What sets this book about the Titanic apart? Like any firsthand account of the Titanic disaster, the telling of the events are more raw; you just can’t beat a survivor’s account of the tragedy in terms of authenticity. But Eva’s story is even more unique because although it was written when she was much older, it is told through the eyes of a child, making it simultaneously more terrifying and more hopeful. The secret to Lord's success, according to the New York Herald Tribune 's critic Stanley Walker, was that he used "a kind of literary pointillism, the arrangement of contrasting bits of fact and emotion in such a fashion that a vividly real impression of an event is conveyed to the reader." [6] Walker highlighted the way that Lord had avoided telling the story through the prism of social class, which had been the usual style of previous narratives, and instead successfully depicted the human element of the story by showing how those aboard reacted to the disaster whatever their class.

He started reading about and drawing Titanic at the age of ten and spent many years collecting Titanic memorabilia, causing people to "take note of this oddity."

What sets this book about the Titanic apart? While Smith features in many stories about the Titanic, this is the only account I am aware of dedicated solely to him and his life. As is often tradition, Smith went down with his ship, and so has never been able to defend himself in regards to the tragedy. Cooper gives a well-researched and non-biased look at who Smith was, why he was so well-liked, and what, if any, part he played in the Titanic’s demise. I’m an author of Young Adult Fantasy fiction. When my oldest was six, I started reading Harry Potter to him. It was such a bonding experience that we both cherish. We still talk about the stories, even though he's all grown up and lives away from me most of the time. The thing about fantasy is that stories set in worlds or with people that don’t actually exist make it easier for us to swallow deep meanings, storylines with which we can identify, and that crawl deep down into our souls and nest there. It’s not just about escaping into a fantasy world, but about finding human experience in otherworldly situations and characters. This is one of the most popular renditions of Dear America. Read about Margaret Ann Brady’s Titanic voyage in diary format. I’ve read others in this series and they may be only suitable for middle school students and up, but they are well worth the read.

I have been thinking a lot about what feminism means for me. In this interview, I said, "I wish more authors would write about strong women, beyond the strength and importance of motherhood, but not just emulating traditional male behavior." I feel that this is the kind of strong woman I am, as a woman forging a non-traditional path in mathematics. I have been on something of a mission to find books like this, and particularly ones written by women. I find such books frustratingly rare, so I wanted to recommend a few that I have found. There is more to being a woman than falling in love and having children.
