How To Make Apple Snail
Pomacea Maculata (Apple Snail)
(Any and all relations to the 1997 movie Titanic are purely coincidental and did not happen. The following is a work of fiction that is not related to the film in any way.)

Once upon a time in a swampy swamp there was a young Florida Apple Snail named Leopold. One day Leopold was searching for food and discovered a snail named Cal from a swamp a long ways away. He spoke of dark days when things called nematodes entered other snails and weakened them so that other animals could eat them more easily. He told Leopold of two snails named Jack and Rose who lived in a swamp named Titanic. He spoke of how after Jack drank water from an infected puddle he grew weak and could hardly move, almost as if he were frozen.

Jack pleaded with Rose to leave him but she refused until he told her that life is a gift and that he doesn’t plan on her wasting it. He said his luck ran out, but she still had a chance at life. He told her that her heart will go on and that he will always be with her. He said, "Listen, Rose. You're gonna get out of here, you're gonna go on and you're gonna make lots of babies, and you're gonna watch them grow. You're gonna die an old... an old lady snail, warm in her bed, not here, not this night. Not like this, do you understand me? Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.” She told him that she promised and that she would never let go. She said that she would always love him, and then she left and watched as Jack mustered all his courage and will power and inched his way toward Glacier, he looked back once and waved goodbye to his only love, Rose. And she watched as he was swallowed by the lizard. She managed to find a place to hide as Glacier ate 1500 of the snails that were in Titanic Swamp. Of all the snails that didn’t make it out before Glacier made it into Titanic …show more content…
Come to think about it, I don't think I have ever seen an old song bird. Our population has grown at a linear rate, and hasn’t had a whole lot of variation because we lay a lot of eggs, sometimes 300 or so, and even if only half of them live our population goes up quite substantially because animals do not like to eat our eggs. We lay our eggs in big bunches like sea turtles, but instead of burying them we leave ours out on some plant stems.” Leopold began to think about all the snails that he knew and wondered what would it be like if all of them were gone. He realized how these snails were responsible for eating a lot of the surrounding plant life and that if they were all gone a lot of the plant life would be able to run wild. He also realized that animals such as the caiman lizard and the everglade kite would have to find other means of food. They would start eating other animals in the environment and could possibly wipe the other species out because of the increase in their consumption. Algae would grow up and then other small animals would have more to eat and would lead to their populations growing to be quite large and could lead

    Everyone felt the cold breeze on their face, their eyelashes; frozen. Their hair is iced in place and everyone is surrounded by freezing cold water. No one can feel their body, it has only been ten minutes but people around Rose are already dying. The movie, Titanic, is based on historical stories 50 years prior. White Star Line, the contractors for the creation of the Titanic, and many others, believed that the ship was unsinkable. Therefore, no one would get on the lifeboats. Although, today's forensic science proves many flaws that the ship held. The Titanic is the most influential American film because it illustrates a profound look into history, uses engineering to recreate the historical event, and demonstrates how to live life.…

    “Titanic” is written in blank verse and uses a more casual diction. This helps identify with more people in today’s society, to whom the speaker is trying to identify with. His ideals are brought into light with the second stanza which mentions the fact that not only is it the fate of everyone to die; many have to do it alone. The idea is frightening for anyone; however, the speaker seems to take comfort by imagining the atmosphere of the ship before its final moments. By mentioning the “crowds of people, friends, servants...” (5-6), the speaker drives in the point that being able to spend your last days on earth in such fanfare is something worth romanticizing for. The exclamatory “Ah!”(6), further brings the speaker’s desire to focus.…

    The most powerful aspect of the film The Titanic is not the love story. It is not the grand staircase, or the luxurious dining room. It is not the interaction between characters, or the extravagant “Heart of the Ocean.” The most powerful aspect of The Titanic is that it actually happened. At the end of the film, there were 1,502 dead bodies sinking and in the freezing salt water of the Atlantic. No “story-truth,” no matter how elaborate, could create a greater tragedy than a “happening-truth.” Why not? Since “story-truths” are not as true as “happening-truths.”…

    Fredrick Fleet was the workman on guard on the Titanic on April 14. Fleet, had warned the personnel on the ship’s control deck to look out for icebergs that night, yet nobody was at the control panel that fateful night (McPherson 6). The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable when it was built in 1911. “More than 2,200 people were now aboard the Titanic including 1,300 passengers” (Senan 16). The location the Titanic deported from was Great Britain and it was headed to New York. After three long days of sailing on the North Atlantic, they stopped in Ireland. A few days later, the ship crashed into an iceberg that had made it’s way into North Atlantic from Greenland (Fahey 4). Many people went back to their rooms to get their valuables from down below (Lord 60). Most historians say that they don’t know the exact number of passengers that were on the Titanic because, there was no accurate list of them. The Titanic was a major disaster but could have been prevented if workers were at their stations.…

    Questionable events arose after the sinking because the only evidence about that night was the stories told by the few survivors. It was known that on April 10th 1912, the Titanic set sail on her first voyage from Southampton. On April 14th at 11:40 p.m. the ship struck an iceberg on her starboard side of the bow. On April 15th at 2:20 a.m., the Titanic 's broken off stern sank into the sea (Amy 2). For many people, it was hard to believe that the largest ship ever built had sunk on its maiden voyage. Since it was thought that Titanic could stay afloat with even the hardest of impacts it was hard to imagine that the Titanic went down just because of an iceberg that scratched her bow. Therefore, the world was shocked the morning of April 15th when news broke out that Titanic had gone down in less than three hours. A recently uncovered family secret has revealed new information as to why the Titanic sank so rapidly. Today, the Titanic lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in two pieces and a big debris field surrounding two square miles. The shipwreck site is one of the deepest places on Earth to be explored and has brought us new knowledge about the tragic events of April 15thas well as biological processes currently occurring…
