Out of the 2,208 people on the titanic only about 700 passengers/crew survived. But, who were those people? They will be generally remembered for the horrors they went through, but we should honor them with knowing their full experiences the ship. One of the ladies on the titanic was named Rose Amelie Icard. She was a woman who worked as a maid for a woman named Mrs. Martha Evelyn Stone. She was at the age of 38 when she stepped aboard the titanic for the first time. She got on the titanic with a first class ticket along with Mrs. Stone. After feeling the ice hit the ship and knowing something was wrong, they stepped out to the corridor to ask someone if they knew what was going on. The stuart said that to his knowledge nothing was going on. So they went back into the room without a warning of the things that were going to happen. Then Rose and Mrs. Stone felt another violent jerk and the boat stopped. They went outside to see their neighbors daughter grabbing the life preserver frantic. …show more content…
The three of them ran together up to the main deck to see the sailors getting into the lifeboats. They all stepped into lifeboat 6. Rose took charge and rowed with all her might. Her hands were bleeding and her wrists ached. By the morning and all of them mourning they saw the ship “The Carpathia” and got on board with the other few survivors. Many years later after getting home safely , her family encouraged her to write down the accounts of that time. So she wrote a first person accounts of the events. After she died a person bought the letter at an auction. He knew how to speak french and english so he translated it. Part of the letter
HISTORY keeps an accurate account of all historical events, including the Titanic, which include much of the known History of the titanic. The RMS Titanic was equipped to carry a 3,547 people at full capacity, which would have included all passengers and crew aboard. With a high passenger capacity, the RMS Titanic was equipped to carry 64 lifeboats, each lifeboat was able to carry 65 people. Since the Titanic was made of steel the architects had believed the
Captain Edward Smith stayed on the boat while it was sinking. He was an English naval reserve officer. He
One thousand five hundred and three people died in the sinking of the Titanic, but was it avoidable? The behemoth of a ship was supposed to be unsinkable; however, due to the Captain’s negligence, the speed of the ship, and not listening to multiple warnings it was sunk. Miss Jessie Allis Mary Goodwin, a twelve year old girl, lost her life due to the tragic sinking of the Titanic. Unfortunately, she died because she was a third class passenger so she was sealed in by the watertight doors.
All of these events could have been avoided if just one person on the ship would have just stopped and told the caption that going forward in such conditions may mean they never make it back. All in all, the Titanic was a true show of humanity’s general disregard for anything but their own livelihood and image when in a disaster. Yes, there were passengers who sacrificed their lives for others and crew members who most likely felt uneasy after hearing the warnings from the intercom; but there was also 1,503 lives lost that could’ve been

on its maiden voyage in 1912 the British ocean liner titanic sank after ramming an iceberg in the north atlantic ocean. the nearest ship the California did not get the SOS message because the radio operator had gone to bed and turned off his radio. the titanics captain Edward j smith knew that there were only enough lifeboats for half the 2100 people on board in the panic even those were not filled. seventeen year old jack Thayer from Philadelphia was not lucky enough to get into a lifeboat but as the titanic slid into the water, he dived from its deck into the ice waters coming upon an overturned lifeboat he hung on until the carpathian came to his rescue at dawn more than 1500 other people were not so
On April 15, 1912 at 11:40 P.M. the Titanic collided with an iceberg and by 2:20 A.M. it was at the bottom of the ocean; over 1,500 people died. The massive loss of life was a shock to the world. The “unsinkable” ship had sunk. Despite the Titanic’s claims about being “unsinkable” and completely safe, many avoidable things led to the immense number of fatalities, such as the shortage of lifeboats, lowered bulkheads, and the lack of binoculars. Bruce Ismay, the designer of the Titanic and director of Whitestar line, often chose the comfort of his passengers over their safety. While Ismay was designing the Titanic he thought that the deck was too cluttered so he decided to keep only a third of the lifeboats needed to save all of the passengers

Sighing, she sat down and continued to look over her papers of old news and letters to the column that she co-ran with her cousin, Analisa. She picked up a letter that caught her attention, the paper seemed old. It had the appearance of something from a movie she had once watched. She turned it over to see that it had been in fact addressed to her, not her column, but her specifically. She opened the envelope and pulled out the parchment
Passengers relied on science and industry to keep them afloat. When the crew went from room to room throwing life jackets at passengers and ordering them to put them on, this was considered as just a precaution. Some passengers asked to have tea ready for them when the return to their rooms. When people could see the Titanic was sinking, still there was no alarm.
She talked for the first time in what felt like ages. It hurt her voice, but she was determined to find out why she was here, so she asked where she was. The man didn’t understand her because she was speaking Italian, but Marie soon realised that and started speaking English. Marie learned English from school and from her mother, who was originally born in the United States. The man said she was at Virginia Beach, but hidden so nobody would find her. Marie was scared, but she had to find a way out. She thought of a plan and hoped it would work, but it was very risky so she was scared, but it was better than just sitting there, waiting to die.

The book, The Name of The Rose, transpires in a medieval abbey located between “Pomposa and Conques,” around 1327, in which strange events befall on the monks which appear to mysteriously correlate to the Book of Revelation (Loc 111). The author of the book, Umberto Eco, employs medieval theology to portray philosophical ideas, such as the postmodern concept which theorizes that all text relates to one another. Through the application of architectural imagery, the illustrative characteristics of animals, the application of numerology, latin quotation and erroneous interpretation of scripture, Eco composed a masterpiece that loosely parallels events and language located within the Book of Revelation. Utilizing the circumstances of the period, the author hints at the harmful nature of futuristic exegesis of biblical narrative, especially with a focus on the apocalyptic text of the Book of Revelation. Apocalyptic literature, often ornamented with intricate visions, symbolism and numerology, is a classification of cataclysmic Jewish writings which incorporate impressions of heaven along with revelations. Through the depiction of the conflagration of the abbey, elegant symbolism and extravagant visions within, The Name of the Rose exhibits idiosyncrasies of the apocalyptic genre. The Book of Revelation, which contains a profuse amount of homogenous attributes to The Name of the Rose, is also suitable to the apocalyptic labelling. Due to the vastness of allusions between the two
