What Was It Like Being Shipwrecked?

The main focus of the document, The Horrors of a Slave Ship, is over a topic of a young boy given the name Gustavus Vassa who shared his story of his own slavery experience. He writes about a journey of heartbreak and terror and all of the restrictions he endured. He first describes the day he was kidnapped, then all of the families he was sold to. At one time he was fortunate to see his sister for a last time before being sold again to another family. Vassa observes the differences and similarities between his culture and the families’ of his owner’s cultures. Towards the end of the document, Vassa describes Africa, and how he was shipped off to a new world. He had to endure the horrors that came with being chained up with the other slaves. The boy described the smell to be unbearable and that many people would choose death their current situations. By the end of the document he portrayed the way that people were being sold in an auction and the despair of agony when they were parted from their loved ones.

In the Anglo-Saxon epic poems “The Wife’s Lament,” “The Wanderer,” and “The Seafarer,” the authors make their poetry much more interesting and enjoyable by inserting literary devices that add meaning and cohesiveness to each line. Each poem contains multiple literary devices such as kennings, caesuras, and imagery. These tools work together in order to add mood and transparency to the poetry.

Shackleton, the star of the novel ‘Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World’ was a very good leader, but what were three characteristics he could use for different occasions? He did show many different characteristics, but the best three I chose are Dauntless as well as Allegiance and don’t forget about Lively. Showing characteristics are always fun, but when you show good characteristics it’s even better. Shackleton is a prime example of showing good characteristics. “They could not linger in their cave all winter, dining on seal meat and toasting their feet at a driftwood fire. The men on Elephant Island were still counting on them.” The significance of this quote is so important because it shows that Shackleton does have loyalty to these guys. This man would not stop talking about his adventures in the south and kept on going back. This is an important topic to talk about because it may show others to be more like him and bring the good from inside them out just like Shackleton and his Dauntless, Allegiance, and Lively characteristics.

The Titanic is just one event that has shaped American history. With this being a topic of interest to many, authors like to use it as a setting for a fictional story. As a reader, it is important to remember that when reading historical fiction, some elements of the story will be truth while others will be made up. In the book I Survived The Sinking Of The Titanic, 1912, it would seem that the author Lauren Tarshis was more concerned about writing a story rather than accurately portraying history.

The two stories are going to be the “The Mysterious Treasure of the Unlucky Pirate” and “The Abandoned Children of Wailing Wood” the first one talks about a pirate named captain kidd a pirate who was first a merchant and then started stealing and got mad while stealing and killed a guy with a steel bucket and then his crew stole his boat and he chased them and buried his treasure while doing it and then he went there and got hanged because of killing that guy with a bucket but did not tell where the treasure was.

The Seafarer, The Wanderer, and The Wife’s Lament all contains faith verses fate. The three poems are very similar and very different. The three poems ranging from a lonely man, to a lost soldier, to a wife’s bedrail. The medieval poems show hurt, confusion, and loneliness.

The conditions and common practices aboard a slave ship are horrific. I say this because they would use huge buckets to go to the restroom and the children would fall into it. They also were very cramped in that small space in the ship. The British also made them dance to think it is a way to be freed. The British also sometime throw some enslaved Africans over board if they wont do something they are told to do so. These are only some of the conditions and common practices aboard a slave ship.

Today we searched the shipwreck, that we found and found many cool things. The ship had 6 cannon ports and we believe that the ship had two masts. Also we found this ship 4,363 feet below sea. In the ship we found musket parts, ceramic cups and dishes, clothing, and a toothbrush. These items were from all over the world. The items were from Britain, China, Mexico, and and Canada. After we found these items I was extremely ecstatic, because I did not think we would find things like that. Also the items gave us clues to what kind of ship this was. We believe that the ship was a government paid ship, that went around the world and made sure the sea was safe. Lastly, there were two other ships found nearby and by our findings in the first

You’ve must of felt it was the end of the world as Bibi snuck out of the house with out telling your parent but putting a note on the table, what was going through your head and your emotions as she could’ve took one step and it would’ve exploded and would never be able to see you little sister Bibi? Last question, when you heard the rumours that went around on the island that you were on, did you believe what they were saying at first as the rumour was that the boat didn’t make it and crashed? You must’ve felt like it was the end of the world as you very young and didn’t know how to look after yourself and even

Our intention was to find a shipwreck deep in the Gulf of Mexico yet we found two sunken vessels. We think that the ships went down around the same time. This is the first time we ever go as deep as 4,363 feet down which makes this the first deepest investigation of american shipwrecks. From what we looked in we come to the understanding that we don't really know anythings about any of the three ships. We still have a lot of question about the ships which makes me disappointed because we really want to know what we are looking into. We have got the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to used the remote-control to be able to take a look at we we found which makes me so excited. From what we have seen from the remote control it seems

“The Horrors of a Slave Ship,” describes in detail, the tragic experiences of Olaudah Equiano as a captive slave. Equiano suffered many sleepless nights; he was flogged and kidnapped multiple times. In the article, the author is trying to give the reader the feeling by giving details of the brutally floggings and desperation as many slaves suffocated to death as they were placed in an overcrowded deck. Overall, the author tries to give readers their point across of the difficulties in being a captive slave.

The story I chose was Dear America, Voyage on the Great Titanic. The story was about a 13 yr old girl who is an orphan. She gets a great opportunity to go on the RMS Titanic with a fine lady Mrs. Carstairs. She sets sail not knowing her life was in danger. I enjoyed this book and it stayed interesting the whole time. These are some events that happen through the book. My opinion also state that I enjoyed reading this but it still a tragic event and I would not recommend it to younger kids. Even if you are not very knowledgeable of the scene of the titanic you should read this because it gives a good view of what the people felt on that cold, wind, night. These are some recommendations about this book, hope you would try and read

One of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century, was the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Although many ships have succumbed to the icebergs in the ocean, none have accounted for a greater loss of life than the Titanic (Hill, 2000). All the hype surrounding the Titanic in 1912, made people believe this ship was going to be an unstoppable luxury cruise; even third class passengers would be able to enjoy simple things that weren’t offered on other ocean liners at the time, like cooked meals and their own private cabins. The Titanic was dubbed the Ship of Dreams; however, it would turn into a nightmare for the passengers and their families in less than a week. The maiden voyage from South Hampton, England to New York City, New York would be a journey no one could forget. The sinking of the Titanic would capture the imagination of Hollywood directors, and became the passion of sea explorers who would search for the great vessel.

I always wondered, what if I survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic? Well, one day, I built a time machine in my basement. It took me a few years. Then, when I was 12, I jumped in. Suddenly, I was in an old fashioned car heading for a building. I got out of the car, and then I saw myself wearing a gown. I went inside the building that was in front of me, and I suddenly saw a man and 3 others, playing poker to win a Titanic Ticket. Then, I was offered to play poker for the same ticket.
