Cox, Stephen. “Why the Titanic fascinates more than other disasters.” cnn.com. N.p., 9 Apr 2012. Web. 6 Mar 2014.
This source is fantastic. It practically talks about my topic exactly and it has given me a lot of good information. This source touches on why the titanic itself connects with Americans so much compared to other disasters that have happened in the past 100 years. It talks about why the titanic hit the public so hard and how because there were people on board that had to make drastic decisions in the moment that it doesn’t compare to other tragedies. The only other disaster this articles says the titanic compares to is 9/11. This is because people had to make decisions on whether they should jump or whether they should save other people, but like people on the titanic did. When they were on the ship they had to decide whether or not they should get on a life boat, stay on the ship, or save other people. It is a great conflict story, which is why it connects with the public. I can use this source in my paper to explain why americans enjoy the story of the titanic so much. it will help me to reinforce why the 1997 version is the one people connect with the most.
