Stephanie Eshleman Mrs. Scherer English 102 3T The Infamous Deaths of Glory “She went down in all her glory,” is a common phrase heard when talking about the Titanic, and no, not the movie. The poem “Titanic” by David R. Slavitt tells the tale of this infamously famous ship as if it were some sort of fairy tale ending. Slavitt tries to soothe the harsh reality of the sinking by stating that “the cries on all sides must be a comfort” (13). To say that it is a comfort to die along with others is true, as many people want someone by their death beds, even third class steerage. However, in the anesthetic cold water the first class and some steerage were dying together (12).

130 first class passengers died, 166 second class passengers died and 536 third class passengers died. The highest casualty rate was men. Apparently there was a strict rule about women and children first when it came to boarding the lifeboats. How so Bruce Ismay (Olympic Class Ocean Liner Owner) and Thomas Andrews (Ship Designer) should be blamed for this and was also involved in the sinking of the titanic because they should insure safety measure for all of the classes and to insure that it regulates the British legislation laws, which they did not insure passengers safety of all different class.

1821- Every single day of this dreadful journey, I still contemplate what could’ve happened if I was not intrigued by the colossal ship and the beautiful merchandises. I still recall the events that led to my capture, countless European traders rushed down from the boat, enticing us to buy red handkerchiefs, dress goods, beads, bells, and trinkets in bright colours. Numerous black men and women rushed into the boats to receive some accessories. However, it was a massive hoax… they began forcing us below the deck and locked us up before the transportation to America. European men dragged me below the deck and began separating us into numerous groups.

At 9:40 PM on the evening of February 15, an explosion ripped the forward hull quickly sending the ship to the bottom of the harbor, killing two hundred sixty-six of the 345 crew members. Investigations started immediately.
Early 1900’s a time of change and tragedy The explosion from the impact, the rush of water flooding every nook and cranny, abandoning ship and boarding the crowded lifeboats trying to stay out of the frigid water. The German submarine warfare in the early 1900’s took many lives, and in the case of the Lusitania, civilian lives. The world in the early 1900’s was influenced and shaped by many inventions but two stand out, the assembly line and the Ford Model T. The early 1900’s was a new time full of inventions and war, all influencing Aldus Huxley to write Brave New World. Henry Ford’s invention of the assembly line is a huge advancement in manufacturing. This allows many items to be produced, by people with very little skill and training,
