Persuasive Essay About The Titanic

Everyone has heard about the sinking of the Titanic. Lots of people have seen the movie, and even though the movie does not give specific information, it gives an idea of what happened that day. Researching the event of Titanic sinking is heartbreaking since so many people died. Because the sinking happened so long ago, about 104 years, it is starting to become irrelevant. People should still remember the people who passed away and what occurred on the event. After all, what occurred on 9/11 is still highly brought up and recognized every year and half the amount of people died on the Titanic and is hardly mentioned anymore. The Titanic sinking is an event that doesn’t even seem like a real event to many people. Schools should teach more about the Titanic in history class because it is a real event that happened, and completely opposite from the fake love story everyone has heard of. There is some evidence that the Titanic and another ship, the Olympic, were switched, but there is proof that the boat was indeed the Titanic. Neither the boat nor the people were switched, unfortunately, so the people who were on the boat, did pass away. The theory of the Titanic being switched with the Olympic has been debated quite a bit, but the ships were not switched.

On September 11, 2001, four different planes were hijacked by terrorists. Two of them headed for the Twin Towers, the other headed for the Pentagon and the other nobody really knows for sure. The two that were headed for the Twin Towers, sadly made it there and crashed into both of them, they collapsed. The one headed toward the Pentagon also made it there. But the other plane didn’t make it to wherever it was supposed to be going, because of some brave passengers trying to take control of the plane and crashing it into a field, sacrificing their selves to save everyone else.

(Attention material) Morgan Robertson wrote a book called The Wreck of the Titan. It was about a so called “unsinkable” ship named the Titan that set sail from England to New York. There were many rich and famous passengers on board. On its journey, the Titan hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean and sunk. Because of the lack of lifeboats, many people died. If this sounds familiar, get this. The Wreck of the Titan was written 14 years before the Titanic sank.

Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001 was a day that no one will forget. I decided to write it out what happened to my family that very day in my mom’s perspective to make it easier to understand. My mom was in Pleasant Hill, CA and decided to skip that day of work because my older sister was sick. Madeleine, my eldest sister, was two at the time. Early in the morning a family friend of ours, Janet, called my mom asking if she saw what was happening. Janet said,” Jeanne the twin towers are on the ground, turn on the news!” My mom was so tired from staying up all night because of Madeleine that when she heard what happened she didn’t belive it. She quickly turned on the news and it replayed the airplanes hiting the twin towers and falling.

Arriving at the office, traditional Tim Horton’s coffee in hand I expected a typical morning. Chatting cheerfully with colleagues in the conference room our boss, Barbara sat down ready to start our weekly sales meeting. An administrative assistant came in and said, “Something really bizarre just happened, a plane just flew into one of the twin towers.” Everyone looked puzzled and our boss unsettled, but said, “Okay, well we need to get started,

On September 11, 2001, nineteen hijackers bordered four domestic airplanes on the East Coast. Two San Francisco bound planes would crash into the Twin Towers. At 8:46 am American Airlines flight eleven crashed into the North Tower with maximum fuel. The United States first thought is that this must be a terrible accident, but at 9:02 am on live national television United Airlines flight one hundred seventy-five crashed into the South Tower

I was sitting in my office one day looking around. Something was not right, I didn’t feel safe. I could tell something was going to happen, but I didn’t know what. As I sat there wondering, and watching the pigeons flying around outside I got hungry so I ate a Snickers bar. For some reason it tasted better that day than it ever had before, and then there they were, the planes! My coworkers and I watched as they circled the towers, getting lower and lower. By that time everyone was at the windows all watching, all wondering.

“Lifebelts on everyone! Lifebelts on!” Crew members were yelling in the middle of the night. I couldn’t believe! The Titanic was supposed to sink, even though it was unsinkable.

Tuesday, September 11, 2001, was an unusually sunny days for the early fall. After I walked my kids to school, I came back and I called Comcast because they had raised my bill. I turned on the news, and hung up with Comcast right away. A plane had hit the North World Trade Center. I couldn't keep my eyes off the news, and then a plane hit the South World Trade Center, and then the Pentagon, and then a plane crashed into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. I couldn’t believe what was happening. When I saw the first crash, I thought it was a mistake; and then it happened three more times. The passengers and flight attendants on Flight 93 are some of the bravest people out there. After I saw everything I didn’t know what do, except cry. At about 11 am, I went into my bedroom and told my husband, “You’re never going to believe what’s happening in this world: two planes crashed into both of the World Trade Centers and everything is on fire.” Fortunately, I did not know anyone who had their life taken away in this horrible event, but my brother-in-law, was in Boston, and was supposed to fly back home, leaving from Logan International Airport. Since all United States airports and flight had been grounded, the best he could do was rent a rental car and drive back to Crozet, Virginia. For the second time that I

Sitting in my office felt like any other day. The sun was shining through my window, I could hear the elevators doors opening and closing, and the smell of coffee seeped into my office. But then, the sound of all of the voices ceased as we felt a rumble in the floor beneath us. I turned to look at my watch, it was 8:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001. I thought my eyes must have been deceiving me as I watched my office walls split apart. Then I heard the footsteps running down the stairs as well as

It was a chilly morning on September 11, 2017, when Will Boulder and his best friend, Jeremy, boarded the Boeing 737. Will was an optimistic and bossy person. Jeremy was pessimistic, sarcastic, and he had bad jokes like; “What do you call a cow that's laying on the ground? Ground beef!” Anyway, they were headed to see their parents and were flying from Chicago to Toronto since both of their parents lived there. Shortly into the flight, an unidentified aircraft flew alongside them.

The radio had turned on, “tower fell down, by small plane, fire everywhere.” My father had to drop my brother off at school, and had assumed that the radio was a story of some sorts. Afterwards he went to McDonalds to eat his daily routine of a hashbrown. Right before he would leave for work there was a call. “Hello? There has been an attack on the World Trade Center and we need you to take Eric home.”

When researching movies for my paper, I decided that the Titanic was the perfect option. Being that the movie was based on the true event of the RMS Titanic sinking, I knew I could also find a lot of research during the time of the Titanic to help strengthen my paper. The movie Titanic took place in the early 1900’s, a time rich in sociological issues. Their way of life was a lot different than ours today. Some major sociological concepts that were shown several times in the movie were, social stratification, gender inequality and sexism, inequality of income, and discrimination. During this time period people faced huge gaps in wealth, gender, class, and race. Gaps between the rich and poor were extreme. The wealthy were rich and the poor were in poverty. The “middle class” was not a common standing within society: you were either upper or lower class. It was very difficult to rise above the lower class standing, and easier to fall below the upper class line (Prezi web). Men dominated in almost all social standings; voting, ownership of land, professions, wealth, etc. Women were still viewed as “property” and in most ways, treated as such. The gap between the upper and lower class caused discrimination amongst them. Lower-class was treated poorly by the upper-class and seen as less worthy. In my paper I plan to include all of these sociological issues, and clearly connect them within the movie, Titanic.

To inform my audience about one of the most famous tragedies in history, the Titanic.

Titanic, the HMHS Britannic, RMS Lusitania; what do these names all have in common? That’s right, they all were boats that sunk. Relating to my story, I was in a tropical paradise that looked as if it was the kind you see on calendars and default backgrounds on computers, the kind you thought never really existed. Never had I seen such beauty before. My family and I walked the soft sanded beaches for hours on end every day, soaking in all of the burning sun's rays and exploring everything the island had to offer. I fell in love with the warm, clear, turquoise waters and the smell of salt water in the air wherever you go. As soon as I stepped off the plane, I knew that Turks and Caicos was a once in a lifetime opportunity, one to be cherished forever. But no trip would be memorable if there wasn’t a moment of action and adventure. So in order to make this the greatest trip of all time, my family and I decided to go against the wishes of the resort and go where no tourist dared to go. This could’ve been the vacation getaway talking, but we rented mini boats from off resort merchants, unsure of the dangers that were to come.
