thoughts.
It is a good rule to apply more because children are future generations
and to save them first is to show the great love that parents have,
because they still need to grow up, and women are the best educators
of children.

What were the reasons for and against returning?
The managers of the boats did not want to return because of the fear
and despair of the people who were in the drain, I thought they would
despair and everyone would want to get on the boat and in the end
everyone would die because of her, but some women wanted to go for
love and the affection they had for their husbands and didn't want to
let them die.
Pages 30-41 Before you read
10. In your opinion, why did the accident happen? Pick the reason that you
think is most important.
I think the accident happened because the captain and those in charge
were confident that the Titanic was an amazing ship, and they did not
notice the huge icebergs in the sea in time, and since the ship was
huge, the impact was greater.

years ago, it always surprises me.
13. Why did James Cameron show a love story in the movie Titanic? Do you

If I agree and more because in every disaster story there is always a

Writing

Tell them about their son and about the night of the disaster.
Mr. and Mrs. Llong, I send you a cordial greeting and with the pain in
your heart tell you the story of the last minutes that we struggled to
survive with Milton, he did not give up until the last moment, but the
circumstances. they were complicated. . and then he could. not to do.

courage that you had, I send you my deepest regret for not being able
to have more words to describe the terrible moment we spent on the
ship.
15. There is a new plan to bring the Titanic up from the bottom of the ocean.
Write a letter to a newspaper, giving your feelings about the plan.
I feel very excited, due to the new plan that is being developed to
remove the Titanic from the bottom of the sea, I would be very
surprised to discover all the mysteries that the Titanic had on board,
the curiosity that I have to know which Titanic is great, I would like to
discover them , and if the new plan is going to work it would be
amazing.
16. Write a new part of the movie. Choose something that really happened on
the Titanic or the Carpathia,
Receiving the first warning message from the Baltic ship, the captain
would immediately give orders to be alert for the icerbergs and change
course, a safer course would be taken guided by the controls and
taking into account the warning, then there would be a second
message of the Californian ship, which would be of help to them and
they would take the notice to be able to help them and thus keep the
Titanic safe from the enormous iceberg of the sea.

17. Imagine that you work for a video magazine. Write about James Cameron's
Titanic. Think about what you know of the real disaster. Give your opinion of
the movie.
The film is very dramatic, because it tells what happened on the
Titanic, the sadness, the anguish and everything that the people who
were on board the Titanic felt and went through, they were sad
moments when they saw what happened, and in the film. They knew
how to tell it in the best way without forgetting any aspect, because
there were sad and happy moments and a love story that everyone

remembers, and as people show their bad and good attitudes in the
worst moments, it was one of the best Movies.
