Frost lived in Hull, Yorkshire, England and he was later baptised on 26 January 1874.” He was the son of George William Frost and Elizabeth wood who had married in Yorkshire in 1868. Mr. Frost was a foreman engine fitter on the Titanic that he might be second class. He might have tried to help his coworkers get out of the bottom of the ship in the engine room. In the story he was a nice strong engine worker. “Mr. Frost died on the sinking ship.” He might have never even got out of the engine room because they shut the doors off so that no more water could enter the ship. He could have been locked down in the bottom of the ship while he might have been trying to help his coworkers get out. His body if recovered was never identified if found. If they would have listened to the other ship none of this would have ever happened. If they would have listened to the people the titanic would have made it to new york so the people would have spent their new lives in America. Also if they would have left the Titanic going full speed ahead the impact from the iceberg might have not been as bad. Mr. Frost would have never died on the ship and still would have been working as an foreman engine fitter for the titanic. If they would have paid attention to the messages that the other ships they would have continued their journey to New

    If Ismay had installed 48 lifeboats on the ship, everyone could have been saved. In the article “Who is responsible for the sinking of the Titanic”, “Ismay reduced the number of lifeboats from 48 to 20 because it would clutter the look of the upper deck.” This quote shows that Ismay was not very passenger-friendly. If he cared more about his passengers than his money, this disaster could have been prevented. In other words, it is an Ismay’s fault for the loss of life because he decreased the number of lifeboats on the…

    “Titanic” is written in blank verse and uses a more casual diction. This helps identify with more people in today’s society, to whom the speaker is trying to identify with. His ideals are brought into light with the second stanza which mentions the fact that not only is it the fate of everyone to die; many have to do it alone. The idea is frightening for anyone; however, the speaker seems to take comfort by imagining the atmosphere of the ship before its final moments. By mentioning the “crowds of people, friends, servants...” (5-6), the speaker drives in the point that being able to spend your last days on earth in such fanfare is something worth romanticizing for. The exclamatory “Ah!”(6), further brings the speaker’s desire to focus.…

    The 100 year anniversary drew more attention to the disaster again in 2012. If a replica of the Titanic is built, the new ship will also sink. The Titanic sank because of several factors. These included poor construction of the water-tight compartments, speeding at night when ice was known to be present, not having proper lookout equipment and carrying too much heavy cargo. Also, improper distress signals were used which cause the nearest ships to stay away and not come to help.The passengers were separated into three classes and were not allowed to socialize with each other, which led to the majority of third class passengers being locked in lower decks of the ship and they could not escape. There were not enough life-boats on the ship for all of the passengers and the crew. After the Titanic went down, the life-boats did not return in time and several people froze to death. The events of that fateful night were re-told in stories by the survivors. The disaster was felt worldwide. The Titanic was re-discovered almost 75 years after it sank using new technologies. Artifacts from the ship have been studied and a new replica ship is being made and Titanic will sail again.First Class passengers were served 11 courses at dinner time and with each course drank a new glass of wine. Third class passengers were more laid back and enjoyed gathering in the large meeting room and playing instruments and dancing all night. The ship carried a lot of cargo including vehicles, paintings, trunks of clothing, and furniture. The Titanic also, “carried 44,000 pieces of cutlery, 29,000 glasses and 57,600 plates and bowls.” It cost $4,350 dollars to buy the most expensive first class ticket aboard the ship. This is equivalent to $69,600 dollars in today's money. In its day the Titanic cost $7.5 million dollars to build and in today’s money…

    It shows the negative side of the character through an interview that is conducted by a young journalist. Frost is a racist, cruel, immoral, self-centered, and a bad father to his children, including his wife. The author is trying to honor Frost by depicting him as a vulnerable man who had a lot of weaknesses despite his great achievements in life, especially as a poet. Nevertheless, in order to fully analyze the character, the author should have presented both the negative and positive aspects of Frost. Although Frost has questionable behaviors in the story, Oates is unfair due to her one-sided presentation of the…

    In August, 1807, a steamboat designed by Robert Fulton successfully completed the first round trip voyage from New York to Albany and back (Steamboats, par 1). This voyage started an obsession for advancement in steam travel that reached across the Atlantic and into the minds of the British people. Their quest to always out-do their competitors eventually led to the creation of one of the most famous steamboats of all time. The Titanic was the most luxurious ship that had ever been built. It could not compete with the speed of other steamships, however, so the English decided to compensate by creating the largest and most elaborate ship the world had ever seen (Sinking, par 3). The Titanic was financed by an American company, International Mercantile Marine, which purchased White Star Lines, the British marine company responsible for building the Titanic. The ship, however, was built totally with British technology, registered as a British ship, and manned by British officers (Sinking, par 2). The Titanic launched its first voyage from Southampton, England on the evening of April 14, 1912 (Sinking, par 1). It was traveling to New York when it struck an iceberg and sank, killing fifteen hundred people. The superiority of the Titanic will always be overshadowed, however, by the memory of one of the greatest disasters of all…

    Frost is an important writer due to the fact that he helped renew popular interest in American poetry by refusing to write with the academic modernist style used at the time, he chose to be different. Frost wrote about nature and rural life in a traditional yet complex way that grabbed the interest of many people. Some of his best works that I particularly like include “The Road Not Taken”, “Home Burial”, and “Fire and Ice”. These poems Frost wrote helped form the conception of Americans as tough, self-sufficient individuals. “Home Burial” was about the overwhelming grief after the death of a child. Frost knew and experienced this first hand due to the loss of quite a few people. “Fire and Ice” considers the apocalyptic end of the world.…

    The captain sailing the Titanic had already been charged with the sinking of another ship. So why, would White Star Line put him in charge of the biggest ship of its time? Clearly that was a mistake; clearly he wasn’t qualified to be in charge of a ship of its size. How White Star Line thought that was a good idea may never be known but it was definitely a stupid choice, there’s no other way to look at it.…

    Robert Frost once debated whether the world ended in fire, or ice. It is a sad thought that the world will end without him; that the future generations will be privy to such events made for people like Robert. He was an inspirational, American poet who questioned the very core of our beliefs, he chose paths that few had took, and that is why today he is remembered today.…

    Like so many artists, Frost drew from his personal experiences as inspiration for his poetry. Frost is described by biographers as having “links between the events of Frost’s own life – a gothic chronicle of disasters – and the poetry”. (McQuade et al., 1999, p. 1901) Frost lost his father at a very early age. He was only 11 year old at the time of his father’s death. “But it was not only the early death of his father that convinced Frost of the evil in existence. His own first child died in infancy; his only son committed suicide; one daughter died after childbirth, and another was mentally ill; his embittered wife refused on her deathbed to admit him to her room”. (McQuade et al., 1999, p. 1901) Frost experienced a great deal of loss throughout his life and that loss is reflected in his work. That loss, however, is not always easily uncovered. Frost often masked the pain in his writings with symbolism and metaphors.…

    Questionable events arose after the sinking because the only evidence about that night was the stories told by the few survivors. It was known that on April 10th 1912, the Titanic set sail on her first voyage from Southampton. On April 14th at 11:40 p.m. the ship struck an iceberg on her starboard side of the bow. On April 15th at 2:20 a.m., the Titanic 's broken off stern sank into the sea (Amy 2). For many people, it was hard to believe that the largest ship ever built had sunk on its maiden voyage. Since it was thought that Titanic could stay afloat with even the hardest of impacts it was hard to imagine that the Titanic went down just because of an iceberg that scratched her bow. Therefore, the world was shocked the morning of April 15th when news broke out that Titanic had gone down in less than three hours. A recently uncovered family secret has revealed new information as to why the Titanic sank so rapidly. Today, the Titanic lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in two pieces and a big debris field surrounding two square miles. The shipwreck site is one of the deepest places on Earth to be explored and has brought us new knowledge about the tragic events of April 15thas well as biological processes currently occurring…
