4. Conclusion
The people all over the world did not believe the “RMS Titanic” would sink because the company which made the RMS Titanic claimed “This ship does not sink.” but this claim was not true. There were more than 2,200 people on the Titanic but the Titanic has only 1,178 lifeboats so only one of the two people will survive. At that time, the passengers knew this information, parents said “good bye” to their children, husbands kissed their wives for the last time because women and children would probably survive but men would rarely survive because “Woman and children first.” However people just think to survive, they dived to lifeboats or black ocean. They wanted to escape from the ship but they heard the scream of the passengers from the ship. When they heard that, they wanted to help passengers because the husbands or fathers were on the ship but if they would go to help, all of the people would die. Then, the man is crying as he says “We have to save ourselves now!” As a result, more than 1,500 of the Titanic’s passengers and crew died. Family and friends of the deceased did not hear the news of the passing of the passengers until a couple of days later. They were shocked. The RMS Titanic is sinking off the island of Newfoundland in the Atlantic Ocean’s deep sea now.
6 responses to ““Titanic” by Paul Shipton”
I think it is a problem that the Titanic had only 1,178 lifeboats in spite of the truth that the Titanic had 2.200 people because if it had enough boats to rescue people, the accident might cause. Therefore, I think, before leaving a port, it needed to prepare more lifeboats. If people followed this suggestion, this accident would not happen.
This summary just introduce the situation and result of story . If I read this for the first time, I may be in trouble to understand this sorry. How about writing other thing which is important thing concerning to story. It is influence to your more understanding of this story. You can found more interesting point by doing this.
I find the problem of the story. It is that they didn’t expect the ship to sink. It is because the sea is very mystery place, we don’t know what is going to happen; we cannot be sure that the ship we make will be okay. I think that it is important to assume the worst case, and to prepare a rescue boat for everyone is necessary. If they do so, more and more people would have been saved.
I find the conclusion section too scattered. This is a problem because conclusion should be a brief statement of what can we learn from the overall narrative. One way to fix the problem is to write your own thoughts that you can find out from the story, rather than the content of the story. If you do that, your reader can capture the author’s massage.
I found a problem. Conclusion is hard to read. This is because it is too long and there is too much information and I don’t know what to say. Also, I feel like the way it is now is more like a summary. I have a solution. You should narrow down the information. Inevitably, sentences become shorter by doing it. If you do it, the reader is easier to read it.
I found a problem with the second item. I think that there are only facts written there rather than important aspects. You will need to write down the important aspects so that the reader can understand it better.
