April 15th marks the 102nd anniversary(周年) of the sinking of the Titanic(泰坦尼克号). The 11-storey ship was not just very large, but also unusually luxurious (豪华). It is therefore not surprising that the sinking of the Titanic continues to attract the interest of people of all ages, even today.
Over the years, there have been many books about this tragedy(悲剧). However, very few have been written from the perspective(视角) of the young passengers. This is why I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis is fun and different. The author uses facts from the real tragedy and makes up a heart-stopping adventure story starring a smart and brave boy George Calder. After spending an exiting vacation in England with their Aunt Daisy, ten-year-old Gorge and his little sister Phoebe, were heading home to America, aboard the greatest ship on earth, the Titanic!
Then on the night of April 14th, the first sign of disaster(灾难) appeared---the luxury ship hit a huge iceberg. But given that everybody in the world knew that the Titanic was unsinkable, there was very little cause for panic(惊慌). They were all confident that the ship's engineers would be able to repair the“slight”damage that had been caused by the iceberg.
This, of course, turned out to be untrue. Within a few hours the Titanic was not only sinking, but faster than most people had time to react. Added to this was the fact that there were not enough lifeboats to take all the passengers to shore. If that was not enough, when the emergency(紧急) call to get on the deck(*板) came, Gorge realized that his sister Phoebe was missing.
Will George be able to find his sister and help her get to shore? To find out, be sure to read I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912.
