11 English 9/10 Special Education Class “It felt like I was on the ship. It scared “ me, my heart is racing. I was reaching around trying to touch things like the boat and the girl on the ship The noises were loud. It felt so very real, like i was there. Anxiety took over my body, my hands were clammy, I was scared.”
13 I heard people crying, people screaming and yelling “ because they were confused as to why some people were restricted from going onto the lifeboats. People were realistic and it looked like I was actually on the lifeboat sitting on the bench and if I moved over to the left anymore then I would of fell into the sea.
14 The experience is different from watching it threw the “ glasses verses just on the screen from when others did it. It looks almost fake on the TV but when you have the glasses on you could tell it was fake but like it was so realistic to the point where you could touch the people next to you and the water and sounds looked and sounded like I was their on that ship on that day.”

The sinking was very intense, Sitting on the lifeboat, I could feel the chaotic, and loud. The water entered confusion among the others. It was so the ship so quickly that people didn’t dark that all we could do was watch the have time to react. No one knew what ship sink. I could hear another woman would happen next, as the ship sank, breathing heavily right in my ear, since it then continued to snap in half and was so crowded. There was a baby and sink even more. People were jumping a small dog, who both whimpered in a off of the sides and sliding down the sense of panic. As the ship snapped and decks. Women and children watched sank completely, I heard the screams of the disaster unfold from the lifeboats. those watching, and those who went There was nothing anyone could do down with the Titanic. After the ship was to stop it. People felt helpless as they completely submerged, I listened as the approached their inevitable fate. lifeboat passengers realized the fate of their loved ones on board.
