Why did the Titanic sink?

The Titanic was an expensive cruise liner and was on it’s maiden voyage.

The luxurious ship was made up of three different classes; first class,second class and steerage. The first class was spacious and lovely,second class was less luxurious and third class was very basic.

At twenty minutes to twelve, the titanic was heading for an iceberg. Captain Edward John Smith was trying to break a world record on the titanic so he was going very fast through the Atlantic Ocean. “When the titanic struck the iceberg I was in asleep but somehow I remember felling the jolt when the titanic hit the iceberg.” said Marshall Drew an 8 year old survivor.

Captain Edward John Smith was receiving warning calls from other ships that there was, nine large icebergs in the area. Ignoring this the captain carried on going quite fast through the ocean. The crew spotted the iceberg seconds to late shouting at the Captain to turn fast, but was to late “Then came a crash, and the passengers were panic-stricken." Said George Brayton a first class passenger in board the ship.  Four picture story

I’m pushing my way through the bushes and I come to a clearing, I look around trying to find a place to sit. Holding my journal close to my pounding heart the wind blows my hair and I shiver. I sit under the tall trees towering above me, remembering what life was like just last year. I start writing.

Enclosed in that building life just wasn’t fair, those cold concrete walls keeping everything out everyone trying to protect me but making everything worse. They were trying to help but I wouldn’t hear it I wouldn’t listen. I hated my life. Everything just had to end.

I was on the bridge getting ready to jump, but in the distance there was a glowing sparkling light, it was coming towards me, at a speeding pace she sat down on the grass and stared up at me. She told me I was making a bad decision to stop, and for once I believed someone well something I stepped off that bridge and sat down beside her, we just sat there in complete silence.

This creature helped me through all those difficult times. She showed me light when all I could see was darkness. She was my guardian my light in life. She took me out of that place and now I have family, friends and love. I thank her with all my heart.
