Whose Voices do we hear most in chapter 3? What does this tell you or make you think?

I hear Bruce Ismay's voice constantly throughout Chapter 3. It tells me that he really cares for the passenger aboard the Titanic. I hear Harvey and Barret's voice a lot. I think that he uses tham for a refrence for how powerful the water is. 1st class speaks more than any in the chapter probably because they're the richer class. for example, they get the lead part when the stewards come to wake the passergers up. It tells me that the people and crew liked the upper class best.

Due to treatment and behavior of the classes, what does this tell you or make you think about society 1912?

Due to the treatment and behavior of passenger aboard titanic in chapter 3, it tells the wealthier the better. Although society in 1912 included the rich, the middle and the poor, money = lifestyle and respect. The first class tended to be treated the best. For example, stewards kindly asked the first class to wake up. third class was treated quite strangely when the ship sank with "WAKE UP WAKE UP WE'RE SINKING" and much much banging.

5/21/11 Whose point of view is the Passage told? From the narrator who probably studied this topic for years. For example, the narrorator or writer probably is telling the story using what they know for references. Also, the producers of this new play have played a big part in the story. I can support this idea by saying, the writer constantly mentions this new play including ticket ads. Whose voices are left out in the Passage Bruce Ismay's voice was left out. If he had been alive to tell the world He didn't escape in a dress. In the passage, it talks most about how Britain got so Angry at Ismay that they didn't want to hear his side of the story. Now that Britain would have to listen to his story, guess what, he kicked the bucket 74 years (at age 74). What does this tell you about J. Bruce Ismay? Does this passage contrast to what we learned from A Night To Remember The title, for starters makes ask myself "was Ismay really a Coward?" In the passage, it states directly that London definitely thought he was. They ostracized him, which definitely was unfair in my opinion. Knowing about Bruce’s leg and Cerebral Thrombosis, it makes me think if he was so bad at all. Maybe he wasn’t if he helped as many people as he claimed. Do you think it was fair for the public to treat Ismay the way they did? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Personally, no I don't think it was fair to treat Ismay the way they did. The public wouldn't listen to him, even though he was the only one to know the complete story. Also, I've heard in multiple texts that as Collapsible C was leaving, the crew said EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF. When I hear that, I think it doesn't matter what you do to survive, it is survival of the fittest, just survive. If that is what Ismay did, the public needs to respect that <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Do you think what Ismay did was wrong? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When I think about what Ismay did, I wouldn't say it was wrong. Let me put it to you this way, do I think what the Americans did for Obama after Bin Laden died was wrong, yes I do. I don't think it was right for people to want Barrack Obama Re-Elected just because his plan was to kill someone, who are we TARZAN. What does that make you think about us Humans? I understand He was I mega-mass-murderer and all, but is that really why you hate the President. If you hated Mr. Obama, but not Mr. Bush, it just doesn't make sense. He didn't do anything to help, and it was 2001, WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE. I feel the same way about Ismay. I think it was right for him to do that because, apparently, it's human nature. When it's all said and done, it's everyman for himself. Again, I say Survival of the Fittest (or most clever). <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We’ve been talking a lot about whether or not media will be anything the book a night to remember. Do you think It will be that way? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">No, I don’t it shall be that way. When I read about that play, I think that it will be wrong because the play has historical liberties. This means that they don’t want to plagiarize to pay money to the original storytellers. So this can’t be completely correct according to A Night To Remember. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Why do you think someone chose to write a play focusing on J. Bruce Ismay? What about him would make this story interesting? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yes, I think someone chose to right a play focusing on Ismay. It would make it exciting was if they spoke about his life as the owner of white star line. It may also be exciting to show him helping many people on their way to the lifeboat. Then they should end it with him telling the story from his point of view and that’s why he lived. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Would you go see this play? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Probably not. I wouldn’t see this play if Ismay was just being yelled at for being smart. As a smart person myself I’d most likely get up and leave. Also, the story would be exciting but, I’m not sure in this economy that my family could afford to go to the play. If money were no object, however, then it would be possible to see it, and I probably would enjoy it if I say it. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Can you think of another passenger who would make a good subject for a play? Do you think he/she would make better story than Ismay? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 89%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I would think Thomas Andrews Jr. would make a good passenger for a play. He would be less ostracized and more applauded for what he did. Then he would have the dramatic death. He would have fame upon his death. I think he would make a better play than Ismay if everyone hated for staying alive then maybe they’d like it better if a man died (no disrespects intended). Besides, Andrews had enough courage to help everyone but himself live to see the morning again and thought only of himself.
