, Percy manages to defeat the fury. Now that it was summer, Percy goes on a trip with his mother, Sally to the beach in Montauk. In the middle of the night his friend Grover, who is revealed to be a satyr and Percy’s protector, comes. Grover urges Sally to take Percy to a certain camp for his own protection. As they drive towards camp, they are attacked by a menacing looking Minotaur which grabs Percy's mother by her throat. She dissolves into a golden shower of light, while Grover and Percy narrowly escape. Percy wakes up and discovers that he has arrived in Camp Half-Blood, a secretive training ground for demigods like himself. Thereafter, Percy is moved into the Hermes cabin under the care of Luke, the Cabin counselor until he is claimed by his father or mother in Olympus. During a Capture the Flag game, Percy is attacked by the children of Ares. He heals when he steps into the adjoining river and is revealed as the son of Poseidon when Poseidon's trident appears above his head. Poseidon had broken an oath taken with Hades and Zeus after World War II of not having any more children since their children were too powerful. Percy is then granted a quest to find Zeus's master bolt in order to prevent a war between the gods. Chiron believes Hades has stolen the master bolt in an attempt to create chaos in Mount Olympus. However, Zeus, who discovers that Poseidon had broken his oath, believes Poseidon had Percy steal the masterbolt. Percy, who has ten days before summer solstice to find the master bolt, is given magic shoes by Luke before leaving. Percy, accompanied by Annabeth and Grover, decide to travel west to reach the entrance to the Underworld in Los Angeles. They encounter several Greek monsters, even Medusa where she tried turning our heroes into statues. Percy uses Riptide and slashes off Medusa’s head. He then sends a package containing Medusa’s head to his father, Poseidon. Along the way, they meet the God of War, Ares, who tells Percy that his mother is alive. As they approach the pit of Tartarus, Luke’s shoes try to pull Grover into it, but he manages to slip free his hooves. Percy confronts Hades who also believes Percy stole the Master Bolt as well as his Helm of Darkness, which is an object that allows him to become a shadow. This lets him sneak up on his opponents. Percy realizes that Ares has tricked him when he discovers the bolt in his backpack. He flees from the Underworld, forced to leave his mother. Percy then challenges the god of war, Ares to a duel. Percy eventually emerges victorious defeating Ares by hurting his heel. Ares gives Percy the Helm of Darkness which Percy returns to Hades. Percy reaches New York City to give the master bolt to Zeus at the top of the Empire State Building where Olympus is now located. Zeus accepts the master bolt and is on his way to personally purify the thunderbolt. Thereafter Poseidon explains to Percy what had happened to Kronos and that he is very much alive still conscious in his eternal pain and still hungering for power. Percy has this feeling that Kronos is healing and that someday he will be back. Poseidon informs Percy that his mother has returned. Just as Percy was about to Olympus, Poseidon calls him and he could see that there was a fiery kind of pride in his eyes. He praises Percy that he has done well on his quest and that no matter what always remember that he was the true son of the Sea God. When Percy, Annabeth and Grover return alive to Half-Blood Hill after their quest, they were being treated like heroes. On the last Day of camp, he meets Luke who offers Percy some last-minute sword practice down in the woods. While in the woods, Luke reveals that he was the one that stole the master bolt for Kronos as well as Hades Helm of Darkness during the winter-solstice when they went to Olympus. He now serves Kronos as he has shown Luke that his talents are being wasted. He calls out a poisonous scorpion which stings and nearly kills Percy. Chiron cures him and Percy leaves Camp-Half-Blood as he believes that he will be able to survive till next summer. He then requests Argus to take him to cabin three so that he can pack his bags for home.

Favourite Character of the Book
My Favourite character of the book would have to be Luke Castellan, son of Hermes the god of thieves. This particular character catches my attention because in the beginning of the book, he is the camp counselor of the Hermes Cabin in Camp Half-Blood and he is the one that takes care of Percy while he is staying there. When Percy has been claimed by Poseidon and sent on a quest to retrieve the masterbolt, Luke gives Percy flying shoes as he believes that they will prove useful in his quest. Percy gives the shoes to Grover. However, when they were in the underworld, the flying shoes seemed to be pulling Grover into the pits of Tartarus. Grover has hooves instead of feet, therefore he was able to break free. They did not suspect a thing except that the shoes were defective. When the quest is over and it being the last day of camp,Luke who offers Percy some last-minute sword practice down in the woods. He now has a new sword called backbiter which is made of half celestial bronze and half steel which has the ability to kill mortals and demigods. Now this is where the twist of the story happens, while in the woods, Luke reveals that he was the one that stole the masterbolt for Kronos, the evil titan king, as well as Hades Helm of Darkness during the winter-solstice when they went to Olympus. He now serves Kronos as he has shown Luke that his talents are being wasted. He calls out a poisonous scorpion which stings and nearly kills Percy. Luke is a person where no one believed would have stolen the masterbolt and now serves Kronos. In the beginning, he acts as if he is Percy's ally but it turns out that he is a traitor.

Poem crated by me

Hi guys, due to home-learning I am to write a poem about my school days and the teachers there too. The poem is mostly about the teachers and important they are to me because if not for their teaching and guidance, I would not be here.( I hope you don't mind,Mrs Anu) I hope you all like it.

Ai Tong School has many excellent teachers,
Inspiring our lives every single day,
Thoughtful and kind-hearted they are,
Oi ! Is not what we should call them!!!
Never be rude or show signs of defiance,
Goss or disgusting...

Though not all are kind,
Every teacher is special and one of a kind.
And using unique teaching techniques,
Caring for all their pupils,
Helping them with their studies,
Espicially weaker pupils.
Ransack school bags sometimes,
So as to catch "theives"

And catch pupils who did
Not do their work and say "forget"
Dull and gloomy some may be...

Primary school teachers are like that...
Understand they have difficulties with
Problematic pupils who often
Irritate friends or pull girls with
Long hair and see them cry.
School teachers are so noble!

Analysis on the poem The Son is in Secondary School by Affian Sa’at

In my opinion, the author is expressing his feelings and the fond memories of the good old days that he spent in school. He feels that every moment of his time spent in school is special and yet memorable. He believes that his school badge singnifies hope in the future. Some times, black crows would come and disrupt when they sing the National Anthem. He finds it difficult to keep his shoes normal whiteness on Wednesday, maybe he has physical education on that day. There is something unique about the way the bare thighs of the scouts look due to their hardworking attitude and active participation in events. Malay chauffeurs sit by the kerbs telling jokes to each other while waiting for the author's classmates. He finds certain areas of math rather unreasonable. During the festive season of Chinese New Year, a teacher from the author's school named Mrs Lee would dress in a Sarong Kebaya and instead of singing the traditional Chinese New Year songs, she would go around seeing Bengawan Solo. The author feels that his friend did a very brave thing. It refers to the shading all A's for his chinese multiple-choice paper.(I bet he did not revise one bit and did that out of desperation) In the annual yearbook, there is a picture of the author smiling and pushing a wheelchair. The hilarious thing is that the photographer took the picture while the author closed his eyes.

Lamborghini on fire

First it was a Ferrari, now even a Lamborghini is on fire. A black Lamborghini caught fire along Holland Road on Friday, a week after a Ferrari that blazed up in flames made the headlines. Luckily no one was injured in the accident. If not for a passer-by that used a fire extinguisher which he had just bought and kept in his car. The driver of the lamborghini was a 30-year-old man who had a female passenger with him. You may be wondering why the car caught fire. So let me list a few reasons.
1:A motor vehicle contains many types of flammable materials, including flammable liquids like gasoline and oil as well as solid combustibles such as upholstery. Fuel leaks from ruptured fuel
lines also can rapidly ignite.Vehicles house multiple potential sources of ignition including electrical devices that may short circuits, hot exhaust systems, and modern car devices such as air bag detonators.
2:Also, car batteries pose a fairly unique hazard in themselves: hydrogen gas evolved in the electrolysis reaction ignites readily in fire conditions and can result in an explosive dispersion of battery acid.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder

Sorry for not updating my blog for some time, the reason being I have test the past few weeks.I sincerely apologize.When I was searching for information on Lamborghini Spyder, it turns out that there are two types of Lamborghini Spyder. The lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and the Lamborghini Murcielago Spyder. In this post, I will be featuring about the majestic Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. I wil post about the Lamborghini Murcielago Spyder in the next post when I have some free time. This new model of the Gallardo is capable of achieving a horsepower of 8,000 rpm and 398 ft-lbs of torque at 6,500 rpm via a 5.2-liter V10 engine.The Spyder is capable of hitting 62 mph in an amazing span of four seconds. The sprint to twice that speed -- 124 mph -- takes just 13.1 seconds.The Lamborghini Gallardo is the best selling Lamborghini of all time, and the new LP 560-4 Spyder looks fit to continue the tradition. The 560 portion of the car's name reflects its horsepower, while the "4" designation indicates all-wheel-drive. The "4" was likely added to the name in anticipation of the forthcoming rear-wheel-drive variant, which will likely end in "2."The latest engine not only gained power and displacement, it also features a new "Iniezione Diretta Stratificata" direct injection system. Despite its clearly increased output, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by a staggering 18 percent. With the improved fuel efficiency the LP 560-4 is capable of 12/20 city/highway mpg. The redesigned four-wheel-drive system, an improved suspension design, and optimized aerodynamics all contribute an improved driving experience. A weight reduction of 44 lbs and decreased friction between the components also enhance performance. Given the statistics, the Lamborghini Gallardo has been proven to be the best selling lamborghini car up to date. The new modifications made to the Lamborghini Gallardo turning it into the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder is bound to improve the name of Lamborghini and increase its reputation. I am sure without a doubt that this model will sell like hot cakes in the market. I think I have just found a new favourite Lamborghini car.

Lamborghini Reventon Roadster

Since I had nothing to do today,I decided to do post on the Lamborghini Reventon. I know its a little earlier then I mentioned in the previous post. but here it is. Two years ago, Lamborghini wowed Frankfurters with its limited-edition, stealth-fighter-inspired, $1.4 million Reventón coupe. Only 20 were built for public consumption; nine came to the U.S. And although we can’t say we saw its equally stealth follow-up coming Lamborghini has chosen the 2009 Frankfurt auto show to unveil the even rarer and more expensive topless version of the Reventón. Of course, when we say even rarer, we can’t quantify by how much, because Lambo hints that “less than 20” will be built, although it also confusingly adds that 20 is a nice, round number.
Like the Murciélago-based Reventón coupe, the roadster swaps all body panels for different segments of wing and tail sections of retired F-117s. We kid, but it sure looks that way, with its aggressive, forward-thrusted air intakes up front, hungry-looking scoops on the side, and pancake-flat rear flanks featuring four spiney glass louvers offering a sweet view of the Reventón’s raucous V-12 heart. The Reventón roadster’s top is identical to the one found on the Murciélago roadster. I thought the Lamborghini Reventon was cool, but this is way beyond what I have expected. I am definately sure that Lamborghini has pushed themselves to the limits and have gone up to the next level in car production.

Lamborghini Reventon

As this is the 15th post, I will be posting about the Lamborghini Reventon which is my personal favourite Lamborghini among them all.The Lamborghini Reventón is a mid-engiened sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. It ranks as one of the most powerful and expensive lamborghini road cars to date, costing one million euros(US$1.5 million, or £858,000).The official press release stated that only 20 vehicles would be released to the public, with one additional car (marked as 0/20) produced for the Lamborghini Museum. Although early rumours indicated the total number would actually be 100, each Reventón is clearly stamped with its number in the sequence of 20 between the driver's and passenger's seats.
Despite the exterior being new, almost all the mechanical elements (including the engine) are sourced directly from the Murciélago LP640. According to the official press release, the Reventón exterior styling was inspired by the "the fastest airplanes". To emphasize this, Lamborghini staged a race between a Reventón and a Panavia Tornado fighter plane. I find that the Lamborghini Reventon being one of the most powerful lamborghini on the road till today is a fact that cannot be denied. To me, the Lamborghini Reventon is one of the coolest and slickest cars seen on the roads till date. How I wish that I could own a car as magnificent, spectacular and yet amazing as the Lamborghini Reventon. The Lamorghini Reventon is certainly and without a doubt my dream car. Another thing that i would like to add is that I would not be posting the picture of the Lamborghini Reventon as it the very first thing that you would see the minute you visit this blog. Watch out for the next post on the Lamborghini Reventon Roadster which I will post sometime next week.=)

interpersonal(people smart)

Kenneth:May I have your opinions about crime and punishment?
Mum:Commiting a crime is a serious offence.From my point of view,whoever that commits a crime should think of the consequences of his actions before making any drastic move that may allow him/her to regret for his/her entire life.Punishment should be dealt to the murderer or criminal fairly.This way it allows the criminal or murderer to do some thinking and soul-searching about what he/she has done.The only way a murderer can atone his/her sin in which he has done is by exchanging his/her own life for the life which he/she has destroyed.only through this can justice prevail and order and peace can be maintained.
Kenneth:What are some necessitties that you must have in order to be able to communicate in a relationship?
Mum:I personally feel that trust is the most important thing in a relationship.Trust must be present in a relationship in order to be able to communicate.If trust is not present, couples will start to quarell about trival matters or else the entire relationship would be broken.Therefore, trust is an important part in a relationship.
Kenneth:Thank you for your personal opinons and sorry if i have caused any inconvinience and to have taken up your precious time.

Lamborghini Gallardo

The Lamborghini Gallardo is a sports car built by Lamborghini. The Gallardo is Lamborghini's most-produced model to date, with over 5000 built in its first three years of production. Each car costs about $180,000 to $210,000. The car is named after a famous breed of fighting bull. The spanish word gallardo translates into "gallant," and from Italian into "striking".
The Gallardo offers two choices of transmissions, a conventional (H-Box) six-speed manual transmission, and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled semi-automatic robotized manual, which Lamborghini abbreviates to "E-gear". The "E-gear" allows the driver to make shifts much faster than a manual transmission would. The driver shifts up and down via paddles behind the steering wheel, and does not and cannot manually actuate the clutch.
For the MY2006 (launched in late 2005) Lamborghini introduced many changes to the car to counter some criticisms garnered by the press and owners. These were derived from the limited edition Gallardo SE. The exhaust system was changed to a more sporty one (including a flap to make it quieter around town), the suspension was revised and a new steering rack was fitted, the engine power was increased by 20 bhp to a maximum of 512 brake horsepower (382 kW), the biggest change was an overall lowering of the gearing especially in 1st to 5th. The result was a much improved car, it handled and turned in better, sounded better under full throttle and the extra power and lower gearing turned an already fast car into a seriously quick one.
The Audi R8 sports car, launched in early 2007, is based on the Gallardo platform, and uses a 4.2 litre V8 in place of the Gallardo's V10 to avoid competing directly with the Gallardo. In December 2008, Audi unveiled a V10 Audi R8, with a detuned version of the Gallardo's, placed between the R8 V8 and the Gallardo.For the 2008 model year, features added to the Gallardo included an onboard computer, iPod connectivity with USB, heated mirrors, Q-citura stitching that originally could only be found on the Nera model, and a beige soft-top on the Spyder.I feel that the Gallardo is a very slick car.I even saw one zoom past my school while waiting for the bus to take me home.I could not believe that I saw a Lamborghini Gallardo right before my very eyes.I thought that I was dreaming or something.I feel that it is as gallent and striking as its name has said it is.

Cross country

On wednesday,24th of febuary,my school held our annual cross country.My school didn't hold this event last year due to the H1n1 pandemic and is not sure if it will be held next year due to the construction of the new MRT station.All the secondary ones in my school had to run a distance of 3km.As my stamina is rather low and I get tired easily, I thought that I would never be able to finish the run.The teachers were encouraging us along the way not to give up.Maybe that was what motivated me to continue running. In the end, I was persistent and had the determination to finish the run no matter what.In the end, I was able to overcome this challenge.To my disbelief, I was not one of the last few in the secondary one cahort.I was very proud of myself and i had felt a sense of achievement.In the competitive run,the six competitive runners from my class came in overall 2nd.After the anouncement, my entire class rejoyced as the six competitive runners from my class went to get their medals.The feeling you get is one like no other when you achieve something with your own capibillities.To my surprise,even the teachers were running in the cross country alongside us.I feel that this cross country was truly a successful one and I am really looking forward to next year's run.

The similarities and differences between Lamb to the slaughter and The way up to heaven

Sadly again, I have been given another LA assignment to do and must blog about it in order to get ACE points.So please bear with me and I will be putting up a new post some time today.In addition, please give me more comments so that I will get more ACE points or else i would not be able to fulfil the requirements.
The two stories that I will blogging about today is Lamb to the slaughter and The way up to heaven which are both written by the famous Roald Dahl(favourite author of many people when they were still young)
The similarities are that in the end both husbands die.The similarities of the two stories is that both have the same theme which is lying and deception. Both is about the wife killing their husband whether directly or indirectly. I will start with a brief introduction to Lamb to the slaughter.
Mary Maloney is the wife of Patrick Maloney.Mary Maloney is a good housekeeper and keeps the house very clean.She always does as per what her husband askes her to do what and she is willing to do anything to please him.Patrick Maloney is probably caring and takes his wife out every Thursday. He is probably treating Mary well as Mary is deeply in love with him and enjoys the quiet moments in which they share together the most.She feels that her life is very contented and very peaceful. His wife, Mary is totally in love with her husband and he awaits his return from work every evening .She prepares whisky for her husband to drink when he came home. When he returned, Mary enjoyed his company and the presence of him feel almost like a sunbather feels the Sun. When Patrick told Mary that he wanted to leave her probably for another woman , she could not believe it and she was angered by her husband's decision and made a drastic move to the extent of using a leg of lamb to murder him.She uses the same amount of care and planing to carry out the murder as she used to take care of the house. She did not even feel regretful or guilty at all for the drastic move in which she had made. She was completely emotionless after what she has done.Based on her outer appearence and actions, she seems like the kind of woman that will be easily contented as long as er husband treats her well.But under all that layers of skin, she is actually someone who is rather emotionless and scheming.I believe that she need not go to the extent of killing Patrick Maloney as in the process she has made their child fartherless and the child will be very sad when he/she finds out that his/her own mother murdered someone.That is why as the saying goes"Never judge a book by its cover".
The brief summary of Way up to heaven is about two people, Mr and Mrs Foster. The live in a old gloomy house in New York and had few visitors. Mrs Foster is a person who dreads being late,gets nervous at the thought of being late and will be unable to sit down and keep still.she will start to flutter and fidget from room to room.Mr Foster likes to irritate Mrs Foster by trying to delay her from going to somewhere as much as possible and by keeping her waiting, he seems to enjoy how anxious she gets when she is nervous.One January morning, Mrs Foster was going to France to visit her daughter and grand children. Mr Foster took his own sweet time to come out of the house and tried all sorts of methods and ways to delay Mrs Foster. When they were in the car, Mr Foster suddenly said that he could not find a present for his daughter and went into the house again to find it. Mrs Foster then notices the present was tucked down the side of the car seat.
She then decided to go into the house to inform Mr Foster but when she went in, she heard the noise of the lift not working and was now stuck in betwwen the two floors. Upon hearing that , she stops and closed the door. In the end,she manages to catch the plane and went to France to visit her daughter to spend some quality time with her daughter and grandchildren without a care in the world.It was as if she was like a bird that had been trapped in a cage for ages and finally set free.
Six weeks later, she returns to her house only to find that something smelled a little funny. She walked swiftly around the house appearing to be investigating something and then confirmed it. Obviously, she knew that her husband had died in the lift as he was being trapped in the lift six weeks ago and the strange smell must have came from his body in which was most probably rotting or decomposing.From my point of view,I think she seems rather happy as the death of her husband has stopped all the delaying which her husband does and(I think) she will bacome less paranoid.
The difference about the story is that Mary Maloney was only tortured by her husband for a few minutes before she killing him with a leg of lamb while Mrs Foster allowed her husband suffer the torture and misery that he had experienced while he was being trapped in the lift for six weeks.
In my opinion, I think that Mrs Foster's case of murdering her husband was more cruel in a way that her husband died a little by little, and will feel that his strenght is ebbing away with every passing second in which he is trapped in the lift. While in Mary Maloney's case, she kill him in less than a few seconds. This means that Mr Foster was left trapped in the lift for at least a few days in the lift without food and water and eventually died due to the lack of things which humans require in order to survive.
The similarity on the theme, lying and deception means that Mr Foster lied about the fact that he did not bring the present for his daughter and in Lamb to the slaughter, the part on deception is that the character of Patrick Maloney.Mary Maloney and Mrs Foster changed from the beginning to the end of the story.These are two woman which I would never want to meet cause my life would gone in a matter of minutes.

Trip to the Singapore Discovery Centre

Sadly I have to blog about my trip to the Singapore Discovery Centre for Total Defence Day in order to get ACE points.I wonder why my teacher can't just accept a report that has been written on a piece of paper.Okay,moving on.We learnt about the past and the present of Singapore at the SDC.We also learnt about the five defences.Social defence,Economical defence,Civil defence,psychological defence and Millitary defence.I thoght that learning about these five defences and what they mean is very meaningful.We also had to fill in an Emergency Preparedness Gamecard.It was fun filling in the Gamecard as the answers to the questions were everywhere.In the end, I managed to solve the Gamecard without having any difficulty.Through this experience, I have gained valuable knowledge on the five defences and at the same time what we should do when facing a crisis.

comparision between lamb to the slaughter, love and male child

I know i told you'll that I'll post on lamborghini's but this is an LA blog so no choice must do as what the teacher ask.I prefer lamb to the slaughter to the two other stories as the climax when Mary Maloney kills her own husband with a lamb leg because he is leaving her for someone else is very exciting.Mary Maloney becomes a totally different person, one that is scheming and deceptive.This sudden turn of events jolts readers like myself to want to read on and find out what happens in the end.This story provides a twist that no one would have imagined.Neither would anyone have thought that the caring and pleasing Mary Maloney would make such a drastic move as to killing her own husband out of anger.She is indeed a wolf that is hiding under sheep's skin.

Lamborghini 6.0 VT and 6.0 VT Roadster

After Audi AG took over Lamborghini from its former South East Asian owners in 1998, Mycom and VPower, they set out to modernize and refine the Diablo, while its replacement, the murcielago was developed. Audi tasked Luc Donckerwolcke with designing a more refined, more civilized, and more modern Diablo. The 6.0 VT was the result of that design. It featured heavy styling changes both inside and out; the front bumper now featured 2 large air intakes and the nose was flattened. It sat on large 18 inch monoblock alloy wheels reminiscent of the 5 hole dial wheels of the Countach. Significant changes were made to the interior too, the drivers seat was moved in line with the pedals, and climate control air conditioning was standard. There was a much larger use of carbon fibre too, to the point that only the roof and doors were metal. (alloy and steel respectively) Magnesium was used for the wheels, cylinder heads and inlet manifolds, and the con-rods were made from titanium. The centre console was one large piece of carbon fibre.The 6.0 VT featured the new 6.0 litre V12, based on the motor that powered the Diablo GT (which in itself was essentially a modified version of the 5.7) The motor had updated ECU software in addition to new intake and exhaust systems and a refined variable valve timing system with slightly less aggressive camshafts than had been used in the earlier versions. With a power output of 550 BHP directly from the factory, the Diablo VT 6.0 was again to be considered a major competitor in the super car league, and Automobili Lamborghini SpA focused all their resources on this final Diablo model and the successor, all other models in the range were halted, no more Roadster or SV models were offered. The 6.0 VT had higher comfort levels, came with air conditioning as standard, the seats were much improved and the interior draped in glistening carbon fibre. The build quality was superior to any previous Diablo model. These improvements would make the 6.0 VT the most practical of all the Diablos.As a final hurrah to the Diablo, they made one last final edition of the Diablo called 6.0 VT SE, which was available in either gold or bronze, symbolizing sunrise and sunset. A gold Diablo 6.0 VT SE is in the Lamborghini museum in Bologna.I don't really have anything much to say about this car except that with all these features, this two cars are bound to be two of the most excellent cars on the road.

lamborghini GT and GTR

The Lamborghini Diablo GT (Gran Turismo) is a high-performance sportscar built by Italian automaker Lamborghini in 1999.The Diablo GT was only and officially sold in Europe. Eighty models were built.The Diablo GT's price is estimate at $300,000.It's such a shame that the Diablo GT is only sold in Europe.I feel that they should sell all models of the lamborghini in every country and not restrict certain models to a particAfter campaigning the Diablo SV-R for four years in the Diablo Supertrophy Lamborghini launched a completely new car for the 2000 season. This Diablo GTR is a modified version of the GT. In comparison with the Diablo GT, the GTR's most important features are a modified chassis frame with integrated roll bar, improved suspensions, central fixing nut for the rims, race braking system, additional radiators for transmission oil cooling, very high performance rear wing (directly bolted to the chassis), simplified interiors and weight reduction. The engine is basically the same V12, 6 litre, of the Diablo GT which thanks to the adoption of a specially tuned exhaust system, without catalyser, delivers 590 hp (440 kW; 600 PS) (575 in the GT model).The engine management system is based on the proprietary Lamborghini LIE electronic engine control system tuned for racing. Fuel injection is sequential multipoint and ignition is static with individual coils. Lamborghini Data Acquisition System, LDAS, and diagnostic functions are integrated in the engine electronic management system.For the engine cooling, two water radiators in parallel are side mounted to the engine and an engine oil cooler is front mounted as in the Diablo GT. Additional coolers for gearbox and differential oil are installed in order to better match the racing overloads.
Instead of the Diablo GT's 6-speed, the transmission is on the rear wheels through a Lamborghini 5-speed gearbox with one basic gear ratio option and an alternative option for a shorter 5th gear ratio. The gear box lever is in an asymmetric position on the central tunnel in order to be closer to the steering wheel, for better control. The steering system is power assisted.The tubular chassis frame integrates the roll bar and is directly connected to the rear wing. The front suspension is modified for racing. Shock absorbers and anti-roll bars are adjustable. The rims are lightweight magnesium alloy with central fixing nut and they accept racing type tyres. A special racing fuel tank with fast filling system has been installed. The braking system is based on the Diablo GT high performance module. New racing brake calipers have been adopted to better match the very severe racing conditions.Most of the body is carbon fibre made, except for the roof, which is made of steel for torsional rigidity, while the doors are made of aluminium, for safety reasons.The cockpit fittings are simplified to meet racing requirements. The driver seat has been moved towards the longitudinal axle of the car, reducing the size of the central tunnel, to ensure a better driving position. Racing switches for ignition and for other functions have been adopted instead of the series push buttons. The fire extinguisher system is installed on the right side of the cockpit with activating switch on the tunnel. The driver's seat is of racing type with a six-point safety belt and the steering wheel is also racing type.A production run of 30 cars was planned at the launch of the car at the 1999 Bologna Motorshow, but at the end of the run 40 cars were built.ular country.I like the way they think and work planning to produce 30 of them but in the end 40.They must be thinking that the Diablo GT-R is going to be a huge success and a big hit to the lamborghini lovers all over planet Earth.

Lamborghini diablo VT and VT Roadster

The second version of the VT coupé and roadster added mostly cosmetic and styling changes. The cars now featured the SV's exposed headlamps (borrowed from the Nissan 300ZX 1990-96,
and used under license), new wheels and a newly redesigned dashboard. On the mechanical side, larger brakes, the addition of ABS brakes and a new variable valve timing system on the
5.7-litre V12 were the only mechanical updates. Power output increased to 529 hp (394 kW; 536 PS). The standard 0-100 km/h time was 3.8 seconds, but it could be launched in 3.6 seconds by revving to 6000 rpm and sidestepping the clutch. Despite the money Lamborghini had spent making the updates, the "Version 2" VTs were discontinued after only one year of production.I feel that the Diablo VT and VT roadster are two very unique and yet special cars of certain qualities.There is just one thing that i don't understand, why did Lamborghini stop the production of the "Version 2" VTs. I am really hoping beyond hope that Lamborghini will continue the production of the "Version 2 " VTs and nothing of this sort will ever happen again to any model of the Lamborghinis.

Different kinds of lamborghini Diablo's

The different kinds of Lamborghini Diablo's are the SV,SVR,
VT, VT-R(VT-Roadster),GT,GTR,6.0 VT and 6.0VT SE.
There, these are the different kinds of Lamborghini Diablo,
as requested by Phoenix, I will be posting about all the different
types of Lamborghini Diablo's some time next week so stay
tuned for more pictures and information on the Diablo"s and one
more thing I would like to say thanks to all those who have
commented on my blog especially Phoenix.

Lamborghini Estoque

The Lamborghini Estoque (Spanish pronunciation: es’toke) is a concept car built by Lamborghini. Unlike current production Lamborghini cars, which are mid-engine two-seat
sports cars, the Estoque is a four-door sedan.The Estoque was introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor show. The Estoque is the first front-engine vehicle by Lamborghini since the utility vehicle. Despite being classed as a concept car, the Estoque is being seriously considered for production. It is described as a "concept for a $230,000 four-door sedan". It currently houses a 5.2 litre V10 engine, although there has been speculation that this could be replaced by a V12, V8, or possibly even a hybrid or turbo-diesel engine (as suggested by Lamborghini's Brand Director, Manfred Fitzgerald). As with other Lamborghinis, the Estoque derives its name from Spanish style bullfighting. An estoque is a type of sword traditionally used by matardors. It was reported on 22 March 2009 that Lamborghini had cancelled its production plans for the Estoque, citing poor economic conditions and the competition posed by related vehicles. However, it was further reported on 23 March 2009 that the Estoque had not reached the production planning stage and that the decision whether to produce the Estoque or not has been delayed, but was still being considered. However, it should be noted that the Estoque has recently been spotted in a video concerning the Valentino Balboni Gallardo. it can been seen briefly in the background of two shots. Reasons why i like the Estoque, number 1, it is the first front engine vehicle.Second, it is a lamborghini with four doors.Lastly, the Estoque's name is derived from a sword which is a preety awesome yet interesting way to name a lamborghini such as this.

lamborghini murcielago

Here's the review of the lamborghini murcielago.
The Lamborghini Murciélago is a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini. It is often referred to as a supercar and is Lamborghini's flagship and the halo car of the automaker's lineup The Murciélago is a high-performance two-door, two-seat coupe, powered by an evolution of the Lamborghini V-12 engine. A roadster version of the car was introduced in 2004. The Murciélago was introduced in 2001 for the 2002 model year as the successor to the famed Diablo supercar, and was the automaker's first new design in eleven years, as well as the first under the ownership of German automaker Audi. The Murciélago was styled by Peruvian-born Belgian Luc Donckerwolke, Lamborghini's head of design from 1998 to 2005.Now i will talk about my personal view and comments about the Lamborghini Murcielago.Firstly, it looks way cooler than the Diablo(no offence Phoenix),secondly, it is one of the fastest among all the Lamborghinis to be ever created and lastly I wish I could own such a magnificent and awesome car like this.

lamborghini diablo

Here's as promised, information on the lamborghinis
The Lamborghini Diablo was a high-performance mid-engined sports car built by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 1990 and 2001. It was the first Lamborghini capable of attaining a top speed in excess of 200 miles per hour (320 km/h). After the end of its production run in 2001, the Diablo was replaced by the Lamborgini Murcielago.I have no clue why Phoenix likes the diablo so much that she wants me to do a further post on the Diablo so i will sometime later.Now i am going to tell you why i like the Diablo, firstly it was one of the very first Lamborghini to be ever created, secondly it is like the Lamborghini with the richest history
(I think) and lastly it looks like the most popular car of its time.One more thing that i would like to add, I like it as it is a very special car and there are many different kinds of Diablos and each one has its own characteristics.It is this very point which i lke about it and brings out the best in the car.

introduction

Here's my blog for LA class

My name is Kenneth from Hwa Chong Instituition.I think cars are
