Eva Hart Eva Hart was 7 years old and bound for a new life in Canada when her father woke her in the middle of the night, carried her outside in a blanket and told her, "Hold Mummy’s hand and be a good girl." It was the last thing he ever said to her, and she never saw him again. Later that night, wide awake and clinging to her mother in a lifeboat, the little girl watched as the Titanic rose almost straight up on her bow and plunged to the bottom of the sea, carrying her father and more than 1500 other passengers and crewmen to their deaths in the North Atlantic. As one of only 706 Titanic passengers who survived, Eva Hart never forgot what she had seen and heard that night. I saw that ship sink," she said in a 1993 interview. "I never

  • Margaret (Molly) Brown: The Most Famous Titanic Survivor

    578 Words  | 2 Pages

    After the Titanic sank, Margaret was forced to board a lifeboat after helping others. At sea, she and six other women - including a boy and man- paddled through the ice-cold water. After being saved by the Carpathia, she supported other Titanic survivors, to put it another way, many people viewed her as a humanitarian. Which is one reason why Brown established the Survivor’s Committee by the time the Carpathia reached New York and was elected as chair. The Committee raised about ten thousand dollars for the survivors that need the money. After all the survivors reunited with their families, she wrote a letter to her daughter: “After being brined, salted, and pickled in mid-ocean I am now high and dry… I have had flowers, letters, telegrams-people until I am befuddled.

  • Mask Of Motherhood Essay

    912 Words  | 2 Pages

    Finally, I argue that “truth in mothering is a far better policy” (Thurer 334). As Eva observes during a prison visit, “it was following…pat scripts that had helped to land me in [this] room” (Shriver 44). In her letters, she is finally able to break free from the wife role and speak truths that the mask of motherhood had suppressed. Her authenticity with Kevin during the prison visits nets more progress in their relationship than all those years of pretending ever had. When she finally asks Kevin why he did it, he is honest about his uncertainty. Remorseful, he returns Celia’s eye to her and asks her to bury it. He then embraces her, showing vulnerability. As Eva and Kevin look upon each other in this moment unmasked, she finally realizes, “I love my son” (Shriver 400). Ruddick describes attentive love – a mother perceiving and supporting a child’s real experience – as a counter to the mask’s fantasy and inauthenticity (105). When Eva and Kevin finally unmask, she is able to attentively love him as he truly is. Eva’s love, in its unconventionality, is not the “continuous, unconditional” mother-love of myth; but in its authenticity, it is far more meaningful (Rich

Her two sisters, Carol and Beverly, were waiting for her to arrive eagerly. She was born into a loving family of 4. Her father, Andrew Dyer, was a car mechanic during the day and a security guard at night, whereas her mother Winona “Dorothy” Mitchell, worked in retail at Woolworth. They had the most beautiful marriage she had witnessed back then. One her most fond memories of her father was when he'd take her into work with him at a young age to show her off at work. At that time they didn't have car seats so she would stand next to her father and wrap her arms around him to keep steady. He made her feel very safe as they rode together. She loved her mother very much and she even thought of her as her role model even though she was the harsher and stricter parent. She recalled a time when they were over at her friends house for a holiday dinner and she kept on trying to say something but her mother was still talking and she yelled at her mother to shut up, which only got her a swift smack on her bum and she felt utterly humiliated though she knew she deserved it. Holidays were a stressful time for her and her family because they were very busy they had so many dinners and parties to attend, however they loved all of their friends and family so it was all worth it.

  • The Titanic: The Titaking Of The Titanic

    1034 Words  | 3 Pages

    “It took two hours and forty minutes for the titanic to sink, just long enough for 2,208 tragic performances to unfold, with the ships lights blazing” (Sides 2). April 1912 the white star line’s pride, the titanic, left for its voyage that would change history forever. While traveling through the Atlantic Ocean they collided with an ice berg causing fractures throughout the boat. The ice water filled the compartments causing the front of the boat to weigh down the back, separating the boat in two. Research shows that the cause of the Titanic’s sinking was due to a dramatic increase in the probability of running into an iceberg and its high speed while traveling through the North Atlantic Shipping Lanes in 1912. As a consequence of the sinking, the U.S. Coast Guard now runs the international ice patrol and monitors the ice bergs by radar and satellite. Also it is now required to carry binoculars and radio connector all times on a ship.

    It was a silent night on April 14, 1912, and the ship was cutting through the water like a knife. Suddenly, a huge jolt rocked the entire ship, shocking all the passengers and crew into full alert. Some of them had realized the fact that they were in terrible danger, for the ship has hit a berg that night at exactly 11:40 p.m. Most passengers and even crew members downplayed the event. None of them realized yet that by the time the first hours of daylight came, the Titanic would be gone, along with two-thirds of her passengers and crew. When the passengers realized their impending doom, it was already too late: lifeboats had been launched. After the sinking of the Titanic, many people believed it was simple bad fortune and found no legal negligence. Many have argued since the sinking about what the actual major factors were for the loss of lives on this ship. The major loss of lives on the Titanic is due to a combination of improper precautionary methods, poor weather conditions, and poor response overall to the situation.
