 | The Great Ship  [18+] The final minutes on the Titanic, and they did their best.  |
| (4.5)| Hi Winchester Jones , This review was written on behalf of House Targaryen as part of "Game of Thrones" !

This is only the opinion and suggestions of the reviewer and it is still up to the author of this piece to consider this review as a corrective action or otherwise. What I liked ...  This retelling of the final moments onboard the Titanic has moved me more than I expected. I really felt for these people who knew their lives were about to end, and I felt frightened for them. I wanted them to escape, even though I knew they couldn't. It made me think about how claustrophobic and anxiety-inducing the situation must have been. Wow. It's not that I've never thought about it before. I've seen the film (who hasn't?), but there is something about the way you have told this story that hit me. I think it is the normality and ordinariness of everyone's actions amid such terrifying events. The band playing while the ship went down is something I learned from watching the film. The others, though, I'm not sure whether you made them up, or whether you have read about people who were on the ship. But they are all great. The upper class men who are smoking and drinking and they allow the steward of one of them to join them. He, then, passes around a joint. (I loved that.) Also, I loved how the steward was wearing his employer's top hat and tails, and the suit doesn't fit him properly. I like the steward. He strikes me as a person with a lot of guts. Sophia and Teddy are a sweet couple, making love for the first time because they know it will be their last time. That is so sad. It did make me smile how Sophia would only do it if Teddy said he loved her. Not surprisingly, he did so straight away. I love the end. The words, "It was coming. It was coming." take your readers closer to the inevitable, and the way you describe the ship as tipping at a thirty degree angle, reminds us that there is no escape for these people. Still, the men reflect how it wasn't a bad life. Suggestions: There is just one typo. " ...and though they were goinging as fast as they could ..." It should be "going." Parting comments: This is a fantastic story. You really put me in the heads of some of those people who didn't make it to the lifeboats. It's very moving. Choconut    My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
