There are also several other funny stories that happen as they grow up. It's my favorite book because you can learn so many things from the characters (Scout, Jem, Dill, Atticus, and Jim) and their experiences. Title: To Kill a Mockingbird

There are some things about the TITANIC that were kind of interesting to me. There were 1,316 passengers on the ride from the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. Some of the world’s richest people had planned this travel for months. Some people paid 1,000 dollars just to take the TITANIC`s first voyage. There was one person that was a captain by the name, Captain Edward Smith, he was the one who led the ship`s crew of 890 people. When the ship started to sink everyone tried to get into the lifeboats, all the women and children had to go first. Then the men who were lucky could get on the lifeboats too. When the ship was almost under the women were sobbing silently. Some women even tried to call out to the men on the ship, but no one answered, until someone on the deck called out and said, “We`ll meet in New York!” There are facts in the book like only one lifeboat out of 16 came back to the spot were the Titanic sunk to look for survivors. The iceburg that the Titanic struck was 100 feet or over 100 feet. This book makes you feel like you are really on the Titanic. ***Added by Mrs. Wilson-The Titanic is a different sort of book because you can read a few pages and then choose one path or another. Every time you read the book it is different! We have another book like it called Underground Railroad. The Titanic-
