Kessel’s Story

 

        This is the story of the Titanic. Once the Titanic was floating along, and then, at night, it hit an iceberg. It started sinking. The people got scared. The captain knew that there was 2,227 people on board. Then the captain saw that there was lifeboats. “We could use the lifeboats!!!” The ship started sinking more, and more, and more. Then the captain told the people to get in the lifeboats.

 

        The captain was afraid. He knows that 2,227 people were on board and there were only enough lifeboats for 1,100 of them. The ship was still sinking more and more and more. Then people got in the lifeboats. Then people shot the string down on the chimney and the chimney got bent and fell down. The people were in the water wearing life jackets. The ship started sinking even more and more and more. And then, once the chimney fell down, it hit the people.

 

        Then the ship split in half. It made lots of electricity flashes. And people got hurt because the electricity splattered on them. The ship swung straight up. For a moment the Titanic stayed pointed at the stars. Then it disappears under the black water.

 

    The end.
