A Night to Remember

The 1997 film, Titanic, directed by James Cameron, is based of the true event of the RMS Titanic which had sunk in the Atlantic Ocean on 15th April, 1912. The film begins with special submarines searching the old sunken ship underwater. Astrologers have been in search for a rare diamond necklace called the “heart of the ocean” that was gifted to Rose Bukater from her fiancé Caledon on the ship before it had sunk. Even though the diamond necklace is not found, the astrologers recover a safe with drawings of Rose Bukater wearing nothing but the necklace around her neck. These pictures were shown on a news channel from where an elderly lady claims to be Rose. When she comes to meet the astrologers, the story of the titanic is told through her. Rose Bukater, along with her mother and fiancé, boarded the titanic as one of the first class passengers. Even though Rose was brought up in a high class society her whole life, she has always felt misfit. Because of financial problems, Rose's mother is forcing her marriage with Caledon as a way of regaining their money. On the other hand there was Jack Dawson, a penny less artist, who won his third class tickets on the Titanic through gambling. Rose and Jack meet for the first time when Rose attempts on suicide from the back of the boat due to all the pressure put on her by her mother. Jack convinces Rose not to jump off and from there both start getting to know one another and slowly develops into friendship. Rose realizes that she…

A Night To Remember This was less of a night to remember, and more of a night that is etched into my brain, a night that I try so hard to forget. It never evades my memory, no matter how badly I wish it would. It caused me great pain and worry, but I will always remember it, because it was a sign that I wanted to get better. It was a sign that there was something more inside of me than just those terrible, awful things. This day was a priceless crystal vase slipping out of somebody 's clumsy,…

The mind is innately selective in deciding what information is important and relevant enough to be remembered, and what is not worth citing. For instance, although people tend to forget the majority of their dreams once awakening, they usually can recall either a joyful, good dream or a terrifying nightmare. Also, a person has the ability to forcefully control what to remember from the past. For instance, if someone goes through such trauma in their childhood, that person may be inclined to try…

After exploring the themes and concepts of the texts we have studied in class, I have developed an understanding of the struggles and successes of other’s life experiences. This has been explored in reading “The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-Time,” by British author Mark Haddon, showing the way that society treats Christopher because of his mental illness. In addition to “Remember The Titans,” directed by Boaz Yakin, revealing how extreme racism and discrimination was in the 1960’s…

“Better by far you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad". Discuss. The theme of remembrance is constantly seen in literature works and poetry. Poets depict the importance of memories, and that it is always better to remember than forget. The poems ‘Remember’, ‘Poem at 39’ and ‘A Mother in a Refugee Camp’ give diverse opinions on the significance of memory. In Rossetti's poem ‘Remember’, she is torn apart on whether to remember or not, providing a duo-view on…

Sports is a big aspect of high school life, especially the sport of football. The films The Blind Side, Remember the Titans, and Friday Night Lights, all revolve around the sport of football and how it manages to change the lives of the athletes. Among these films, the main themes I will focus on will be on the impact of being in a team and the influence an authority figure has on the athletes’ lives.
