The second is about a man named Jimmy Valentine who turned his life around after being released from prison. The third summarizes the sinking of the Titanic, including how it was thought to be unsinkable but hit an iceberg, causing it to sink and forcing people onto lifeboats.

man towards the economy so

• Jimmy Valentine wasn’t a bad
person he just did really bad
things within his lifetime, by that
i mean he has robbed banks,
cracked opened safes and he
just kept running and for that he
got a four-year sentence in
prison. While he was serving his
time 10 months into his sentence
he was working in a shoe shop.
The warden had also been giving
Jimmy some advice about his life
and how he should turn it around
before it was to late and
cracking safes open and robbing
banks wasn’t going to get him
very far in life . The warden
warned Jimmy if he slipped up he
would be right back in prison
where he belongs.

days they became friends when he got to know her

unsinkable ship as they
said it was as big as a 50
foot building and as long
as long two blocks put
together the Titanic was
a great ship with many
qualities and everyone
who was anyone wanted
the chance to board the
ship. The Titanic was
able to hold 6,000 people
and as soon as everyone
was on the ship then took
off .

a great time and then suddenly something unusual
happened the deck boy saw a piece of ice floating
towards the boat and they told he captain about twice
and he ignored the call so as the boat and the ice meet
the ship stopped and soon they stared to sink as they
started to put people on life boat Ms. Becker started to
get frighten by the fact that her child had to go into a
boat with out her and as she got into the life boat she
told her child everything was going to be okay but even
as she told herself that she didn’t even believe herself
