“A friend of mine went over this new liner last week - the Titanic - she sails next week - forty-six thousand eight hundred tons - forty-six thousand eight hundred tons - New York in five days - and every luxury - and unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable.”
This shows dramatic irony considering that people in that date including Mr.Birling's family thinked that the ship was unsinkable and they thought it was the perfect and finest ship of all times because all of the luxury it had and all the money they invested in the ship. ‘a friend of mine’ adding that, Mr.Birling is showing to the younger generation (Eric and Gerald) that he has high class friends that have money to get a ticket to the newest attraction, he wants to show his popularity. “Let’s
The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most infamous shipwrecks in history in 1912. The Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg, killing over 1,500 passengers and crew. There were many passengers and crew who died from the sinking of the Titanic because there were not enough lifeboats provided for them. The problem about Titanic survival is how can we make a better prediction rate for the sort of the passengers that were likely to survive?
Mr Birling is crushed at the thought of losing a business partner, and tries to prevent the break-up. Gerald leaves the
Priestley describes Mr Birling as a "portentous man". We can soon see that this reveals itself as throughout the duration of the play his character is constructed as arrogant and foolish. Even if Mr Birlings’ actions proved incorrect it wouldn't concern him or be any of his responsibility unless it affected his upper-class status. Mr Birling is represented as a strong believer in the capitalist ideology; he discriminates and mistreats the working class, thinking that the upper-class businessmen are superior. “We were paying the usual rates and if they didn't like those rates, they could go and work somewhere else. It's a free country, I told them,” Birling confidently delivered this line, knowing that later they
The book of Daniel is known for its prophecies that span the centuries and show amazing accuracy. In this article, we see the biographical chapters also have an application to "latter days" and end-times. The obvious is Obamacare from Daniel 1, but all of the first five chapters can fit what's been happening under Obama.
The Titanic was one of the largest ships that has ever been made. On its first voyage, the Titanic quickly ceased after encountering an iceberg. In the poem, “Titanic”, David R. Slavitt gives a brief description of the Titanic and how the world has remembered the legend. In a different poem, “The Convergence of the Twain”, Thomas Hardy illustrates the impact an Immanent Will had on the crashing of the Titanic. Both, Slavitt and Hardy challenge the views that people have on the legend of the Titanic by applying tone as well as creating a duality of expectations and reality.
The Wrong Version of “Titanic” David K. Slavitt’s poem “ Titanic” explains the way most of the people look at the tragic event occurred in April 14, 1912. The poem uses a lot of sarcasm to portray its message describing how people would’ve bought the tickets for the ship even if they would’ve known that it was going to sink. With this poem, Slavitt’s work not only focuses on the sinking of the Titanic, but also on the impact it had on people and makes the reader think about the way most of the people look at the event based on movies and stories, which don’t show things as they happened.
INTRO: The Titanic will always be remembered as the most famous and important shipwreck in history. You’ve learned about the building, voyage, and sinking of the Titanic, but now I will tell you why the Titanic leaves a legacy like no other disaster.
The sinking of the Titanic has become one of the most well-known disasters in history, because of the terrible loss of life and the demise of what everyone believed was an "unsinkable" ship. As is evident from reading this report the use of substandard rivets was the main cause of the failure of the Titanic. By substandard we mean that the type of rivets used was incorrect as well as the location of these rivets.
Interpersonal communication plays a major role in everyone’s daily life. Because it is so important, theorists have developed two views about how to determine whether a transaction is interpersonal or not. We will be looking at the situational and the developmental view by applying it to a scene from a movie in order to determine which one is a better indicator. The particular scene that will be discussed is a scene from James Cameron’s Titanic. The scene takes place the day after Jack sees Rose hanging off the edge of the ship while she debates whether she should jump or not. Jack convinces her not to jump, and she agrees. But, her foot slips and Jack saves
puts a story on the screen and into life so that people can see it.
Titanic portrayed sexuality with attraction between a man and a woman. Rose was a beautiful woman whom her fiancée Hockley was the son of a rich and powerful steel mill owner. However, the sexual interest here was actually in the form of business. Rose was marrying him because of the money Hockley would inherit when his father died, a very prominent practice during that time. Men with power and money were shown to be desirable from all of Rose 's companions on the ship. This common theme of sexuality was broken from Jack 's introduction into Rose 's life. Jack was a polar opposite of Hockley, and he took on a different theme of sexuality of being free, seeing a woman as an equal, and not being rich. Jack ' sexuality was expressed in may forms different from Hockley. When he saved Rose from falling overboard, in his folk-style dancing with Rose, and in his chase of Rose which included kissing and having sex with her. Jack’s simple flirtation with Rose and his later aid in her freedom from the gender binds she was in became the cornerstone of the theme of the movie.

Forty million people worldwide are infected with the HIV virus. About six percent of them will not inform their intimate partners about their health condition. Many efforts that have been made over the past decade towards establishing a HIV/AIDS law, have finally paid off. The act of disclosing the virus was written in 1990. It caused quite a stir among the citizens of the United States. Many people concluded that there were holes in the disclosure law concerning HIV/AIDS because it lacked complete thought. Some felt that if HIV positive people had to tell others about their condition, they would be more susceptible to discrimination and rejection. Essentially, it was a law that ended a few problems and then led to a massive
On April 14,1912 a great ship called the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. That night there were many warnings of icebergs from other ships. There seems to be a conflict on whether or not the warnings reached the bridge. We may never know the answer to this question. The greatest tragedy of all may be that there were not
In the piece Going down with the ship; 100 years after the Titanic 100 another disaster begs the question? Have the courtiers of the sea vanished?
