I will not forgive.

I, as a survivor of the titanic, would and cannot forgive the awful Captain Smith, for endagering thousands of lives. I could still hear the horrible screams and the sight of humans fighting for their lives as the boat sinks into the icey cold water in the middle of nowhere. It was almost like yesterday. How can a man be so stubborn? Why could he not warn us sooner and tell us that we had to act quick before the ship sank? I loathe the fact that he did nothing to prevent harm to the passengers and crews, and I cannot forgive this man who ignored the fact that we all had little to no chance of living. Children, men, and women were suffered and tortured all because of him. I watched as my mother and brothers slip away from my fingers. I was the only survivor of my family. I could never forget how terrified i was, and the scars on my body remind me everyday of it.

Pity For This Man?

In my opinion, a man who had killed thousands and thousands of innocent men, women, and children, do not deserve pity from anyone due to the fact that he was a volunteered Nazi of the SS. In the passage it qoutes "When the war broke out I volunteered, naturally in the SS"  If he felt so horrible for the actions that he made when he had killed helpless Jews, why would he be in the SS for just the adventures? He knew of what was to come, and he knew that he would have to kill thousands of people. "We heard screams and saw the flames eat their way from floor to floor... We had our rifles ready to shoot down anyone who tried to escape from that blazing hell..." He watched hundreds of Jews burn and cry for help, and yet he just stood there waiting to shoot anyone who dared to escape. He does not deserve pity from another Jew who have watched him kill his kind.
