"The Unsinkable Ship"

In Captain Smith's case, there are limit's on forgiving him. His selfishness and greediness caused many deaths that didn't have to happen. Then again, you can only point fingers at the captain for so long. What about the ships builders', Harland and Wolff who called the ship "unsinkable"? The Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, that's only enough for 1/3 of the ships' passengers. Isn't that the fault of the builders and engineers? If I would have been a relative of someone who died on the Titanic, it would have been hard for me to forgive the captain, builders, or anyone involved. It's one thing to die because it's your time or old age, but to see your whole family diving into the freezing water as you drift away on one of the lifeboats to safety, you would definetely have some hard feelings. The captain should have been smarter and made better decisions, so more people could've been saved. But I think the real blame still lies in the hands of the builders. The didn't have enough life boats, and called the ship unsinkable when the scrape of an iceberg took the ship down. With so many people to blame it's hard to forgive and forget, but everything happens for a reason and the crew and everyone involved did the best they could to save people. If they would've been a little more prepared for a disaster, maybe less people would have died.

Self pity.

I think that the Nazi had no right to pity himself over the Jews. The text states that he said, "Those Jews died quickly, they did not suffer as i do." To say that he is suffering more than the Jews is ridiculous. He is lying on his deathbed in an actual bed, with food three times a day, with a huge room all to himself, with a nurse who is always at his side, and he has the nerve to say he is suffering. The Jews were lucky to get fed once a day, and had to work like dogs until they were either shot, sent to the gas chambers, or starved to death. Yes, the Nazi is suffering and in pain, but he doesn't have it near as badly as the Jews did. The story also says that the Nazi says, "The pains in my body are terrible, but worse still is my conscience." If you ask me his conscience should be terrible. He should have felt guilty for what he did a long time ago, not now when he has nothing left to give and he is about to have to face heaven or hell. I bet if he wouldn't have gotten wounded he would still be out there killing innocent people with a clean conscience. The Nazi deserves pity from no one, especially the Jews.
