Star-crossed

many problems with how White Star Line treated the different classes of people. In the aftermath safety conventions were held and regulations were changed. But not only that, the Titanic mainly captured the interest of the media and peoples’ thoughts with books, poems, movies, and more. The sinking of the RMS Titanic had a large impact on the standards,…

The proclaimed “unsinkable” ship, Titanic, sailed on April 10, 1912. Titanic departed with 2,229 passengers and crew members from Southampton, England. The Titanic was perceived as an unsinkable ship because it was extensively advertised that its design would provide the utmost security. Upon boarding, the passengers felt exhilarated and secure. In just four days the emotions of the people voyaging on Titanic became overwhelmed with anguish and terror. As stated on Titanicandco, a website…

Countless amounts of U.S. citizens volunteer to put their life on the line to protect U.S. soil each year. They dedicate their lives to ensure that American’s have the security and freedom that individuals desire. That well-known fabric that once made an appearance on the moon is the American nation’s symbol commonly called the American Flag. Due to Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the National Anthem to protest against unjust race prejudice, it brought forth governmental distress and…

The Titanic set off for its first and sadly the last voyage on April 10th, 1912. The supposedly “unsinkable” ship sank in just under 3 hours, taking just over 1,503 people with it. The Titanic wouldn’t have sunk if it wasn't definitely due to man-made errors; such as not being built in a uniform fashion and the pure ignorance of crew members. There is additional evidence to suggest that the climate could actually have caused the Titanic to sink, but even though the climate kind of was a factor…

The fact that the NFL just decided to "take a knee" because Donald Trump called them a bunch of "sons of bitches" disappoints me because that is a horrible reason to kneel. I know not all players think that, but the league wide protest did not start until Donald Trump insulted them. This is not anything new. I hate how that was the tipping point that brought the NFL players and owners together to kneel. People have different reasons to stand or kneel, but if they are kneeling because of what…

you look at the flag, what do you see? Yes, you automatically feel proud to be an American; but why? When I see a flag blowing in the gentle wind, or I see a crowd of thousands standing with their hands to their hearts while the National Anthem plays, I always quiver. I just stand there in astonishment that so few could sacrifice so much for so many. The flag has been around for more than 200 years, and every single person has a different interpretation. The flag is an indescribable icon of our…

Glancing up into the sky, I see the thirteen red and white strips attached to each other flowing in the wind along with the fifty white stars pinned into the upper right hand corner with a backdrop of navy blue. Most people see the flag every day, but think nothing of it, but the flag is a symbol of our country. The United States flag has a different meaning to every person; this is what it means to me. The United States flag stands for so many things but most importantly, strength and…

our country. There is symbolism behind the colors and patterns. The flag of the United States of America was born June 14, 1777, which was the 13 star flag, representing the thirteen colonies. There is symbolism behind the flag, which most Americans should know. There are thirteen stripes which represent the thirteen original colonies. The fifty stars illustrate the fifty states of…

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all” ("Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America | Britannica.com," n.d.) Citizens across this great land know the pledge of allegiance by heart and show their patriotism for this country in many different ways. Throughout this country many men and women choose to join the military run for political office…

The American flag other known as Old Glory or the symbol of America freedom that some love and other take for granite. It is in every school, government building, or outside of local businesses or everywhere you look. The have songs about it, pictures of it, and every k through 12 grade says the pledge before school starts. For some people the flag to them is something to hate or the symbol of evil. It has been cut, burned, and step on all over the world but it has even been hated on by people…
