Titanic the long night

My name is Elizabeth Farr and I am going to be traveling to New York with my parent unfortunately. The reason why I say unfortunately is because my parents don’t let me have a say in anything. They are the ones who make all the decisions for me for everybody. I argue a lot with my parent’s know more then ever because they want me to marry a guy I don’t even really love. so we are going to be boarding the ship titanic known as the unsinkable ship. So we get to the ship and they get our bags and you know surve us well. We get to our first class seats and my parents and I argue again. This time we argue about were to sit.

I leave to go explore the ship and think about some things. As im walking I see how beautiful the sunset looks. I really think about what im going to do about me wanting to go to college. My parents want me to get married and have a family but I really want to get my education. I don’t know what im going to do or say to really make my parents change there minds. I look around some more and I see the dining area it was big and very beautiful. I tried to do so many things so that I won’t think about my fiancé Alan Reed.  I go back with my parents so we can get ready for dinner. We go and sit in our own table but my father tells the servant something and then comes back and my father said “were is he can you bring him to our table please?”

He was so hansom he sat right in front of me and next to my father. He and my father talked my and my mother talked. I asked my mother who that was and she said a son of a close friend of your fathers. I asked for his name and he said Maxwell Whittaker.

To me that was a pretty attractive name for some reason I found him very attractive. I don’t know if he noticed if I was a little attractive to him but I was. He left. We left to we went back to our room. The next morning I woke up and realized that I dram about Mr. Whittaker.  I wanted to tell someone about it but I didn’t have anyone my parents would kill me if they new I am starting to develop feelings for him. They would for bit me to see him because I am engage with Alan Reed. Pretty soon I would become Mrs. Reed without me loving him or having any feelings for him.

I went out of the room to get some fresh air. I was looking out into the water when I turn Mr. Whittaker I walking towards me. He said “what’s a beautiful women like you doing out hear?” i say “well im just taking a breath out side the ship what brought you out here Mr. Whittaker?” he laughs and says “please call me max, I just came out to see what treasures I could find on this beautiful ship.” I got nerves a little because of what I was feeling. I felt uncomfortable so I said “excuse me I must go my parents must be looking for me.” he said” very well then till next time” I said “till next time.” My father’s friend had invited us to a party on deck. We got there and greeted everyone I saw max and my father asked him to sit with us. We sat together and we talked and talked about were we were going and about each other. I found out he was going to Paris. He asked me out to dinner and I agreed because we were having lots of fun. My parents let me go so I got there and he was such a gentleman it was very wonderful having someone to talk to. Believe it or not he understood me in a way Alan never did.

For the fist time ever I think I felt in love. After dinner was over we agreed to meet again. That night the ship attendance announced that we were getting close to were it was going to get really close. We had already gone out together two times and ont the last date we had we told each other the same thing. We were falling in love with each other and I told him that it was impossible to be with each other. He said know one has to know and then I agreed and we kissed. We were seeing each other everyday know one knew until one night max took me to dinner with some of his friends and one of my fathers friends saw us kiss. He went and asked my father “isn’t Elizabeth engaged?” he said “yes you know that we talked about it at dinner the other night remember?” the man said “ I just saw your daughter kissing another man.”my father said nothing but for the man to just leave. I came back to my room and they asked me if what the man said was true. Then I spock the truth and we had the biggest argument we had ever had. They forbide me to see him and I refused. I left and went with max. we stayed together and then I decided to go back to my parents and be with then for a while.

 It was night and we were already in the iceberg area and you could here the workers screaming and screaming then we felt as if we crashed into something. We had we had crashed into a iceberg and they said that water was getting in. so everyone was running to the side with no water. They announced that unfortunately the ships impacted the iceberg huge and that we were ion the verge if sinking. They were putting all women and children on the boats. The water was moving slow and it was very crowded everyone was trying to get on boats and pushing and shoving. I didn’t know what to do but stay with my parents we were trying to find a boat to get on and my father told us to stay were we were that he was going to go see what was going on. He said he was going to try and get us on a boat. I was thinking about max and were he was and if he was safe. The water got closer and closer to the passengers. I saw max and my father and the signaled us to go were they were and we went and got on the boat my father and max had to stay and we could see from a distance people jumping of the ship as it sank. The ship was so wide it broke in half. Our boat went back to see if there were any survivers. We were looking for my father and I was wondering about max. we looked for a long time and then I saw a man that looked like max and it was him I was so happy he was alive but my father we never found. That was a strong change because I didn’t find my father. After we found land and they helped us and everything. I found my self in the situation of not marrying Alan and marrying max we both did what we wanted I went to school and concentrated on my studies.

Dear.....

Dear Bob,

           

            Hello bob I know we haven’t talked in a very long like but I just want to tell u about this book I read called titanic the long night by Diane Hoh. I want to tell  you about it because I had remembered that you told me that you secretly like to read many books about romance. This book is really good I don’t know if u seen the movie titanic but it’s somewhat the same story but with different people with different backgrounds. In the book a man named Max Whittaker is very rich and is in first class on the unsinkable ship titanic. A woman on the ship is called Elizabeth Farr she is on the ship with her mother and father on there way to New York.  The really romantic part about this book is that max and Elizabeth fall in love and they have to fight for it. Elizabeth’s mother and father do not want her to be with a guy like Max because she has a husband back home that elizabeth does not love him. Elizabeth’s parents don’t really listen to Elizabeth she can not have any opinion of there decisions. She has to obey everything they say. I think you should really read this book because I know you secretly like to read about love stories. And if you liked the movie you’re going to love this book. This book has many good parts it has all kinds of thing. For example there is tragedy and romance. There are parts were many times Elizabeth’s parents argue with her. Many times in the book the author reminds you that there is a tragedy just waiting to happen.

Ballad Poem

Slavery was a horrible thing

Most slaves were african americans

The whites had no sympathy for slaves

No one could speak against whites

If anyone did speak death for them

So most people lived in fear

Many slaves tried to runaway

Some succeeded some died trying

Some got caught and killed

Cotton picking is what they did

Singing songs for jesus while working

They prayed to be free one day

The white mens heart said live the niggro life

Some died with pride like fredrick douglas

He succeeded in running away and fighting for 

the freedom of others 

Narrative poem

i was nine years old going to the park for a family picnic

very excited because it was a new park

i was taking my bike it was my first time riding out side the neighborhood 

i didn't now what to expect of the park

what if there weren't any places to ride bikes

the car ride seemed for very long i new it was far away from my house 

finally we got there i didn't see a playground area

i saw lots of roads and hills to ride bikes

everyone when there own way 

my parents started to fix the picnic 

i started walking around to see who i could find

i found my brother but he wasn't in a place to ride so i left

from a distance i saw my sister and she was riding her bike

taking her bike up this really big hill

i asked if i could go up she said the hill was to big for me

i denied it and insisted on going up the hill

i started to go up the hill very excited

i had to stop several ties to rest from pulling up my bike

i finally got to the top but realized i forgot my helmet and knee pads

i thought to my self i don't need them

she got mad at me for not listening

i didn't listen and said to myself i could do this

she told me to stay and she went down the hill

i started to prepare myself to go down hill

i was excited, determined and scared to go down

one more time i can do this

i started going down yelling happily

then started going faster and yelled terrified

i yelled really loud my parents turned to look

mu parents didn't now what to do my dad thought quickly to tackle me down

he waited till i was close to him so he could jump at me

he jumped at me and we landed on the floor i had only a 

little bit of bruises and him too

 

anne frank-stage adaptation

The play is told by the point of view of annes father Mr.Frank he is explaining annes diary when it was found. When remembering he had to fill in the blanks that anne did not write about he had to have lots of flash backs that had a really hard impact on him. It all begins when the franks here about the war and hitler taking over. They start to realize that german nazis are getting closer to were they are so they must go into hiding. They have many german friends that can help then in hiding . Unfortunately only one person was willing to help the franks the woman's name is miep. she welcomed the franks into her basement so they wont get captured by the nazis and taken to concentration camps. they were informed that they could not make any movement from 8am-6pm. the reason why they could not make any noise is because during those hours the soldiers were on duty. Suddenly miep informed the franks that they were going to have company soon. the family that was joining them were the van dans. they van dans came and joined the franks in hiding they had only one son  named peter. they seemed very wealthy and weren't use to living in places like the basement. peter didn't like having many conversations with anyone. Mrs. van dan they on the other hand were very social. they talked about everything they possibly could. some months passed and miep came and brought back one more person the hide. the name of that person was Mr. Dussel was a jewish dentist. they didn't have many rooms so anne had to share her room with him. Mr. Dussel had no problems rooming with Anne until she started to have nightmares. her nightmares were about the nazi's coming to take her to a concentration camp. That was a bad thing because she would yell and if the nazis were to here her they would come and take everyone. they spent years together in hiding and as years went by peter and Annes relationship bettered and they became friends and they gave each other company. they could speak to each other like friends and even gave each other advice. so they discovered that the reason why there is not enough food is because Mr.Van Dan would come at night and take some. after that discovery one day they herd something down stairs and thought it may have been miep but they didn't want to take any chances so peter was told to turn off the light quietly but he fell of the  chair and made a really loud noise. they got really scared and the men went down to see who was down there it turned out to be a thief  that took a radio. they were afraid that the nazis would find them and trace were he took it from and start to search. For a few days the were living in fear of getting caught. Days weeks went by and suddenly they herd a loud noise down stairs and thought it was miep trying to warn then the nazis were coming.so they waited so see if they said anything and they did say something it was the nazis coming get us. they throw the door down and ordered us to get what we could and go down stairs.
