I hear the rapid movement of feet outside of my room. Stewards whispering in concern and the sound of continuous movement on the deck alarmed me. I knew something was wrong. As I threw on my fur coat and opened my door, I see a steward and ask him what was happening. The words he uttered made me stand frozen in shock, “The boat hit an iceberg and is about to sink.” It took me moments to comprehend what was said to me. The Titanic, the “Unsinkable Ship”, was about to ship. As I made my way to the deck, I saw most of first class just standing there and complaining about how they didn’t want to leave the boat. The crewmen on the ship were getting aggravated at the passengers. I started help load women in children onto the lifeboats. Well, the

TITANIC The April 14, 1912, the titanic sunk down with a lot of people on it. The titanic pose to been “unsinkable” but there was to many water weight compartments, so it sunk down hours after it got busted. Titanic pose to been the greatest voyage of all time but was it really?
The sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy that had an impact for the entire world. To this day, everyone is familiar with the event. It’s no wonder why mention of the ship would incite a certain dread in the hearts of those who lay their eyes on it. The title, “Titanic” (391), however, is a mere decoy. It’s a tool used to set up the ironic tone of the poem. This is made clear through the rather blunt first line, “Who does not love the Titanic?” The word “love” is a rather explicit word used to describe the world’s reaction toward the vessel for years to come. While the initial set up seems to be satirical, this isn’t the speaker’s true intention. The poem references something other than fear or
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.
Transition: Now that I have discussed the titanic itself, let’s take a look at the tragedy that struck it on its’ maiden voyage.
Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater – For movie buffs in the 1990s, when you heard someone talking about “Jack and Rose,” you would probably think Titanic. You would think about the Love and Mystery, Excitement and Suspense. You might hear comments like: “What a great movie” or “Oh, it’s just a movie… It wasn’t really that bad.” The latter people would be correct: it was worse. The Titanic was so much more than a movie could ever depict. Death, destruction, terror, sadness: those were the emotions for the people aboard the Titanic. The disaster that is Titanic could have easily been avoided, and the needless loss of life would have been spared, if just minor changes in planning were taken heed of at the beginning of the voyage.
Sudden fear is called panic because of the god Pan, who made noises in the wilderness at night (Hamilton 42).
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.
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
The Titanic may be one of the most famous and well known shipwrecks of our time. Just about everyone learns of the tragedy in school and how it was a complete accident. Information has been found that point to the tragedy not being what we think it is. There is evidence that shows that the ship thought to be the Titanic may actually be named the Olympic, and may have been used in an insurance scam. This evidence includes pictures showing different amounts of port holes and even people working on the ship coming forward. It has yet to be proven if this is 100% true, but most would agree that all of this points to it being true.
The sun shone brightly, casting shadows against the passengers boarding the magnificent creation. I stare up at the gigantic beast, its body a site to behold. I can’t wait to walk her decks. Suddenly there 's a tug at my arm. Kitty, our dog kept pulling forward leaving my wife and children behind, excited to board the ship. My manservant, Mr. Robbins, walks beside me carrying our luggage. As my family splits once we board, Mr. Robbins and I continue to first class. Once arriving at our rooms, C62, 63 and 64, I take a slow, methodical breath, and look to the ceiling contemplating this ride of a lifetime on the Titanic.
Within the context of film industry, the film Titanic by James Cameron belongs to epic romance/ disaster genre. The film, released in 1997, was a global box office hit because the director provided equal importance to history, fiction and romance. To be specific, one can see that the film’s plot is based upon the history of RMS Titanic. On the other side, the main characters including the protagonist and the heroine (Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater/Dawson) are fictional characters. Besides, the element of romance between the main characters (Jack and Rose) is the film’s main attraction. Thesis statement: The critical analysis of the film Titanic proves that the innovative mode of storytelling (flash back and other techniques),
The movie Titanic, directed by James Cameron, was a fictional story based on the true ship, Titanic. Cameron's movie was based on a love story; however, the focus of this paper will be on some of the differences between the two classes aboard the Titanic. This movie clearly portrayed how differently the first and second-class people were treated during the time of the Titanic. This can be related to many other times in American history when groups were segregated as well.
puts a story on the screen and into life so that people can see it.
Titanic is a wonderful romantic tale. Titanic motion picture is extraordinary compared to other romantic tale that I have observed. The film occurred in 1912, on the well known ship Titanic in the Atlantic Sea.The film starts with the old Rose talking about what happened to her on board the Titanic boat. She evidently survived from the greatest sink of this "unsinkable" ship at that time. She at that point thinks back and discloses towards her story in the way that she recalls it. Titanic turned into a tremendous hit when it was appeared in the huge screen. Jack and Rose we're youthful darlings isolated by social class, yet bound to locate each other on the first venture of the "unsinkable" ship, which is Titanic. That was extraordinary compared to other movies that ended up noticeably as one of the best acquiring films. The impacts that they made in this motion picture are staggering. The set was additionally great. The insides of the ship were pleasantly done.The theme that I have chosen in this movie is love conquers all.
