I think the author Lauren Tarshis included all these quotes to give you an example on how it would feel on the titanic. For an example “It was the kind of night.” Showed that even though the titanic sunk it was still a beautiful life.

The quote “It was the kind of night, that made one be glad to be alive” that quote that Jack said tells you that it was a beautiful night sky. But he is also a first class passenger so he would get a good view of the night. And I don’t blame him for when he said it made one glad to be alive because he also was a rich high class passenger that was going to America
