You're welcome!
In all honesty, after reading the other chapters, whichfor the record are as good as the first, I don't really think you need to change anything. But to be fair, a lot of books written aren't historically correct and they turn out to be great, just because history is history it doesn't mean that people can't interpret it in their own way, because i'm pretty sure you weren't on the actually titanic voyage
I've never actually metsomebody else who's also interested in the titanic that much. Wow, since you was a kid? When I was little I never really managed to get a grasp on the film or history, I used to be very blunt minded until the age of 12. Before then I sort of watched the film and used to think 'it only sinks'. Since then i've bcome more open minded and adapted to the fact that it is an actual true story, now I cry every time, I think that's what draws me in the most about the titanic, it's a true story.
I too checked books out about the titanic, my mum always used to thought it was a little strange, though, so i always checked another book out with it! We had something like the model you always looked at, only I was brought up in Yorkshire (I have to say that 'cause when I talk about going into a pub at the age of 6 it sounds kind of bad), and I used to go into this pub with my Dad, it's not as bad as it seems, I live in this village where everybody's almost as close as family, my Dad wasn't just taking me to random pubs, we were quite close with the owners :L But anyway, they had somehow gotten hold of te article which was entitles 'Titanic, the unsinkable sinks', or something along those lines. The article was in a frame and hung up on a wall (it was one of those real village pubs with pictures and ornaments everywhere :L) and I remember that I would read it countless amounts of times.
I think I have the same sort of interpretation as you when I was young, never understand that it was a tragedy. I thought it was just another story and for a while I was pretty heartless over it, but yeah, what you said makes sense! Yeah, it's not like other true stories, or supposedly true stories, it's something what will kind of be there for the rest of pretty much everybody's lives, it's somthing nobody can forget.
