Elizabeth’s Journey
Mother and Father stop in front of a dock with crashing waves hitting the side. I crash into them knocking all of my stuff out of my hands, I look up slowly regaining my balance. My jaw drops when I look up not only do I see the waves crashing and people running here and there, knocking people over, and see people make way for the wealthy. I gawked a colossal ship standing in front of me settling in the water, the ship that is to take me to New York, from Southampton. My mother hands me my ticket and a little bit of money.
“ We will miss you my dear Elizabeth.” Father whispered with a tear rolling down his face.

Another crew member picks me up and drops me behind an older lady, she is also crying but very silently. I notice that there is no more room in the lifeboats. I start trying to think as quickly as I can I am shaking terrified but I have to focus. I don’t want to jump and freeze to death,but I also don’t want to go down with the ship, before I can make a decision a man picks me up and throws me off, people push a lifeboat under me and I sit down, thankful I am safe. We all watch the Titanic start to sink, listening to “Musicians play for two hours and five minutes and the ship sank” (“Titanic: 40 fascinating facts about the ship”). Another ship named Carpathia pulls up to help all us get out of the freezing water. They drop us off at “54- pier in New York City” (“ Titanic Facts”). All I could think was how could it have ended on my trip to New
