While reading a narrative nonfiction piece about
Titanic (the ship, not the movie) today:
- Why didn't they just call in a helicopter?
- Did they have night-vision goggles?
- Couldn't they have made a spotlight using aluminum foil and lightbulbs?
- If the watertight doors were closed, what would happen if someone was standing under them?
- Why did they leave the watertight doors open normally? Wouldn't that let water in? (they thought the doors were on the hull of the ship)
- If the water was so cold, how did Jack survive for so long? (mind you, we spent the first five minutes of class discussing the difference between narrative nonfiction and historical fiction)
- They had seven iceberg warnings? Seven? This really irritates me! I need to call someone about this!
