Personal Narrative : The Titanic

Most people thought that the Titanic was unsinkable, but they couldn’t have been any further from the truth. The Titanic’s maiden voyage in the early 1900s was cut short due to a collision with an iceberg. The Titanic was a tragic event that helped change sailing for years to come because of the massive casualties and the sinking of an unsinkable ship.

Transition: Now that I have discussed the titanic itself, let’s take a look at the tragedy that struck it on its’ maiden voyage.

The days were spectacular, always sunny the deck was very fun to walk around and the meals were good as well. I was traveling third class with my eldest sister Mae she was 21 years old I was 15. Our Mother had bought us tickets to ride on the Titanic to America for a better life and enough time for us to start over. Our Mother gave us most of her life savings and leaving her was one of the hardest things me and my sister have ever had to do, we knew it would be the last time we ever saw her. I will never forget her last words to us “I love you both so much I want you to remember that your mother did everything she could to give you guys a good life. You will be in my thoughts everyday I can’t wait until you guys succeed in the ways I know you can.” After that she sent us onto the boat Mae and I couldn’t help but tear up a bit until we realized that she had every intention for us to be happy, so we decided we’d enjoy the

I snapped back into reality and opened my door. I stepped out into the narrow hallway, and I rested my hand on the door knob. The door was almost closed when I had a sudden urge to sneak one last glance at my room. Not being able to let go of my room, I cracked the door open again. My eyes rested on the skeleton of the room, and I gently closed the door.

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.

Studies have shown that dual language students perform higher than any other group of students; however, I personally, do not feel that way. I came from the Spanish immersion program. The program has always made learning the rules of English difficult to comprehend and remember. Despite that, my love for reading and writing in English has never been deterred. As a child, my favorite book was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett. It was primarily my favorite because it was the first book I read be myself. That book also opened my mind to a broader world of thinking and creativity at the tender age of 4. I mean who knew that orange juice could fall from the sky, and giant pancakes could immobilized cities? I certainly could not

They day was finally here! The day I would go on the greatest ship in the world. The Titanic. My mother and I were going to America to try and start a new life. My father died from cancer a year ago, so we wanted a new start. Even though we were third class, I still was really grateful we had this opportunity to go on the Titanic. There were 840 rooms in the ship and 2,240 passengers (“Encyclopedia-Titanica”). “Come on Mom! We can’t be late,” I exclaimed, more excited than ever.

We left home two day later arrived the next day. It was an exhausting car ride of almost a day, but we still ventured around sightseeing the city. We drove down the long smooth highway with the windows down and the hot sun shining, we

I am coming to you over 100 years ahead in time, and I have come to tell you that the Titanic cruise ship you are about to aboard is very much unsafe. The author that posted this information is Vicki Bassett. The purpose of my letter is to inform your family of the design flaws of the Titanic so you don’t die. I have seen the death toll, about 1500 people died on the Titanic the night of the disaster. Only 700 survive, and your family is not a part of that. The hull steel, failed rivets, and there were also flaws in the watertight compartments of the Titanic. The Titanic suffered from several detrimental flaws right before it had even set sail! You should completely eliminate the Titanic from your calendar and schedule a vacation somewhere else because if you go on the Titanic you are walking into a death trap.

Dinner for me was chicken with rice. I ate on my couch as I scrolled though Netflix on my TV, deciding on Daredevil. It looked like a good show, and within the first 10 minutes, I was hooked. I jumped when my phone dinged at me, and I glanced down at the screen, seeing I had gotten a reply from Will. With Tim’s email and number. I didn’t think that would’ve worked. I sent Tim an email that said thank you for the interview, and that if I needed anything else, I’d be texting him.

Officers began waking up the passengers, something wasn’t right, “Wake up!!, the captain wants you above the deck, this isn’t a drill!!” yelled an officer. The crew began giving us life jackets, I rushed outside to see what happen. They were uncovering the lifeboats, everything was in a chaotic distress, I couldn’t find my aunt, I had to find her. A man put me in a lifeboat, struggling to get out, I ran as fast as I could back on the ship, the front was underwater, smoke stacks started to fall. Titanic started to rise I ran to the back, I looked lost confused, I grabbed on to the wet rusty railing, men shouted women and children first. You could hear the despite cries of the dead and the dying, the breaking bodied of falling people, the glooming rockets used to find us. By the time a ship came to us, titanic won’t be the new gleaming, ship of dreams, but the old rust wreck of nightmares. People climbed till the couldn’t , the ship steeply rose then broke in two a small fires claimed the wreck. She was gone, we were alone, a boat didn’t come for me till an hour, and a rescue ship didn’t come till 2 hours. I looked back every day why I survived, no one recognized me, I never found my aunt.

Countless students my age have their shorter, easier to attain goals planned out for the not-so-distant future, whether it be graduating college or to just making it through high school. I may be no different; however, several people may say that my ambitions are further reaching into my future. My ultimate goal is to become a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland and, then, to serve my country as a member of the largest navy in the world. I took the first step to my dream this summer as I attended NASS, or the Naval Academy Summer Seminar. On May 30, My father and I left for the academy, where I would be spending a week living, working, and learning about all the academy was about and how to be accepted. Upon
