My name’s Cassie and I have a story to tell. This is the story I
remember. I can only tell you this story without the facts, I can tell
you it the way it happened to me. I can’t tell you how long ago it
happened. I’ve lost all sense of time. My mind is warped and I don’t
really understand what happened that night.
I guess my story must begin on Christmas day 1911. I was 8 at the
time.
I lived with my father George Turn. We lived in a little flat in
Southampton, and he was my hero. I never knew my mother; she died when
I was young so my father was all I had.
Back to Christmas day, I woke up and ran out of the bedroom into the
main room. We had a rather pathetic looking Christmas tree this year
but me and father had put some coloured rags on it. Under our
Christmas tree there were three parcels. One of which was from me to
my father. The other two I guessed were for me. I waited for my
father to wake up before I opened my presents. The first was a thick
rectangle that I opened quickly it was a chocolate bar. Father opened
his present and found his orange. He tried to act surprised.
I slowly opened the parcel and to my surprise it was tickets on the
Titanic.
The next few months went quickly, I told everyone I saw, I was going
on the Titanic. We were going to America, to New York, to see the
sights. On the Titanic. People looked surprised when I told them. The
tickets were very expensive, when I asked father how he could afford
them. He just winked at me, whatever that meant.
I remember the day so well; there were so many people down on
Southampton dock. Father accidentally bumped into a rich man who
introduced himself as John G Butler. He was a very nice man who told
me I was going to grow up to be a heartbreaker.
I am writing my first entry aboard this incredible vessel today, primarily because I have been spending the last three days exploring the sections open to my fellow third-class passengers and I. What I have seen is extraordinary, especially when first boarding the ship. The halls and staircases of the first class section were like nothing I had ever seen before in my life. They were blanketed in luxury from end to end. The first class passengers I had managed to see wore their best garments boarding the ship and were conversing with each other about their rich lives back home. I believe I even saw Mr. John Jacob Astor, a man I had heard much about for his contributions to the American fur trade. I had heard that he would be aboard for the maiden voyage of ...

The Titanic: Why Would it Sink The Titanic claimed to be the ship of its time; one that would never sink. However, what the Titanic claimed to be was not the case because on April 15, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg, broke in half, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. There has been debate ever since that fateful day as to how this happened to the Titanic. Some conspiracy theorists believe the ship never even sank -- regardless of whether the ship remains at the bottom of the ocean. Other conspiracy theorists believe the Titanic was actually switched to the RMS Olympic because of an insurance scam.
Who are you giving credit to/citing credentials for the speech? Where are you getting your sources from? I am receiving my sources from the internet and various authors, one being Morgan Robertson and another being Rob Green.
It was Christmas eve at my aunt's house and the parents were trying to get us to go to bed. When we wouldn’t my mom suggested going caroling. We all screamed that we didn’t want to go. Since she was the adult we had to listen to her and we went.
Can you imagine being on a giant ship and hearing a loud BOOM! You may just think that someone broke something or that the ship is in trouble, although you can’t ever imagine sinking on an “UNSINKABLE SHIP.” Titanic was the biggest ship in the world and one of the most amazing ships. But it also has one of the most tragic stories. Many people made awful decisions such as Bruce Ismay, the Captain, Crew, and Thomas Andrews. Nevertheless after reading this, your sure to come to the realization the it is the Captain Smith and his crew that were responsible.
On the morning of April 15th, 1912, the Royal Mail Ship Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg from the voyage from the United Kingdom to Ney York City. More than 1,500 people died because of the wreck and it is considered the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. At the time, the Titanic was the largest ship afloat and was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners that was operated by the White Star Line and build by Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. On the voyage during the wreck, it carried 2,224 passengers and crew. Edward Smith was in command of the ship’s passengers that included some of the wealthiest persons
It was 8 years ago when my parents sat me on the couch that was transformed into countless forts, the same couch that was a boat when I took my trips across hot lava. I remember wishing that I could sail away from what I was about to
It was the summer of 2000 and I had moved in with my sister Jana in Santa

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio were in their twenties when they filmed Titanic. Imagine if they hadn’t been the ones who had been picked for the movie because, let’s face it every film has plenty of actors lined up for the roles. Thanks to the director James Cameron, Kate and Leo played Rose and Jack. Kate had found out that she would have to be naked as Leo had to draw her in one of the scenes, so when they first met she thought she would flash him to make it less awkward. In the end, when they had to film the scene, he ended up fumbling with the lines.
I moved into that sinister street and itty bitty house when I was 6. It was my 12th birthday when we decided to hop up on the roof. My mother was gone and he said "we'll only be up there fer a bit. Aint' gonna be a problem" He flashed me a thumbs up. So I hesitantly got up there, too afraid to look down. My brother came second. But it wasn't until
Throughout all of the years I had attended school I had heard the word "Titanic" probably only five times. All I knew of this ship was that it sank and many people died. That was literally the extent of my knowledge about this ship.
It was in July, and we wanted to go camping. I asked my dad if we could go up to our family's cabin in Elk Springs, which is near Montrose. He agreed, so Chase, Tyler and I, all sixteen years old, packed our stuff and were ready to go camping. With excitement, we jumped into Chase's truck, and took off to the woods.
My mom woke me the following morning. She had decided to bring me breakfast in bed...
